Simple ANSYS Problem

Submitted by cm005429 on Thu, 01/22/2009 - 15:34

Hello,

I have a simple problem but I am having a mental block concerning combining three different materials with different poisson's ratio and modulus. The problem is a plate with a hole and I can generate a mesh and apply load but I can not seem to create three materials and combine them together. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is what my input file looks like:

FSI

Hi,

I am doing a Fluid structure interaction problem related to Gas turbine burner. Can any one tell me if FSI is possible in ANsys Mechanical?. Or its just possible with ANsys CFX or any other version. If its possible with all of them, then whihc is better one for this application.

Thanking you,

Abhijit

How can i prove that the thermal resistance in a sphere ( Biot number >> 1 ) mainly determans the speed of the heat transfer. Hope somebody can help me with this problem

Need help in executing ANSYS subroutine userpr

Submitted by samueltcw on Wed, 01/21/2009 - 03:33

Dear all

I need help in executing ANSYS user programmable feature (UPF), specifically subroutine userpr (changing element pressure information) for my 2D model. I have read the manual but don't understand the subroutine program structure (attached below). Can someone kindly explain how can I activate and run the subroutine?

Thanks,

Samuel
