    Which Element to model STEEL CABLE? Please help!

    Hello, Deal All, Can anybody give me some hints which type of elements I should use to model Cable in ABAQUS? The cable could have different stiffness. Should I just use different E (Young's modulus) values to simulate this different stiffness? Thanks a lot.

    Problem with 2 Separate Meshes in CFX!

    Hello, Deal all, I have a CAD model with two components which share the same interface but have separate meshes. After I import the two meshes into CFX, how should I define the interface? Should I choose the Turbomachinery or General type of simulation? I tried to define the interface as Frozen...

    Nodal Force Check Error in ANSYS. Thanks

    Hello, all, I am doing some structure (flexible pipe)-fluid coupling using ANSYS and CFX. After I set up the structure part of problem in ANSYS Prep7, I check the load definition by :List->Load->Force->On All Nodes, and find there are some non-zero values shown (under both Real & Imaginary)for...
