    anyone? i'm kind of in a bind here... :-(

    Ansys Newbie....thermal + shells - please help!!

    >So why not just apply a pressure/force/displacement to the rectangle edge? Alternatively, apply a force/pressure/whatever and then see what the displacements are and then re-apply these as a single loadcase. And then calculate what, total strain energy? I tried what you mentioned before, but...

    Ansys Newbie....thermal + shells - please help!!

    It doesn't have to be a temperature that is applied really...I just need it to expand such that I get the same "shear" deformation. I was going to just calculate the thermal energy input to the model for simplicities sake, unless there is another way of doing it. Essentially what I'm...

    Ansys Newbie....thermal + shells - please help!!

    If someone could help me out and point me in the direction on how to do this, i would really appreciate it. I have tried everything I can, including google searches, books, etc. to no avail. I really need the formal training on this s/w package... Very simple. I have a rectangle. I'm using...

    Ansys beginner: How to model twisting pipe using thermal?

    Drej, Yes, I can do it that way. However, in trying to simulate how the plant actually moves (expansion of certain cells) the thermal route is more analagous to what I want to do. The reason for this is the fact that when all is said and done, I need to calculate the energy required to rotate...

    Ansys beginner: How to model twisting pipe using thermal?

    First off, I just started using Ansys about a month or so ago and I'm trying to learn as much as I can with tutorials, etc. However, I need to at least start my project. I'm trying to model the way a plant rotates toward the sun. I basically just need a starting point. That is, I need to...
