Online Help for ANSYS Dialog Boxes

Pan, Zoom, Rotate

ANSYS Function Manipulates the view by panning, zooming, and rotating the model.

Active Window(s) Identifies the window or windows that are active with this dialog box.

Any of five windows (if defined) can be the active window, or all windows

may be active at once. All Pan-Zoom-Rotate operations that are initiated

with this dialog box will be done in the active window(s).

Viewing Direction Establishes the direction from which the model is viewed. You will be

looking at the model from one of the chosen directions back to the focus

point, which is normally the centroid of the model.

• Top: The view of the top of the model; the +Y direction.

• Bot: The view of the bottom of the model.

• Left: The view of the left of the model.

23Release 15.0 - © SAS IP, Inc. All rights reserved. - Contains proprietary and confidential information

• Front: The view of the front of the model; the +Z direction.

• Back: The view of the back of the model.

• Right: The view of the right of the mode; the +X direction.

• Iso: The view of the top right of the model (x = 1,y = 1,z = 1).

• Obliq: Another view of the top right of the model, but from a slightly

different angle (x = 1, y = 2, z = 3).

• WP: The view of the model from the working plane

Zooming Options Chooses the method of zooming.

• Zoom: Prompts you to pick the center and then the edge of your

square window. The portion of the model that fits within this zoom

window will then be redisplayed.

• Box Zoom: Prompts you to pick two outside corners of your zoom

window, rather than the center and outside edge as you would with

Zoom.

• Win Zoom: Prompts you to pick the first corner of your new window,

and then the edge. With this option, the new window automatically

scales to reflect the aspect ratio of the widow that you are working in.

For instance, if your window 1 is rectangular, Win Zoom produces a

rectangular zoom window of the same aspect ratio.

Pan/Zoom Buttons Picking the arrow buttons pans the model up or down, left or right.

Picking the dot buttons zooms straight in or out on the model.

• Arrow Buttons: Use them to pan (change the focus point); indicate

which way you want to move the model in the window, not which

way you want to move the window itself. Think of the window as being

stationary, and the model as being movable in the directions indicated

by the arrow buttons. The rate slider located below the rotate buttons

controls how far the model moves each time you pick an arrow key.

• Dot Buttons: Use them to zoom straight in or out on the model. The

small dot signifies that the image of the model will become smaller,

or that you will be zooming out. Likewise, the large dot indicates that

the image of the model will become larger, or that you will be zooming

in. The rate slider located below the rotate buttons controls the amount

of change in model size from zooming in or out.

Rotate Buttons The rate slider rotates the model about the X-Y-Z screen coordinates.

Your screen coordinate axis origin is centered in each defined window.

The positive X-axis starts at the center of your window and extends to

the right. The positive Y-axis also starts at the center but extends straight

up. The positive Z-axis starts at the center and extends out of the screen

straight at you. Your model will rotate about these axes in the directions

shown on the buttons. The rate slider that is below the rotate buttons

controls the amount of rotation.

Rate Control Determines the amount of pan, zoom, or rotate that is initiated with the

arrow, dot and rotate buttons above. The rate can vary from 1 to 100. A

rate of 1 means that each time you pick one of the buttons, the model

will pan, zoom or rotate a relatively small amount. For instance, a rate

of 1 corresponds to a 1 degree rotation about a screen axis each time

you pick one of the rotation buttons.

Dynamic Mode Pressing this button activates dynamic model/lighting manipulation

modes. If you are running on a 2-D graphics device (such as /SHOW,X11),

you can use your mouse pointer to pan, zoom, or rotate the model. On

a 2-D device, you will automatically be put into model manipulation

mode after pressing this button (see I. Model, below). On a 3-D device

(such as /SHOW,3D), you can choose between manipulating the model

or the lighting by using the buttons below the Dynamic button.

Dynamic Mode: Model If you want to pan, zoom or rotate your model dynamically, press this

button (This is the default dynamic mode if you are using a 2-D device).

Then, when you press and hold down any of your mouse buttons while

the pointer is in the active window, a rubberbanding box will show up

around your model. If you press the left mouse button, you can use the

rubberbanding box to pan, or move your model to where you would like

it to be in your active window. The right button lets you rotate the

model about the screen X and Y axes by moving the mouse pointer. The

center mouse button (shift-right button on a two-button mouse) has two

functions: with it, you can rotate your model about the screen Z axis by

moving the pointer right and left, and you can zoom in and out on your

model by moving the pointer up and down.

Dynamic Mode: Lighting This option is available to you only if you are using a 3-D graphics device.

