I would like to have a reference for the force that a hand can apply (I modelise a one hand punch). Thx !

Hi, I created some beam elements into workbench. I want to edit these elements with an apdl command. Is it possible to named or group these elements. In my postresults, I can read a list of beam elements, but I want to have a description for each one. I want to read results for these...

I found my errors. Thx for your help ! Simon

Is someone know the good sintax to use a if funtion in a for loop ? THX

THX for your answers I have an other problem (Sorry I am learning Ansys...) My nsel command doesn't works : The item label 8000 is not recognized by the nsel command...

thx for you answers ! I have an other question. I wrote ansys commands into workbench to constraint nodes, but, when I solve my model, Workbench put some weak spring because it doesn't detect any constrait (they are on my command line, workbench doesn't see them). Is someone know a way to...

Hi, I have another question in Ansys. I am searching for a spring/damper element that will be able to move in all direction to simulate a bolted assembly. I try with combin14, but I think that this element is unidirectionnal. In Nastran, I worked with CBUSH for that and it was great because I...

Hi, I want to know if is it possible to create a "cerig" from a command line in workbench like we do in Classic ?

I have an other problem. My RBE2 and CBUSH elements are not imported in my workbench simulation. Is it possible to translate them ?

Hi, We want to translate our femap/nastran model into Ansys Workbench. We first export the solution from Femap in .dat file. After that, I created an Fe Model in Ansys Workbench with this file. But when I want to create the initial geometry from mesh, an unknown error appeared and suggest that...

I have an other question in the same subject... Nut factors have an important influence in the relation Torque/preload but it is really hard to have a good precision on this factor because it depends on coeficients of friction between threads and between surfaces. Does someone know a good...

Hi, I would like to know what torque apply to bolts in general. Machinery handbook suggest 75-90 % of yield strength, but what is the best 75 ? 80 ? 90 ? Is it too dangerous to use 90% of yield ? thx Simon P.

Yes it was that... :S

Hi, Is it possible to create 1-d mesh in Workbench ? I try to make a line and assign cross section in design modeler. But, when I generate my mesh, it create a 3d mesh. Thx

When you uninstall ansysworkbench, be sure you delete all windows environnement variables relative to ansysworkbench. I think that the update of them is not automaticly.
