Analysis of Steel Frame in Ansys Workbench
Analysis of Steel Frame in Ansys Workbench
(OP)
I am currently attempting to analyse a simple frame using ansys Workbench(see link below)
I am wondering if it can be done using "line bodies" with "beam elements"??
At the moment I cannot find a satisfactory way to "release the moments" at certain vertices in order to transfer the load along the correct "load path"
I was wondering if anyone else had undertaken a similar project and had success in Ansys Workbench.
It seems to be possible in Ansys Classic, but I would prefer to use Ansys Workbench.
Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks

I'm curious to know, has anyone one else modelled a large steelwork frame in workbench? And if so what was their method. Workbench seems more set up for solid analysis.
But then again. A good workman never blames his tools...

Set your analysis requirements in the project window then your structure has to be modeled with line elements. WB certainly has this capability.
