Bruce,
My advice is available when using classical ANSYS (not Workbench).
I have no idea if is applicable in Workbench. Maybe other members of forum could help.
Kind regards,
Juzz
Hi, Krs2ball!
First, the input you put there is only for geometry (I presume, seems a transfer from Parasolid). Anyway, I need to have the mesh and the boundary and loading conditions because the solver use these information and not the geometry.
When I asked for an input file I meant a file...
Hello, Bruce!
You could the followings:
1. Select areas where coating exists. I assume those areas are exterior areas of some volumes already meshed.
2. Use SHELL131 or SHELL132 (depending of the type of element used for solid modelling). These elements allow for through thickness...
Hello, krs2ball!
Can you send (put on eng-tips) the input file for plasticity problem?
I will try to help you but I can do this only after I see the input file.
Kind regards,

Hi, Rupika!
Please, pay attention that BEAM188 element is a Timoshenko beam, i.e. not a Euler-Bernoulli beam (use BEAM4 or BEAM44 instead). I strongly recommend to read from Ansys help the full description of element type before using it (criteria for using such element and estimation of errors...
Hello, mtbmx88!
Please find in ANSYS help description of the following commands:
DNSOL, DESOL, DETAB
that allow you to redefine (modify) the nodal and element results. Use this commands in an input that allow you to replace existing results with results obtained by your equation.
Contour...
Hi, Quotenkrueppel!
If you use /UNITS command (access Help to see description of command) Ansys will use a predefined system of units.
Otherwise, you should assure consistency over your analysis (analyses if couple-field analysis performed - I assume that you used ansys in connection with a...
Hi, Drej!
Could you please detail a little bit your word of warning?
I mean why is ACEL not suitable to use (as applied acceleration at the base of the tank)? It is not the tank under the effect of inertial loading?
Thanxs!

Hello, Rupika!
First you have to know that you could arrange your data in Excel directly:
1. First select column where the data is located and use the Excel command "Text to columns" from "Data" menu, setting delimiter to space only and checking that consecutive delimiters to be treated as one...
Hi SAGG,
1. Block all nodes at bottom of tank (shell only)and try to use ACEL command instead of prescribing acceleration of nodes. This will apply linear acceleration to entire structure along directions of Global Cartesian System axes.
2. Be aware that doing seismic analysis of vertical tanks...
Hello!
I have run VME2 from Verification Manual and the results are different from what is written in the manual. I have a maximum deflection of 0.240 instead of 0.226 and of course the checked results ratio is also different.
Anyone knows what happened?
Also, if there are other usefull...
Hello, mahesh!
Take a look to the Chapter 2 (Sequential couple-field analysis) of the Couple Field Guide from your help.
There you will have a list for the element types that you could use in a multiphysiscs in order to simulate couple-field problems. I think that you need to use SOLID70 with...
Hello, harid!
I try to complete my advice. Follow this advice and you could define pilot nodes it means nodes that control the behaviour of DOF's of the entire rigid body. You could impose in these pilot nodes displacements what you need and you will have good result. Once again you need only...
Hello, mikel526!
I have no problem at all in creating hardpoints. But I don't know what you intend to say "more than a few points...". And of course I think that it is very important how these HP's are distributed over the area.
I tried a little example with a rectangular area and I...
Hello, pmetelos!
If your question is how to apply internal pressure, the answer is simple:
1) Select nodes at internal radius (selecting surfaces and nodes attached to or in a a cylindrical system of axis selecting the nodes by location on radius)
2) Apply pressure on these nodes.
That's...
