    Ansys WB10.0 -- cylindrical forced displacement

    Hi Guys, Thanks a lot. After Ansysfreak remarks I managed to insert the command object and used the cylindrical system (created in workbench) by manually giving it code 12 (so CSYS,12) to rotate the nodes into it by using APDL. Took a while before I figured out I needed prep7 to jump out of...

    Ansys WB10.0 -- cylindrical forced displacement

    Hi Garry, The cylindrical support constraint is used for constraining cylindrical parts, however it does not allow you to provide a value for the displacement. Maybe I need to redefine my issue a little : I want to expand a metal tube with some cutouts in radial direction. I expect that by...

    Ansys WB10.0 -- cylindrical forced displacement

    Hi Alex, Thanks for your update. I was already considering moving my model into Ansys classical. I've had no luck yet with workbench. The weird thing is, that it is actually pretty easy to define a cylindrical coordinate system in workbench. I've found out that the new coordinate system IS...

    Ansys WB10.0 -- cylindrical forced displacement

    Hello all, Hope you can help me out with this one. Using ansys workbench V10.0 I'm trying to apply a radial displacement constraint on a cylindrical object. I've managed to create a new local coordinate system which resides at the axis of the cylindrical object. In some way however, workbench...
