Toolbox Analysis Systems

We have already predefined systems:

Toolbox Component Systems

We have the individual componentsof the systems:



9/29

Toolbox Custom Systems

We have predefined some systems with some interactionsbetween them. It is also possible to

define new custom-systems.

Project SchematicIt is possible to solvedifferent problemswith shared data.

It is also possible touse results from one

problem as inputdata to another one(i.e. fluid-structureinteraction)



11/29

Static Structural SystemWe will work with the Static Structural system.It is composed by:

Engineering data:Definition of material properties

Geometry:Def. of the problem geometry

Model:Def. of the mesh

Setup:

Def. of the boundary conditionsResults:

Contains the different results requied to the solver.

Static Structural System

Defined in a new workbenchwindow


Solved with Design Modeler

Solved with Mechanical module

Static Structural SystemSystem properly defined andhas no errors


System already defined butthat has to be updatedbecause there has beenmodifications in upper levels

The system is yet to bedefined

Engineering Data - Exercise


Create a custom material for Aluminum Alloy type 5052-O.

The parameters that have to be defined are those of:

Density Thermal expansion Isotropic elasticity Yield and ultimate strength (defined as multilinear isotropic

hardening) Yield and ultimate strength as failure variables to be used in an

elastic material.The numerical value of each parameter can be obtained fromhttp://www.makeitfrom.com/

Design Modeler New Geometry


If instead of importing the geometry from another code or fromanother problem defined in the same workbench we decide to create anew geometry, clicking on NEW GEOMETRY will launch the desingmodeler.

Design Modeler Parts


There are four different types of parts. Each one can be used in a typeof simulation: BARS, 2D, 3D and SHELLS.

Design Modeler More info.


More information about how to work with design modeler can befound in the Ansys Training Lectures:

DM-13.0 01 Planes and Sketches.pdf DM-13.0 02 3D Operations.pdf

Design Modeler Exercises


1. Import geometry Cylinder_Surface.igs to design modeler2. Create structural frame defined in Assignment 01.

1. Defining points manually2. Using point data Frame Nodes.txt

In this second case, the roof beams have a cross section: 5 x 10 x 0.1 cm
