    Apply load steps

    Hello, I am trying to apply 2 load steps : one for torsion and the second for traction. How can I define and apply load steps ? Regards CNAMITMA

    Torsion in a cylinder

    Hello NodalDOF I am using hyperelastic elements : SOLID186 (prism when I let the mesh free) and you're right they haven't rotational DOF ! but I added ROTX, ROTY and ROTZ in the preprocessor/element/Add DOF, apparently it isn't enough... How can I do that? Knowing that I have a non linear...

    Viewing results inside a volume

    For my first question, I meant that I wish to select the second cylinder in order to see the results (the values) only in this cylinder. Because as the 1st cylinder is in a rigid metal and the 2nd in rubber, the stresses vary between very low and very high values and the contour plot are not...

    Two simple ansys questions

    Hello, For your first point : Preprocessor/Loads/Define loads/Apply/structural/pressure/on lines then select the lines where the pressure has to be applied. I hope this will help you Regards

    Viewing results inside a volume

    Hello, In my model I have 2 cylinders glued and made of different materials and I would like to postprocess : 1. Only the results in the cylinder n°2 (contour plot and the values) 2. The nodal results inside this cylinder (the values) for example the value of NLHPRES in the center of the...

    Torsion in a cylinder

    In fact I would like to draw in a graph the evolution of the moment versus the angle of the torsion in order to compare the results obtained with ansys and experiences. Now I only applied torsion to my model but the final aim is to apply torsion and traction. So in a second time i would like to...

    Torsion in a cylinder

    Thanks for your help and your precisions, torsion is now applied. But I have another problem, I can't postprocess (read the results) the Mz or any load values of my model, neither for the Rotz. Why ? It's because of the method ?

    Torsion in a cylinder

    Thank you Brian for your reply I understand, I was near the solution... But How can I create this master node, independant from the model ?! creating a node in : prepocessor/modeling/create/node ? An other thing, the array parameter containing the slave nodes how can create it ? creating a...

    Torsion in a cylinder

    Hi, I begin with Ansys and I would like to know how can I apply torsion (a moment) in a cylinder made of rubber (hyperelastic behaviour and HYPER elements) ? (I modelised an "armature": a rigid cylinder above the rubber cylinder glueded together) I guess I have to modelise a keypoint or a...
