    Integrate heat flux over an area to find total heat transfer

    Hi Everyone, I am using ANSYS Mechanical (Workbench) version 13.0. I have a radiation solution that tells me the heat flux over a surface. I need to integrate all of the nodal solutions on that surface in order to determine the total heat transfer passing through it. I have tried...

    Radiation problem: Make "Ambient Temp" dependent on current solution

    Hi guys, I'm trying to solve a surface to surface radiation problem where I have a part with a constant emissivity, and I'm trying to find its temperature once it is at equilibrium with its enclosure. It is assumed perfectly isolated from conduction, and in a vacuum, so radiation is its only...

    Apply loads/BC's on sketched areas instead of faces/points/edges/bodie

    I'm trying to figure out a way to define a load or boundary condition on an area of a body or face. In Ansys Workbench/Mechanical it seems that you can only select an entire face, but I frequently have to define a load or BC on a select area of a face. Is there a way to do this? As a...

    Coordinate Systems on Workbench (Mechanical)

    Is there no way to define a coordinate system without having it defined by the global axes, or a part of the model geometry? I'm trying to model gravity at 45 degrees to the global coordinate system, and I have no model geometry that will express this. On other parts if you choose to define...

    List node results and coordinates

    Hi everyone, I began using ANSYS Workbench 12.1 recently, moving from ADINA. My question is in regard to post processing data. I have a part that flexes under a vacuum to create a bowl shape. I need to find the curve that represents the deflection at its center cross section. I assume I...
