ANSYS Workbench Normal Stress cylindrical
ANSYS Workbench Normal Stress cylindrical
(OP)
Hello, I have a problem with a model in ANSYS Workbench...I want to calculate the circumferential membrane stress of a structure. For me, circumferential membrane stress = normal stress in the radial direction in cylindrical system...as you can see on the picture, but it's does not give the same results as analytics...
Maybe I have a wrong definition of this stress...but I'm 90% sure :s
Thanks

RE: ANSYS Workbench Normal Stress cylindrical
There's a closed form solution for your problem; why are you doing FEA? Is this a test case?
To report hoop stress, you'll want to set up a cylindrical coordinate system in the center of your ring. You can scope your results to that coordinate system.
