I am having problems with my element kill analysis using ANSYS 13. I am trying to analyze three cable spans that are subject to a cable breakage that is modeled using the ekill command. The analysis time is 2 seconds. The results for the first second of the simulation are fairly accurate, but...

I need to find the bending stress in the beams without converting the element into isoparametrics.

I am trying to model a simply supported beam with a point load at the center to show that ANSYS will give the correct deflection. When I run the analysis the deflection that ANSYS gives is different then what the actual should be. The deflection Ansys gives is 0.020348 meters when the actual...

I'm trying to get ansys to calculate the stress in an arbitrary beam section that has user defined properties for the ASEC type beam. For the project I'm working on I need to work with unmeshed elements.

Is there a way to get Ansys to calculate and show the bending stress of an arbitrary beam element without having to mesh it?

I have a simply supported cable of 100 meters length that is subject to a pretension force and self-weight. The maximum deflection that is calculated by Ansys is a lot less than the theoretical deflection. Ansys gives a deflection of 1.27m when the actual deflection should be 12.5m. I have...
