I am having problems with my element kill analysis using ANSYS 13. I am trying to analyze three cable spans that are subject to a cable breakage that is modeled using the ekill command. The analysis time is 2 seconds. The results for the first second of the simulation are fairly accurate, but...

I am trying to model a simply supported beam with a point load at the center to show that ANSYS will give the correct deflection. When I run the analysis the deflection that ANSYS gives is different then what the actual should be. The deflection Ansys gives is 0.020348 meters when the actual...

Is there a way to get Ansys to calculate and show the bending stress of an arbitrary beam element without having to mesh it?

I have a simply supported cable of 100 meters length that is subject to a pretension force and self-weight. The maximum deflection that is calculated by Ansys is a lot less than the theoretical deflection. Ansys gives a deflection of 1.27m when the actual deflection should be 12.5m. I have...
