    Reaction force in the Y direction

    Hello All, I am analysing a contact problem using Ansys wherein a D profile geometry is compressed against a cylinder. The issue is I am not able to understand why there are reaction forces in the Y direction of the cylinder even though the displacement is applied only in the X direction. Could...

    How to create Rigid links using Center of gravity and Moments of Interia in Ansys WB?

    Hello, I need to analyse Rigid Body dynamics using a cross of two Rigid links attached to flexible D shaped 2d sketch in Ansys Workbench. The dimensions which I have are just centre of gravity of these two rigid links and Principal moment of Inertia.[ponder] Can you guys please help me on how to...

    How to include wall thickness and mass per unit length for Plane Strain elements

    Its a term in Ship building. Anyway that not important. Real constants is an option wherein Thickness, Cross section area etc etc can be defined. What I meant is how can I add wall thickness and mass/length in Ansys where in I have to use just Plane Strain elements.
