    Sign of principal stress (S1) : tension or compression

    Hello, I meshed a plate of glass with shells. Ansys gives me a picture of results (principal stress), with positive and negative values. Stupid question : positive is tension or compression ? Thanks a lot Sev

    Is it possible to apply a maximum displacement ?

    Hello everybody, I am achieving a static mechanical analysis and would like to apply as boundary condition a maximum displacement in Z for some nodes. In Ansys, I find only the way to put a fixed displacement, and not a range (from 0 to 3 mm by instance). Can someone help me ? Thanks a lot, Sev

    Does anybody know SYSTUS ?

    Hello ! I am working on ANSYS, but my boss asked me to know a little bit more about SYSTUS. Can anybody tell me about this software ? Is it the same philosophy as ANSYS ? What are limitations ? Will I be able to make a electrical-thermal model ? Where can I find informations about it ? Is it...

    Postprocessing a portion of the model

    Hello everybody, I would like to use the PLNSOL command only a portion of my model. Which commands should I use ? I saw in the ANSYS users manual I can use the SUBSET command, but don't understand very well HOW to use it (arguments, other associated commands, ...). Can someone help me ...

    Impact of Young's modulus on Constraints

    Hello, I work on an finite elements model, with small and rigid bodies (no big deformation, ni striction, ni viscoplasticity, ...). It is a very simple structural static analysis. I wonder why, in my model, constraints vary with E, as the equation for constraint is normally "constraint =...

    Small pivot terms in calculation

    Hello, I try to make an analysis on a small flat thing (extremely rigid compared to the glue) glued on a glass, which is represented as follows. I apply a force F at a node N, which is connected (by BEAM4 elements) to each node of one surface of the glue. This surface is represented by...