If you are using a 3-D device, you can use this option to control the light

source location, intensity, and the reflectance of your model. The mouse

buttons function as follows:

• Left: Move in X-direction to increase or decrease the reflectance (or

shininess) of your model. Move in the Y-direction to change the intens-

ity of the directional lights (there are two directional lights, one in

front and one behind your model).

• Middle: Move in the X-direction to rotate the directional lights about

the screen Z-axis. Move in the Y-direction to change the intensity of

the ambient light.

Note

Using a two-button mouse, shift-right to execute the

middle button features.

Pan, Zoom, Rotate

Page 32: Ansys mechanical apdl context sensitive help

• Right: Move in the X-direction to rotate the directional lights about

the screen Y-axis. Move in the Y-direction to rotate the lights about

the screen X-axis.

Action Buttons Fit: Automatically adjusts that amount of zoom in the active window

so that your entire model can be seen within the window. This is a

useful key to use after you have zoomed in a number of times to ex-

amine a portion of your model and now want to view the entire

model.

• Reset: Removes any pan, zoom, or rotate specifications in the active

window. Your model will be displayed in its default orientation and

sized to fit within the active widow.

Edit Toolbar/Abbreviations

List Lists currently defined abbreviations. Pick an abbreviation in this area to

select it (it will appear in the Selection edit box). You can edit or delete

the selected abbreviation.

Selection This area serves two purposes:

• To specify an abbreviation using the *ABBR command format, type

the abbreviation in the box and choose Accept to define it.

• To edit or delete a selected abbreviation (picked from the list area),

modify the abbreviation and choose Accept to change it.

The format to define an abbreviation is *ABBR, Abbr, String,

where Abbr is the abbreviation (up to 8 characters) representing

the string String. The string can be a command, a macro name

(an "unknown command" macro), or a GUI function name (which

calls a dialog box).

Hard Copy

ANSYS Function The PS in the title of this dialog box indicates that you will be using the

PostScript format for graphics that are written to a file or that are sent

directly to a printer. Both of these options are called "hard copies."

Extents With these radio buttons, you can choose to print the entire screen, or

only the portion within the ANSYS Graphics Window. Printing the full

screen sends all visible screen items to the printer, even if the graphics

are not related to ANSYS. When you print the graphics window, all items

within the window are sent to the printer. This feature allows the dis-

played ANSYS graphics to be printed in conjunction with other displays,

including the ANSYS command output window or material propery data

listings. Even non-ANSYS windows, such as a Windows notepad annota-

tion can be included. If only the ANSYS graphics display is desired, be

sure to move other windows or utility boxes (such as the Pan, Zoom,

Rotate, or Meshtool dialogues) out of the way.

Plot Type Specifies the graphics type for your printer. Most laser printers are de-

signed to print black and white (monochrome) or gray scale graphics.

You can print color graphics on many thermal-wax type plotters.

• EPS with TIFF Preview: Encapsulated PostScript with TIFF preview

(should not be spooled to printer. Use only for inserting graphics inside

a publishing package.)

• JPEG: Creates a .jpg file

• PNG: Creates a .png file

TIFF Compression Toggle Compresses TIFF files and EPS files with TIFF preview (Default=ON). Turn

off when using Word Perfect.

Black/White Toggle Switches black to white, and white to black on hard copies. By default,

the Reverse Video option is on, which means that what you see in white

on your screen is printed in black on your hard copy.

Orientation Specifies how your graphics are oriented on hard copies. The default

orientation is Landscape, which means that the width dimension of the

graphics on your screen corresponds to the height dimension of your

printed page. For instance, if your printed page measures 8 1/2"x11", the

width dimension of the graphics on your screen corresponds to the 11"

height dimension of your page.

Print Command Press this button to send the graphics directly to a printer. Then, in the

corresponding text entry box, fill out the rest of the system level print

command (for example, lpr on UNIX) that you use to send PostScript

graphics files to PostScript printers.

File Command Press this button if you want to write your graphics to a PostScript file.

By default, your graphics are written to a file with the name shown in

the text entry box. You can change the file name to something that more

closely describes your project, but you should keep the default extension

in order to retain the automatic indexing of the extension name. For in-

stance, if you name your first file Shuttle.p01 , and then pick OK or

Apply, the name in the text entry box for the next file to be produced

will automatically be indexed to read Shuttle.p02 .

Note

Open GL (3D) devices require that the Graphics Window contents be brought to the top to

generate plots of partially obstructed window contents. See the /UIS command for more

information on this behavior and how it affects other graphics operations.

Capture Image Feature

The Capture Image feature lets you view multiple displays of your ANSYS model or results quickly and

simultaneously. The feature works by capturing and restoring copies of the Graphics Window.

