Dear all,
I'm trying to model a troncocinc beam with line bodies in ANSYS DesignModeler to use it in AQWA module. I have a troncoconic beam, but I can only assign 1 cross section to each line body, so I can only create cylinders. It's very important to model the conic shape to get reallistic inertia and mass.
The only way that I know to create that geometry is by using shells, but I should use line bodies for this hydrodynamic problem.
Thanks in advance!!
