A Presentation on Static Analysis

Using Ansys

Types of analysis

Static

Dynamic

Harmonic

Fatigue Electromagnetic

Seismic

Static analysis can be

done in two methods

like

(i) GUI (Graphic User

Interface) method and

(ii) APDL (Ansys

parametric design

language) method.

Continued. In GUI, the icons are used to create and

analyse the model in ANSYS. By clicking the icons in the screen using the

input devices ,the model is generated.

In APDL, the code is generated to create and

analyse the model.

Different materials are in the material library

Finite Elements in Ansys

Ansys is a tool which can also be used for

Finite element analysis. The model or domain can be discretised

using known elements.

The elements are made up of nodes.

The material properties also can be assigned

to the materials manually.

The volume or area is meshed then.

The density of the mesh also can be defined. The boundary conditions are fixed and the

loads are also applied.

Structural Loads are of different types.

(i) Force load (ii) Pressure load

(iii) Temperature and

(iv) inertia

Finishing the solution task and solve theproblem.

Post processing

The nodal solutions and element solutions interms of stress, strain and displacements can

be seen in pictorial view as well as numbers. Using Pr and Pl commands the outputs can

be seen.

Completing the analysis and quit the Ansys

with or without saving your database fileusing quit command.

From this stress values and strain values ,

the fatigue value also can be calculated in

the next steps. Optimization also can be done over the

model using optimization task.
