Hello all, I am carrying out a draft static linear analysis for a bike frame with the use of 3D beam elements. The elements available DOFs are Ux, Uy, Uz, ROTx, ROTy, ROTz. Which DOFs should I constrain in order to simulate a simple vertical loading in the pedal position? Thank you in nadvance

Thank you very much again! Yes, that is what I need. So, as I understand, I need a contact between inner and outer pipes and a contact between the end of the fisrt and the start of the second pipe. Regards!

Thank you! This will apply between the inner tube and the outer one. But as far as the two outer cylinders are concerned, I have decided to connect them with the use of rigid beam elements. Is this right?

Hi all. I am modelling a pipe using Ansys mechanical (NOT WORKBENCH). My case is that i have the pipe split in two parts (half length each) which are in contact and connected with the use of an inner tube. The inner tube is glued in the one of the two pipe parts (considered as perfectly bonded)...

Hello, I am modeling a composite laminate using SHELL281 layered elements. My enquiry is if there is a way to extract the laminate stiffness matrices (ABD matrices) of my laminate from Ansys, either via GUI or APDL commands. Thanx in advance, Astrinos

Thank you very much. It really helped.

Hi to everyone, I would like to list all the x-strain results for a node for all timesteps. I think the best solution is to use time history postprocessor. The problem is that i need to read the results in the coordinate system of the solution (RSYS,SOLU), but time history postprocessor only...

Hi! I i'm trying to model an 8-ply laminate in Patran, but for LS-Dyna solution. I have changed the prefered analysis code in PATRAN, and made the geometry and the mesh. The problem is when i'm trying to create the material and its properties. The only material model that is available for 2D...
