    Cyclic Symmetry + Meshing -- "cannot find matching topology"

    Update (for anyone who happens to still seeing this). It was the number of vertices on the cyclic faces which was causing this. Some quick fixes with virtual topology fixed the problem ;) Good luck to all with ANSYS!

    Cyclic Symmetry + Meshing -- "cannot find matching topology"

    Hi there, Am trying to figure out why I am not able to mesh my geometry in ANSYS using cyclic symmetry or match control (I assume both of these do the same thing, so one or the other should suffice) There is a difference of 0.00001 in^2 in the cross sectional area of the two faces I am trying...

    Periodic Boundary Conditions in Abaqus

    Hi there, trying to get Periodic Boundary Conditions working in Abaqus by making edits to an input file directly. However I am running into errors (as expected) while running the pre-procesor and I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong. I've followed some instructions I have seen whereby I...

    Theory vs FE - Internal Energy of Solid Cylinder in Pure Axial Compression

    Hi there, I am having a bit of a conundrum here with Abaqus. As I understand it, when doing internal energy calculations, the energy of the FE solution should go higher as the number of elements in some geometry increases. As would be expected this continues to a point. Also, the energy as...
