Modeling considerations

• As you begin your model generation, you will (consciously orunconsciously) make a number of decisions that determine how youwill mathematically simulate the physical system: – What are the objectives of your analysis?

 – Will you need to vary/modify model data?

 – Will you need to change the geometric topology of the model, e.g. addholes to the model?

 – Will you model all, or just a portion, of the physical system? – How much detail will you include in your model?

 – What kinds of elements will you use? How dense should your finiteelement mesh be?

• In general, you will attempt to balance computational expense (CPUtime, etc.) against precision of results as you answer thesequestions.

• The decisions you make in the planning stage of your analysis willlargely govern the success or failure of your analysis efforts.

Modeling considerations

• Linear or Higher Order Elements

• Take Advantage of Symmetry

 – The axis of symmetry must coincide with the global Cartesian Y-axis. – Negative nodal X-coordinates are not permitted.

 – The global Cartesian Y-direction represents the axial direction, theglobal Cartesian X-direction represents the radial direction, and theglobal Cartesian Z-direction corresponds to the circumferential direction.

 – Your model should be assembled using appropriate element types:• For axisymmetric models, use applicable 2-D solids with KEYOPT(3) = 1,

and/or axisymmetric shells. In addition, various link, contact, combination,and surface elements can be included in a model that also containsaxisymmetric solids or shells. (The program will not realize that these "other"elements are axisymmetric unless axisymmetric solids or shells are present.)

• How Much Detail to Include

• Appropriate Mesh Density

Modeling considerations

• The ANSYS program does not assume a

system of units for your analysis.• Units must however be consistent for all

input data.

Geometry/Modelling

• Creating a solid model within ANSYS.

• Using direct generation.• Importing a model created in a computer-

aided design (CAD) system.

Coordinate systems

•   Global and local coordinate systems are used to locate geometryitems (nodes, keypoints, etc.) in space.

• The display coordinate system determines the system in whichgeometry items are listed or displayed.

• The nodal coordinate system defines the degree of freedomdirections at each node and the orientation of nodal results data.

• The element coordinate system determines the orientation of

material properties and element results data.• The results coordinate system is used to transform nodal or element

results data to a particular coordinate system for listings, displays, orgeneral postprocessing operations (POST1).

• The working plane, which is separate from the coordinate systemsdiscussed in this chapter, is used to locate geometric primitivesduring the modeling process.

Modeling considerations

• Run through example240 and example241

• What element type should be selected forthe grinding shield example?

• Mesh method? • Model storage *.*.lgwlgw or *.db?

• Element type?

• Level of detail?

• Mesh method?• Allow model modifications?

• Type of analysis to perform?

• Material models?

• Boundary condit ions and loads?
