Can someone help me with looking at the interlaminar shear stresses between the layers of a composite in ANSYS. For now I am working with a single element model that I have used for data verification. The model has 40 layers of the same material at various orientations. Any help would be...
I am trying to mesh a simple cylindrical pressure vessel with flat ends. I would like to have all hex elements of type SOLID186. Is there a way that I can force Workbench to mesh the cylinder with all hex elements? I am wanting to eventually incorporate composite layers in the model. Is...
I have created a simple one-element model in ANSYS classic to compare to some theoretical results I have calculated. I have tried creating the same model in ANSYS Workbench, but I am having trouble getting the thermal gradient to work.
The model I am working with has 40 composite layers of...
Does anyone know the advantages to having ESAComp to model composites as an add-on to ANSYS?
I was just trying to figure out what the advantages/disadvantages were.
Thanks.
I have modeled a basic 1-element model with pressures on the edges and a thermal gradient. There are 40 layers of the same material but at various fiber orientations.
I was just curious if there is a method I can use to get the output such as sigma_x for each layer without having to change...
I am trying to learn the basics of modal and harmonic analysis. I have been looking over an example in a textbook I have, Finite Element Procedures by Klaus-Jurgen Bathe. It is Example 9.14 on page 818. I have tried running the problem in ANSYS, but I cannot get the values that are in the...
I am trying to run a basic model in ANSYS of a cantilever beam. What does ANSYS default the values of ALPHA and BETA to if they are not input into the program?
