I am trying to do a simple 2D pressure analysis on a cylinder with notches/steps on the OD and ID of the cylinder. Pressure was applied on a portion of the OD and ID but the result of the analysis shows a heavily distorted cylinder which don't look right to me. Note that i constraint the...
Erik, thanks! Your suggested BC works. Expanding on the question, how would you define the BC or symmetry if this is a 3D FEA using 180 degree model? Reference code attached.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=1a8e5dd4-9e91-4b47-8792-ab7d2a00a0bb&file=3D_cylinder.txt
I have a cylinder with dual bore and is interested to see the effect of applying pressure to one of the bore. I wrote a code for APDL in 2D for my problem but saw an error message "both solid model and finite element model boundary conditions have been applied to this model.....". The analysis...
