Hello friends, I am very new in this forum but liked it. I tried to find some topics to help my issue but i couldn't. Now I explain;

I want to see concrete pipe reactions under loading. I learned ANSYS program in 1 day by watching youtube tutorials. I drawn the geometry very good but I am not sure about my modelling steps. Could you guys check my model and tell me what is my fault? While Solving, I got error messages. Please help me what can I do. I tried everything but this is unusually project(concrete pipe test modeling) so I couldnt find anything as my project.

I thought problem can be in;

1)Meshing
2)Support (fixed or anything)
3)Geometry (touching area btw pipe-impactor and pipe-support)

It is very important please help me as soon as possible. Thanx lot from now on.

I've not looked at your model. The error message suggests two things you should check:
1. Inappropriate load value.
2. Insufficient supports.

As part of the second point, it looks like you have contacts. Use the contact tool to check. Good luck.


Kind regards,
Jason
