Applying a shear stress in ANSYS
Applying a shear stress in ANSYS
(OP)
Hi There,
I'm trying to undertake a 2D patch test for shear (Txy), but I cannot figure out how to apply a shear stress in ANSYS.
I am presuming it has to do with applying a pressure, but it will only apply a positive or negative pressure perpendicular (i.e. into or out of) the face. I have spend a siginifcant amount of time trying to figure this out,I have v 8.0 and 9.0 of ANSYS.
Can anyone tell me how to do thisor provide any assistance?
Cheers!!
Franz

Thanks for your prompt reply!
However, I'm not comparing a physical structure, but investigating the validity of the shape function of the Finite Element by conducting (or attempting to,
Applying a normal stress is achieved in ANSYS by applying a pressure, e.g. to a line in a 2D model. However, I do not know how the application of shear stress, e.g. to line in a 2D model, is achieved in ANSYS. It is how to accomplish this that I need to know.
NB I realise that the ANSYS elements are all valid, but the investigations I'm undertaking are for research purposes.
Cheers for your time and assistance!!
