How to apply a displacement/boundary in cylindrical coord
How to apply a displacement/boundary in cylindrical coord
(OP)
Hi all,
I am modelling a curved beam with tangential boundary conditions.
I use the command "CSYS, 5" to activate the global cylindrical coordinate to model my finite elements, and it is ok. However, when I apply the BCs by "D, ...", all of these restraints are in cartesian coord although I do not change the active coordinate. The problem is the same when I apply a displacement.
Another thing is strange to me that the Ansys GUI seems don't understand the model when the DSYS is set to 5 (cylindrical).
Any inputs are highly appreciated. Thank you.
