    Does Ansys code exploit quad-core processors?

    Every time i do a run in Ansys, my Intel i7 processor only works at 12-13%, maximum 19-20%. When i had a classic single core processor i remember that it was used at 100%. I cannot understand why i cannot exploit my powerfull processor with Ansys. Maybe there is an option in Ansys or Ansys...

    Steering mechanism kinematics

    Greg, I have in mind that right now i have anti-ackermann which is bad to the steering design. I am in the process of fixing the ackermann issue. But even if i fix ackermann does the rear wheel (of the front axle) needs to steer less than the front one and why?

    Steering mechanism kinematics

    The load needed to carry is 200t. The total trailer length is fixed at 12m. Fixed also is the position of the rear wheels as you dont want to leave much unsupported part of the trailer at the back, where the majority of the load exists. Given this, you need to have 2 axes at the front to carry...

    Steering mechanism kinematics

    I think you didnt understand fully the wheel configuration. Probably it was my fault not to explain it clearly. Here is a drawing of the whole trailer to let you understand the wheel layout. The set of wheel you have seen in the pictures of my first post are actually the front wheel sets. At the...

    Steering mechanism kinematics

    I am currently designing a trailer for large boats (up to 200t) and i am in the process of steering mechanism design. I have made a basic and starting layout for evaluation. I attach 2 pics to let you underastand how this mechanism works. What you see is the left-hand wheel set. Problem is that...

    Force reaction problem

    I have designed the assembly shown in the picture. In image no1 (file2) http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/8600/file2k.jpg you can see the force (2000N) which is put upwards on the blue surface. In image no2(file3) http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/5505/file3.jpg its a cylindrical...

    Roll bar spring rate

    I mean antirollbar of course. I am sorry.

    Roll bar spring rate

    What about the roll bar rate in relation to the springs rate? Does the rollbar rate have to always be less than the spring rate?

    How to set a 1deg. max rotation and get the moment required as result

    I am designing an automotive chassis and want to analyse it in ANSYS 12. What i want to find is the chassis torsional rigidity. The units are Nm/deg. How can i set the maximum rotational displacement to be 1degree so i can directly get the moment needed to get this 1deg rotation? If i achieve...
