I'm using ANSYS 9.0 to model the deformations of a flexible, rotating wing subject to inertial loads caused by the rotational motion. I have been using the full nonlinear TRANS solver successfully. I'd now like to run the same simulation using the mode-superposition solver and compare the...
In ANSYS 9, I have a FEM of a thin membrane (in the X-Y plane) undergoing transient deflections. I've been using PATH commands to output the out-of-plane membrane displacements (i.e., UZ) on various cross-sections of the membrane.
Now I need to get the velocities and accelerations of the...
This seems like a really easy question, but I haven't been able to find a good answer. It's probably too easy to warrant mention, but I'm still new to ANSYS and am kind of lost.
How can I draw a smooth line based on a known parametric function? I want to draw a line (x,f(x)) where
f(x) = C *...
Hi, I'm relatively new to ANSYS and I'm looking for advice on calculating the forced, periodic response of a nonlinear structure. I'm using ANSYS 9.0.
Specifically, I'm dealing with the inertial loading of a flapping wing subject to periodic imposed flapping motion (via OMEGA, DOMEGA, and ACEL...
I was using I-DEAS NX 11 when I lost my connection to the network. The program shut down because it couldn't contact the license server. Apparently, the current project wasn't closed when I-DEAS shut down, because when I try to re-open the model file now that my network connection is restored...
I've just started using the FEA capabilities of I-DEAS 11 NX to do normal mode analyses of plates. I'm proficient enough to set up the model, perform the normal mode analysis and output some N mode shapes to the .LIS file.
What I also need to do is print out the entries of the N-by-N modal...
