Thank you. I edited the original post. It might be elevations, cross section is not showing it clearly. but that is the best explanation

I was looking at roof framing plan, and it includes the following W21x55 (+2 1/2"). what does that mean (+2 1/2")?

I'm trying to run my model using Ansys 14 APDL. at specific time i got this error forrtl severe 47, I attached a file showing the it. I couldn't find it anywhere in the documents. I cant proceed with my work anymore thanks for help

hello all, I have been looking for answers of these questions long time ago How can I get the total force sum of nodes for each substep without reading each step? the same manner we do with displacement with time. I noticed that some studies model concrete reinforcement as link element and as...

I was able to run it with displacement , but it doesn't work when applying force

I'm not sure what exactly do you want, maybe you need two parts connected perfectly, you may connect nodes or merge them after meshing.

I use WINDOWS7. control panel<system and security<backup and restore<Recover system setting or your computer< open system restore you should choose time previous the crash time. it is not formatting, you will not lose your files but will affect any new downloaded program. be sure to check the...

There is no error or warning messages at all, just non convergence. I thought that could be a failure of structure, but it didn't reach the maximum capacity.

you need to do substeps, check out this page http://www.mece.ualberta.ca/tutorials/ansys/IT/NonLinear/NonLinear.html

I faced something like that last week, so I restored my computer to a point older than the problem date and it works perfect now.

hello all, I'm doing my first analysis using ansys 14, modeling concrete column confined with CFRP using SOLID65 and SHELL181 (membrane only), the shared nodes were merged for perfect bond. the concrete modeled using (concrete and DP). the column fixed at the end and displacement is applied on...

Im modeling a concrete column. Part of the column has different properties than the other part( different stress strain curve)due to confinement , but still same object ( concrete and SOLID65). How can I model this? I was thinking of making separate volumes then connect the nodes to act like...

Thank you for help, I will check it out

Thank you Drej , that is so helpful. Is there any document listing the new types compared to old once, it is hard to know which are the same when u r newbie :). Also I'm doing circular column confined with composites, which is the best SHELL type that is work better for the composite material...

Thank you tibiX, this method does work but unfortunately these types are no longer supported.

I'm new ANSYS user, I need to use element types like solid 46 and solid 65 but I don't see them under any element type, actually I dont see that much options like the one listed in ANSYS manual, I use mechanical ANSYS 14.
