Hi All, Can I simulate a press-fit in Workbench 8. I'm currently actually modelling the assembly of the 2 components (moving a fixed diameter onto tapers)to get the assembled stresses and contact pressures. Can i get the final results just with contact instead, i know i certainly can in...

Hi everyone, Unfortunately I’m still stuck using mainly Ideas 9 for FEA but have limited access to Workbench 8. I’m still amazed at it stability compared to Ideas. Anyway, I digress. I want to use Workbench’s lovely automated mesh refinement and convergence on some Ideas simulations as a quick...

Hi everyone, I’m after some advice on modelling 2D contact. Originally the 2D model was only intended for feasibility but has progressed to a point now where there might be some good results if I can model the load better. The joint I need to model is the contact of a circular part on a...

Hi everyone, I have been using IDEAS for about 6 years and have really been struggling with the structural non-linear stuff I have been doing recently. Over Christmas I was given access to Ansys workbench 8 and managed to get some really good, nicely converged non-linear results. I cant...

Hi, I cant select curves after they have been created. For example: creating a fillet; selecting curves for an extrude; create a section. The curves highlight ok when the mouse goes over them but it will not select. If you can drag a bounding box around, like for an extrude, it works fine...

Hi all, I’m having some problems getting a spherical ball and socket to converge using linear contact and was hoping somebody had some practical advice on contact models. The model starts by converging nicely and looks like it will converge by about the 6th iteration but unfortunately it just...

Hi, Just a quickie, does anybody know if ideas 10 supports the spacemouse in the visualiser? It dosent work in ideas 9 according to 3d connexion because there must be an API in source to create a connection for the driver. Very frustrating Many thanks Martin

Hi all, I need to delete the automatic text in a dimension i.e. the numerical value created with {0:@D} and replace it with some text. When you delete the {0:@D} it is always replaced when you close the window. I just want insert text like ‘Overall Length’ where the value would be in normal...

Hi all, I’m trying to convince myself that I can average von mises results across material boundaries for a this particular case: Imagine a model with an orthopaedic implant (material 1) and bone (material 2) side by side (no contact elements, just different partitions) in a linear static...

Hi, I have neglected to insert the density into a couple of materials in my material database. Unfortuantly I now need the mass of some of my assemblies that incorporate this material. When trying to modify the material I get a dialogue box with ‘Cannot modify material: an application is...

Hi, I want to use failure criteria other than Von Mises in the visualiser or even just post processing. Normaly the failure theories are quite simple like Coulomb-Mohr theory: max princ stress divided by materials UTS minus min princ stress divided by UCS. Fracture occurs if the answer is...
