where lies the shell?
where lies the shell?
(OP)
hi to everybody.
This is my first post.
Question: a cylinder, 5in inner diameter, 0.1in thick.
I want to mesh it with a shell.
How should I model the cylinder?
A cylindrical surface 5in diameter, or a cylindrical surface
5+2*0.1= 5.2in diameter?
How chooses the program in which direction grows the thicknes of the shell?
Thanks!

For example in the VM6 problem of the Verification Manual, there is cylinder with rext=4.953 and t=0.094, and the problem wasn't solved taking into account a radius r-t/2.
Is this because the value of the thickness is too small?
Thanks Drej!

You always need to make hand-calcs so you know in what direction your result ought to be. Also you will need it for your report.
Always give an explination why Ansys gives a certain result solution. And yes thats the difficult part.
