Hi All, I am designing an industrial building. The perimeter beam has axial force as well as moments. The beam is simply supported at two ends and laterally braced at the top compression flange at every L/4 points. The total length of the beam is 16m. I know for lateral torsional buckling I can...

Dear All, I want to copy the nodal results from Ansys to the excel file. Is there any way I can do it? Thanks Mon

HI Everyone, I am trying to find the ultimate load capacity of a steel beam.I am doing the nonlinar large displacement analysis with stress stiffness on,applying load as displacement, using perfectly elastic plastic material properties and von Misses yield criteria. I am applying unknown...

HI everyone, I am trying to do eigen value buckling analysis. I got an error message when doing this.I did the static analysis with prestress effect on.When doing the Eigen value analysis the error message is "There are no degrees of freedom active". I am wondering why I am getting this message...

Hi Everyone, I am doing nonlinear analysis of a box girder modelled with shell181 element. I have 1. Material nonlinearity 2. Geometric nonlinearity 3. Rigid to flexible contact and flexible to flexible contact. As I dont know the ultimate load carrying capacity, I am trying to find that using...

Hi everyone, I am doing nonlinear analysis of a beam rested on a support. I modeled the beam with shell181 element and the support as an area.I define Rigid to flexible contact between the support and the beam where the support is rigid and beam surface as flexible. Time=1, and substep=40. I am...

HI Everyone, I am modeling a steel box beam with shell181.Beam is subjected to two point vertical loading which will produce constant moment region in the middle of beam.I want to know the utimate load carrying capacity of the beam. As the thickness of beam is very less like .0451in,it will be...

HI Everyone, I am modeling a steel beam with SHELL93 element. I am trying to find the ultimate load capacity of the beam considering geometric nonlinearity, stress stiffening on, and also material nonlinearity. I used Bilinear kinemetic hrdening material model. Yield stress=50ksi, E=29500ksi. As...

Hi everyone, I am trying to model bilinear isotropic material in ansys. I have data yield stress=50ksi, ultimate strength=64ksi,E=29000ksi Elongation%=27.I wanna calculate tangent modulus. I dont know wheather I can calculate it or not. Is there anyone who can help me in this regard? If its not...

HI Everyone, I am doing nonlinear analysis with large deflection statics.I want to determine the load capacity when the deflection of staructure is large enough with no increase of load.I dont know how I can apply my load. For my model I am considering material nonlinearity and also geometric...

Hi everyone, My model is a built up steel sections made from two face to face channel sections connected by bolt.I am trying to model contact surfce between the overlap areas of thin steel plates.the plates are initially in contact. I am using shell93 to model the steel plates. To model surface...

Hi Everyone, I want to model a built up steel sections connected by series of bolts using ansys which will act just like a beam. As the thickness is less than 1 inch , I think I can use the shell element. But I dont know how I can model the bolts? I want to know the mid span deflection of the...
