My question is if i input a series of velocity changes in a transient analysis will the program automatically generate the accelerations.
I.e. ramped velocity increase over a time period of 1s from 0m/s to 5m/s, will the acceleration force be applied based on these input values?
Dont worry about it i've sorted it out now, but that element is not in that copy of the theory reference which is the first result when you search in google.
Yup, element reference guide isn't very clear, too brief, and it isnt in my copy of the theory reference for some reason. If i could be directed to a copy of the theory reference with this element in it that would be awesome.
I want to use Mass 21 element as part of my program but im unsure of how to use it and cant seem to find much information on it.
Basically i want to know what real constants it needs. I know it is mass in each axis and inertia around each axis but how does one calculate what these would be?
Well i got it to work and dont i feel stupid. The simple test model i was using to test it worked was not solving because......
i was applying an axial load to a tensile element. And yes i do feel stupid. lol, program now works fine.
I will have a look at that because looking at the code and using my brief knowledge of such things it looked like that was where the problem was. What exactly did you do when you say you changed the constraints?
Thanks for your input btw.
Need some help here, my copy of ansys 12.1 wont provide solutions. When you click solve current ls it says it has done it but the values for everything are just zero.
Funny thing is previous models ive created on other computers work fine and will give me perfect solutions.
Does anybody know...
My problem is that i need to create a model of a golf club showing the loads/forces present as the club progresses through the different stages of the swing. I'm looking to utilise a simplified double pendulum method but im having trouble finding information on how to replicate motion in ansys...
