Reactions on the supports
Reactions on the supports
(OP)
Hi all!
I have an aluminium plate with some non homogeneity weight on the top.
Under it, there are 4 legs sustaining it.
I can get stresses and deformations easily (imprinting surfaces, applying forces, fixations...).
But what i would like to know is the force in the reactions. I have a limit of Kgs i can't exceed per leg.
This is a problem of classical mechanics, I wonder if it can be solved with Ansys workbench
Thank you

I do love computers.
I just learnt how to solve this problem with Catia FEM. There is a tool which you use in the supports and gives you the 3 components of forces and momentums.
What I want to do it's the same with Ansys workbench
cheers,

If possible, you should calculate the reaction forces by hand before retrieving them from FEA. This is one method of increasing the confidence in your FEA results. It's scary how many folks out there don't do these simple checks to verify their FEA results.

I didn't know anything about the probes, i will study these options deeper.
I have to admit how much I trust in FEM softwares. I could do this by hand, but it would take me much longer than with Ansys (now i know how to do it)
Thank you all!
