Dear all,
We are currently manufacturing an equipment for a client that is composed of many bended 48 mm pipes. The client requires a "ball-passing test" on all curves, which consists in passing a tolerated sphere inside the pipe: if it goes through, the bend is approved, otherwise it's not...
Hello dear friends,
I am wondering if there's a way to solve a problem I'm facing. I want to create a crank mechanism that runs at a steady frequency (18Hz). However, the electrical engine that will run it will rotate at different speeds. Is there any way to make it? Any mechanism that...
Hello!
I am performing a transient thermal analysis (welding, to be more specific). I am trying to use the Birth and Death technique and so far all I could do is to kill the elements of the weld bead. Now I want to reactivate them... I have two ideas that I would like to test but I have no idea...
Hello,
I am performing a transient thermal analysis to identify/predict the heat affected zone dimentions. The welding is being performed on a SAE 1020 steel, using the same metal as filler material. After obtaining the welding results they will be compared to experimental ones. I've seen in a...
Hello all,
I am trying to do some subsequent simulations and I want to import the last subset of data into the next simulation. To be more specific, after heating up a plate, I want to export, if possible, it's nodal temperatures into another plate (with same dimentions) but this time it will...
Hello once again,
I am having a hard time trying to activate another coordinate system. Here's the deal: a heat source moves through the center of the plate, based on the Global Coordinate System. After it finishes moving, another heat source must move 0.02 meters aside the path of the firt...
Hello again!
I am having some problems regarding my thesis' simulation, so I am looking forward to any help! I have some questions that I am about to make, but first, I think I should explain what I am trying to do:
I want to simulate what we call butt-welding, so I have to plot many weld beads...
I managed to solve the problem of my last thread here, but now I am having another one. The Workbench is plotting the heat source and it is clearly heating the plate, but it seems that the results of the last substep are not being considered on the next one. As the heat should be propagated...
Hello all! I am currently trying to make a moving heat source on ANSYS Workbench v14.5, and since I am a newbie I am using a script I've found on a Mastery's Degree thesis regarding welding. It uses the same heat source that I want to use, called double ellipsoid.
The problem is that it's not...
Hello,
My name is Rafael, I am researching buttering welding analysis using ANSYS Workbench. As it was recomended, I bought the book "COMPUTATIONAL WELDING MECHANICS" [Goldak], but it hasn't arrived yet. As I am waiting for it, I'd like to know if any of you could give me some tips on this...
