torsional static analysis with ansys
torsional static analysis with ansys
(OP)
Dear all,
I need to perform a static analysis of a solid, "complex" shaped parts designed with ProE, meshed with SOLID element.
The question is: I can visualize tensile stress and von mises stress, but I need to know also the shear stress and rotation displacements.
Is it possible with solid elements? I cannot find a solid element with 6dof, how could it be?
Please answer it's urgent and I don't knwo how to solve this problem!
thanks!

RE: torsional static analysis with ansys
What you could do is evaluate displacement of two (or more) adjacent nodes and calculate the rotation.
Or define a beam element or shell element (with rotation), overlay a surface of the solid elements, and extract the rotation from this. Make sure that the element is less stiff than the solid element.
