Hi Folks,
I am using ANSYS Mechanical and have a question regarding force reactions. Is there a way to plot how a force is distributed over a fixed support?
To give a bit of background to my specific problem, I work for a Naval Architect consultancy and I am designing a transit cradle...
Hi Folks,

Hello Everyone,
I am relatively new to the world of ANSYS (I just started a graduate scheme this year as a tidal energy engineer). I have spent the most of my ANSYS experience using ANSYS Mechanical but I'm just starting to use the other tools the package has to offer also. I wish to set up an...
Hello Everyone,
I have an issue in a static structural analysis. I am designing a structure which is to be manufactured from many similar plates closely fitted together. I have drawn this within the CAD package that I use with the edges of each plate being coincident with the next one. Now...
Hi all,
I am having issues with a hydrostatic analysis I am conducting using ANSYS Structural. My geometry consists of several parts which are all constructed out of surfaces. These surfaces are then interconnected using a variety of mesh connections and contact regions. However when trying to...
