• In this chapter, we will describe the specifics of a structural analysis.
• The purpose is two-fold:– To reiterate the typical analysis steps that were introduced in Chapter 4.– To introduce you to structural loads and boundary conditions

• Can either be created within ANSYS or imported.
• Include details to improve results:– Goal is to sufficiently model the stiffness of the structure– Add details to avoid stress singularities (e.g. fillets)– Exclude details not in region of interest (e.g. exclude small holes)– Add details to improve boundary conditions (e.g. apply pressure to an
area rather than using concentrated load)

Displacement Constraints
• Used to specify where the model is fixed (zero displacement locations).
• Can also be non-zero, to simulate a known deflection.
• To apply displacement constraints :– Solution > -Loads- Apply > Displacement
• Choose where you want to apply the constraint.
• Pick the desired entities in the graphics window.
• Then choose the constraint direction. Value defaults to zero.
– Or use the D family of commands: DK, DL, DA, D.
• Question: In which coordinate system are UX, UY, and UZ interpreted?

• To apply a pressure:– Solution > -Loads- Apply > Pressure
• Choose where you want to apply the pressure -- usually on lines for 2-D models, on areas for 3-D models.
• Pick the desired entities in the graphics window.
• Then enter the pressure value. A positive value indicates a compressive pressure (acting towards the centroid of the element).
– Or use the SF family of commands: SFL, SFA, SFE, SF.

• For a 2-D model, where pressures are usually applied on a line, you can specify a tapered pressure by entering a value for both the I and J ends of the line.
• I and J are determined by the line direction. If you see the taper going in the wrong direction, simply reapply the pressure with the values reversed.

• To apply gravitational acceleration:– Solution > -Loads- Apply > Gravity– Or use the ACEL command.
• Notes:– A positive acceleration value causes deflection in the negative
direction. If Y is pointing upwards, for example, a positive ACELY value will cause the structure to move downwards.
– Density (or mass in some form) must be defined for gravity and other inertia loads.

Static vs. Dynamic Analysis
• A static analysis assumes that only the stiffness forces are significant.
• A dynamic analysis takes into account all three types of forces.
• For example, consider the analysis of a diving board.– If the diver is standing still, it might be sufficient to do a
static analysis.– But if the diver is jumping up and down, you will need
to do a dynamic analysis.

• Inertia and damping forces are usually significant if the applied loads vary rapidly with time.
• Therefore you can use time-dependency of loads as a way to choose between static and dynamic analysis.
– If the loading is constant over a relatively long period of time, choose a static analysis.
– Otherwise, choose a dynamic analysis.
• In general, if the excitation frequency is less than 1/3 of the structure’s lowest natural frequency, a static analysis may be acceptable.

Linear vs. Nonlinear Analysis
• A linear analysis assumes that the loading causes negligible changes to the stiffness of the structure. Typical characteristics are:
– Small deflections– Strains and stresses within the elastic limit– No abrupt changes in stiffness such as two bodies coming into and
out of contact
Strain
Stress
Elastic modulus(EX)

Stresses
• The following stresses are typically available for a 3-D solid model:
– Component stresses — SX, SY, SZ, SXY, SYZ, SXZ (global Cartesian directions by default)
– Principal stresses — S1, S2, S3, SEQV (von Mises), SINT (stress intensity)
• Best viewed as contour plots, which allow you to quickly locate “hot spots” or trouble regions.
– Nodal solution: Stresses are averaged at the nodes, showing smooth, continuous contours.
– Element solution: No averaging, resulting in discontinuous contours.

• It is the default graphics setting (/GRAPH,POWER).
• Plots only the visible surfaces and ignores everything “underneath.”
• Advantages:– Faster REPLOT, crisp graphics.– Smooth, almost photo-realistic displays.– Prevents stress averaging across material and real
constant boundaries.
• To deactivate PowerGraphics (or activate “full graphics”):
– Toolbar > POWERGRPH– Or issue /GRAPH,FULL

• It is always a good idea to do a “sanity check” and make sure that the solution is acceptable.
• What you need to check depends on the type of problem you are solving, but here are some typical questions to ask:
• Do FEA results agree hand calculations or experimental data.
• Is the displacement solution correct? Check the FEA displacement solution first since FEA stresses are second order results.
• Do the reaction forces balance the applied loads?
• Where is the maximum stress located?– If it is at a singularity, such as a point load or a re-entrant corner, the value is
generally meaningless. (We will discuss more about this in Chapter 5.)
• Are the stress values beyond the elastic limit?– If so, the load magnitudes may be wrong, or you may need to do a nonlinear
analysis.

• Is the mesh adequate?– This is always debatable, but you can gain confidence in the mesh by
using error estimation data (discussed in Chapter 14).– Other ways to check mesh adequacy:
• Plot the element solution (unaveraged stresses) and look for elements with high stress gradients. These regions are candidates for mesh refinement.
• If there is a significant difference between the nodal (averaged) and element (unaveraged) stress contours, the mesh may be too coarse.
• Similarly, if there is a significant difference between PowerGraphics and full graphics stresses, the mesh may be too coarse.
• Re-mesh with twice as many elements, re-solve, and compare the results. (But this may not always be practical.)
