Hello - I've been trying, out of curiosity, and possible need, to mesh areas with rectangular quadrilaterals.
Previously I've only ever used the AMESH command, but that only allows square quadrilaterals to be formed.
I've investigated many sites and searched for previous posts but can't...
Simple question that I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere (or work out... :( )
If I have an area, which I mesh, then generate the same area but moved back in the z-direction from the working plane, is there a simple way to make the generated area have different material properties to the...
Hi - have been trying to get a couple thermal-structural model working, using the LDREAD command. Everything seems to be going OK, except...
When I go to read and plot results I always get the error
"An error occured while attempting to open the results file FILE.rst"
(The .rth file is being...
Hi - I've recently been investigating thermal conduction in a simple model comprising a solid and a 3D thermal shell, a visual representation of which can be seen in the attached file.
I've done some reading about thermal contact, especially this thread...
Hi - I'm having problems using the radiosity solver.
I am trying to model a thin plate. Heat is generated on the plate and then there is radiative cooling. For a single plate I think I have the model working correctly.
However, I also require to simulate a double plate scenario, where the...
Hello - I'm working through some transient thermal analysis and all seemed to be going well. I thought I had the radiosity solver cracked. The results I am getting are very reasonable.
However...
I set up my material properties as such:
MP,DENS,1,2000 !DENSITY [kg/m3]
MP,EMIS,1,0.8...
Hi - I am working on a steady state thermal analysis. I have several heat fluxes defined, along with the thermal conductivity of the material. I wish to see the nodal temperature contour plot to show the temperature distribution. But when try to solve the model I always get an error such as...
Hello all
I'm a new user to ANSYS (and this forum), and a physicist by trade, so apologies in advance for any blatant engineering/ANSYS mistakes being made...
It is my task to create a thermal model. I have been having problems trying to create a mesh over the object I must model. The object...
