Tutorial - Solving 2D Truss problem using Mechanical APDL (ANSYS)?

2 2 Beginner
In general, a finite element solution may be broken into the following three stages. 1. Preprocessing: defining the problem; - Define keypoints/lines/areas/volumes - Define element type and material/geometric properties - Mesh lines/areas/volumes as required 2. Solution: assigning loads, constraints and solving; 3. Postprocessing: - Lists of nodal displacements - Element forces and moments - Deflection plots - Stress contour diagrams We will go through these and solve the problem. I will suggest you to go through this tutorial before solving this problem. http://grabcad.com/questions/tutorial-2d-truss-analysis-in-mechanical-apdl-ansys-part-1

I think that there is a simple solution which you can try. just Un - tick the " Merge result" box and, retry your thickening procedure. Best regards

Flow Around a Circular Disc in SOLIDWORKS | Flow Simulation| External Flow |Cylinder Flow Simulation

In this tutorial, we'll learn basic flow simulation in SOLIDWORKS 2020. First of all, we'll model a circular disc and then we'll do a basic simulation. The goal is to find out Drag Force and Drag Coefficient. Parameters for the study are as follows : 1) Cylinder Diameter=0.02m 2) Cylinder Length=0.03m 3) Dynamic Viscosity=0.0000181 Pa.s 4) Working Medium=Air 5) Reynolds Number=10 6) Velocity=0.0007 m/s 7) Density=1.23 kg/m3 8) Temperature=293.2 K 9) Pressure=101.325 kPa We will establish drag coefficient equation. We perform simulation, then we will plot results along with graphs and MS word report. It is a good exercise for beginners and it will be a good practice for beginners. Kindly use play pause technique for practice. I have attached files in the description for practice. Feel free to ask your queries in comment section. I will try to answer each and every question. Keep practicing as practice makes a man perfect. For Files: https://grabcad.com/library/solidworks-flow-simulaion-1 #solidworksflo
