    Piezo material properties for ANSYS

    Hi, In ANSYS you can import material properties of piezo ceramics. But where can I find the specific material properties that are required by ANSYS? You can find all kind of piezoelectric material properties on the net, like...

    Changing CONFIG in workbench

    Actually it didnt work out, maybe because I get: ! Commands inserted into this file will be executed just prior to the Ansys SOLVE command. ! These commands may supercede command settings set by Workbench. And it must be set in the beginning of the file. Any ideas?

    Changing CONFIG in workbench

    I get the following error in ANSYS Workbench when doing a flexible dynamics simulation: *** ERROR *** CP = 2183.203 TIME= 22:50:21 Number of results on results file exceeds maximum of 1000. Maximum may be increased with /CONFIG command. I'm...

    Flexible dynamics (time history solution)

    Hi, I'm using different methods in the flexible dynamics of ANSYS workbench to obtain a movement of a plate (that is clamped on one side and free on the other side, see: http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/6376/1604200925507.jpg ) in the first bending mode, by: 1) applying a pressure on one side...

    Voltage Phase Difference (harmonic analysis)

    Hi, Is it possible to obtain a voltage phase difference between 2 electrodes (areas) with ANSYS? I have 2 (piezo) patches and in total 4 areas to apply a voltage. If I apply 0volt on one area, and 100 volt on the other area, I can apply the wished 100Volt on one patch. The same can be done...

    Ultra light/thin yet stiff material

    Thank you very much for your replies. Do you know or have experience with international suppliers with quick shipment of thin sheets of carbon fiber-reinforced composites (CFRP of 0.5 to 0.1 milimeter sheets in very small quantities, because its for making a small prototype).

    Ultra light/thin yet stiff material

    Hi, Does anybody know thin and light but stiff materials that could be used for wing material for the development of insect-like micro aerial vehihicles. The price is not very important, however it is prefered that international suppliers can ship it (to Europe). Any suggestions are very...

    Selecting nodes in a triangular area

    Hi, I have made a parametric model of ANSYS Batch (in APDL). The parameters are defined in the beginning, and every paramater can be changed with MATLAB and the results of ANSYS will be saved (in txt) and read in MATLAB. After that MATLAB can rechange a parameter and let ANSYS run again, etc...

    Maximize the first resonance frequency of a plate.

    Thanks for your reply GregLocock! I'm interested in increasing and maximizing the fundamental resonance frequency. The idea is to change the geometry (using ribs or other techniques) in a way that the natural frequency increases while the constraints are respected. The depth dimension is not a...

    Maximize the first resonance frequency of a plate.

    The boundary condition is free clamping, but the rigid body modes are neglected. It is not allow to make holes, you must respect a certain minimum thickness of 2mm. floattubber: Its the frequency, not response, that needs to be maximized. Why? The plate is used in a design where it operates at...

    Maximize the first resonance frequency of a plate.

    Hi I have a plate made of a certain material (plastic, cannot be changed). I need to maximize the first resonance frequency of the plate. The availible methods are: making some places thinner and using ribs. When using ribs on the plate with fixed dimensions (100mm x 75mm x 2mm) you can't...
