Ansys 11 - Firtree Optimization
Ansys 11 - Firtree Optimization
(OP)
I am using Ansys 11 to optimize the design of a firtree attachment for a turbine blade similar to one seen here: http:// www2.tech. purdue.edu /at/course s/aeml/pow erplantima ges/2blade mounts.jpg
I need to design the attachment to limit the equivalent stresses while minimizing the cross-sectional area.
I am relatively new to Ansys. So far, I have modeled the geometry using Workbench, since the complex geometry would be difficult to do in Classic. However, I am unable to import this geometry and parameters into Classic in order to use the optimization tool. Any tips on how to approach this differently?
Thanks for you help!
