    LS-dyna in Workbench

    LS-dyna in ansys Workbench is relatively new. There are no efficient tutoriales and descriptions for this module. Does anyone know how to increase the time step? The first plot show values in time steps but this resolution is not enough. how get plot with smaller time steps? The second screen...

    superelement- would it be helpful to use it in my simulation ?

    Hi I am not experienced in Patran. Most of the simulation I am doing in Ansys but these are complicated- I would need to write APDL script for it. I would like to ask you about you opinion. I have simple a simple simulation of shaft (shaft consist of 4 sections , exactly the same sections). On...

    any quick way (tip) to adjust / trim faces of parts in ASSEMBLY?

    Hi I have got some assembly file with a referenced drawing in it. Everything would be OK but there are plenty of collisions: one part is to long, another too short. I tried finding a quick way to prove this model but that seems to be more complicated that I suspected Look at the attachment How...
