Micro Analysis of Composites in ansys

Submitted by Ravikumar. G on

 Hi everybody, i am Ravikumar doing M. Tech. project on multi scale analysis of composites.

I gave the input as nodal displacements and different material properties for glass and resin. I applied all the normal stresses and shear stresses on the micro scale model which is of hexagonal array  structure. (i.e., one circular fiber at the centre and quarter fibers at the four corners of the model and the remaining portion is filled up by resin).

Teaching Engineering Thermodynamics to Undergraduate Students

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

I have just volunteered to teach engineering thermodynamics to undergraduates in the Fall semester of 2011.  The students will be from all fields of engineering, primarily mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, and bioengineering.  I have never taught this course before, and would love to hear from you about your experience, either as a student or as a teacher. 

Here is what I have found from the website about the course.

How to simulate torsion of cylinder in ANSYS?

Submitted by sspadhee on

I want to model torsion of a homogeneous hollow cylinder in ANSYS. I changed to cylindric coordinate system also. But each time I run the program  the result is that of bending. I have attached the mac file and output file for reference. Please advise.

Does anyone know how to keep a record of what you have done in a CAE session?

Submitted by Echeban on
In Abaqus/CAE, I get .cae file, but I want to teach someone else what I have done, step by step.
ANSYS keeps a log file that mimics exactly what you do in the ANSYS GUI, which is similar to CAE. 
How can I get CAE to write a log file with the steps that I did in the CAE session?

Requesting help on ALE and corpuscular method in simulating airbag in LS-DYNA

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Dear all,

 I am currently doing my undergraduate final year project on gas flow dynamics of airbag. I am using LS-Dyna to simulate 3 different gas flow condition (uniform pressure, ALE and corpuscular).

I am able to obtain a simple model of airbag from LS-Prepost website. I am modifying it to learn more on ALE and corpuscular.

For ALE method,
