Hi;

I am looking for a way to model a reinforced beam by ANSYS.

Is it possible to model the bars and the concrete part seperately and then glue them together.

What is the routine way to do this?

Is there any tutorial available?

Thanks;

Hi, I finished my PhD and I am looking for a summer school or a language school in English. And also I want to improve my Meshfree knowledge and programming knowledge. My education is funded by government ( or my university). How can I find a school or university? And what is the procedure for acceptance? 

Dear all,

Can anybody give me some papers on the grain size T3 2024?

I know it should be 10-100 μm or so. But I want to get a more precise data and cite it in my journal paper.

All suggestion or papers are welcome. Thanks.

Dear all,

 Sry for posting this topic again. However, i've meet problems when simulating powder compaction. The following parameters is what i have i used

Elastic : Young modulus 40

            Poisson Ratio    0.35

Plasitc : Drucker Prager    angle of friction 33

here is a simple question

I have modeled the reduced section of a  tensile test specimen in 3D (a simple cylinder; falt surface in x-y plane, length in z direction).  I applied a load on one flat surface of the cylinder, and put the opposite flat surface as a symmetry plane. 

When I plot the result after the simulation of a tensile test, the cylinder moved in the direction perpendicular to the application of the load.  I was expecting it only to increase in length in the z direction.

I used for the first time the CINT command with ansys, and I get strange results:

negative values

very different values for 2 adjacent nodes on the crack front

non converging values (values fluctuating from 1 contour to another, going up and down)

Also, i don't know what are the units of the J integral (I am using SI units, dimensions in mm ).  It's important to know so I can calculate the SIF

How can I know what contour gives the best result? what are the units of the Jintegral in the SI.

Anybody have some information for me?

I was going through these papers:

1.P.K. Sarkar and S.K. Maiti, 'Prediction of mode-1 fracture toughness of unidirectional fibre composites with arbitrary crack fibre orientation from its lowest or matrix fracture toughness'. int. J. Fracture, vol. 40. pp. R91-R96, (1989).

2.S.K. Maiti and P.K. Sarkar, 'A method of calculation of total strain energy release rate and its layer-wise distribution for an arbitrary through the thickness crack extension in a composite laminate', Engg. Fracture Mechanics, vol. 36, pp. 639-646,(1990).

i am using Deform 3D for my analysis but wats the problem in this software i cant input the material properties,flow stress of the material so the validation with theoritical becomes difficult so if anybody doe know about this how to input the matl pproperties and force of the press please help me

Dear all,

I want to do a run- up analysis for a rotor in ansys. The rotational speed change from 0 to 5000 rpm

In ansys help is explained:

nlgeom,on !! so that the gyroscopic matrix is updated

But because my model has Combin214 element, the nlgeom make error and solve dont run.

when I remove combin214, I dont get error.

I changed combin214 with matrix 27 but same problem.

In an example in ansys is used combin14. but my model is 2-D axisymmetric analysis and I think combin14 in not good element for modeling bearings.
