    Ansys Workbench Pin Joints (end node release)

    Had anybody produced an automatic command script to release end moments of all beams (beam188) or found a way of changing the beam elements from beam188 to link8 elements. I have a complex 3D truss type structure. I thought there would have been an option in workbench to change the element type...

    Duplicate Elements

    Is there an easy way to assess a model to determine if there are any duplicate elements (i.e. 2 elements lying on top of each other) thanks

    Friction co-efficient for paint on steel

    Does anybody have any rough values for the friction co-efficient between a painted floor and a steel plate, or website that may have this sort of data. thanks

    Non Linear Analysis Problem

    We are having problems with running a non linear problem on Ansys. We have created a model in workbench and saved an input file. This is then imported into Ansys classic. Using 2 separate machines, on one machine the analysis runs right through to the last time step and converges. On the other...

    Ansys Designmodeler question

    I have a model of a 2m cubed box with a hole for a lid on top, this model has been produced in autodesk inventor and is thin (3mm thick). I have the inventor module for designmodeler and wish to bring it across. I wish to perform a mid surface extraction of the solid model so that i can use...

    split a surface?

    Whats the best way to split a surface. eg If ive got say a square surface and i want to split it into 2 independant surfaces. I have been experimenting with slice but having no luck. thanks

    Single Rotational Constraint

    Is it possible to create a single axis rotational constraint at a keypoint(point) in workbench simulation rather than a rotational constraint in all 3 axes? I just want to constrain a keypoint with a similar contraint as dk,,roty would be applied in ansys classic. thanks

    Ansys Designmodeler question?

    I am just starting out at learning DM. I have modelled a tube with some cutouts as a mid-surface shell structure. I want to send this model into ansys classic for some non-linear dynamic work. There are a few things i cant get to grips with 1. I cant seem to be able to export a named selection...