To capture a copy of the Graphics Window, choose PlotCtrls> Capture Image on the Utility Menu.

The copy is actually a window that you can iconify and that will be the same size as the Graphics Window.

(You may want to shrink the Graphics Window before capturing if you will later be comparing several

images at one time on the screen.) Copies will automatically be named Image1 , Image2 , Image3 ,

etc., numbered sequentially within an ANSYS session. The number of captured images displayed at one

time cannot exceed 20 and is also limited by the amount of memory.

After the image is captured, you can save it to a file (on the copied window, choose File> Save as). On

X11 systems, the file is a coded image file. Use the extension .img when naming the file. On Windows

systems, the file is a Windows bitmap file. Use the extension .BMP for the file name.

Saved image files can be restored during any ANSYS session (choose PlotCtrls> Restore Image on the

Utility Menu).

To print the captured image directly from within ANSYS, choose File> Print on the copied window.

This method of printing produces a hard copy similar in resolution quality to a typical screen dump.

Capture Image: Print

ANSYS Function Prints a hard copy of a captured image. You can write the image to a

graphics file or send it directly to the printer. (Both of these options are

called "hard copies.") This method of printing produces a hard copy

similar in resolution quality to a typical screen dump.

Plot Type Specifies the graphics type for your printer. Most laser printers are de-

signed to print black and white (monochrome) or gray scale graphics.

Color graphics can be printed on many thermal-wax type plotters.

File Type Postscript: Creates PostScript file•

• TIFF: Creates TIFF file (should not be spooled to a printer)

• EPS with TIFF Preview: Encapsulated PostScript with TIFF preview

(should not be spooled to printer). Use only for inserting graphics inside

a publishing package.

• JPEG: Creates a .jpg file

• PNG: Creates a .png file

TIFF Compression Toggle Compresses TIFF files and EPS files with TIFF preview (Default = ON). Turn

off when using WordPerfect.

Black/White Toggle Switches the color black to the color white on hard copies. By default,

Reverse Video is on, which means that what you see in white on your

screen will be printed in black on your hard copy.

Orientation Specifies how graphics are oriented on hard copies. The default orienta-

tion is Landscape, which means that the width dimension of the captured

image will correspond to the height dimension of your printed page.

Print Command Press this button if you want your graphics to go directly to a printer.

Then, in the corresponding text entry box, fill out the system level print

command (for instance, lpr in Unix) that you use to send PostScript format

files to PostScript printers.

File Command Writes the captured image to a PostScript file. By default, the image will

be written to a file with the name shown in the corresponding text entry

box. You can change the file name into something meaningful for your

project but you should keep the default extension in order to retain the

automatic indexing of the extension name. For instance, if you name the

first file shuttle.p01 and then pick OK, the name in the text entry

box for the next file to be produced will automatically be indexed to

read shuttle.p02 .

Results Query Picker

ANSYS Function Identifies the information being queried; either nodal, element, or subgrid

solution data (in this example, element solution data).

Pick Mode Allows you to pick or unpick a location on the model to be queried. You

can use either these toggle buttons or the right mouse button to switch

between pick and unpick modes. The mouse pointer is shown as an up

arrow for picking and a down arrow for unpicking.

Picked Location Shows the number and location (in global Cartesian coordinates) of the

node, element (coordinates are of the element centroid), or subgrid point

being picked for query. You can preview this information by pressing

and dragging the mouse in the graphics area. The picked location is

highlighted on the model as a square on the displaced shape. The nodal

location or element centroid locations are shown in undeformed or de-

formed locations based on the type of display that has been performed.

For undeformed displays (i.e., NPLOT, EPLOT, etc.), the coordinate loca-

tions will be in undeformed global Cartesian coordinates. For deformed

displays (i.e., PLDISP, PLNSOL, PLESOL, etc.), the coordinate locations

will be in deformed global Cartesian coordinates, subject to command

/DSCALE settings.

Queried Data Shows the queried solution data for the node, element, or subgrid point

at the picked location. Use the Max or Min buttons to automatically

obtain the maximum or minimum value of the query data for the viewable

portion of the model.

Generate 3D Annotation Applies the queried information to the model as 3D annotation.

replotting) and closes the query picking menu.

• Apply: Clears all query data (restores the graphics display without

replotting) and redisplays the Query Solution Data (either Nodal, Ele-

ment, or Subgrid) dialog box. You can either use this button on the

picking menu, or, stay in the graphics area and click the middle mouse

button to achieve the same effect.

• Max: Shows the maximum value of the query data for the viewable

portion of the model.

Hints on Using the Query Picking Menu

• Query picking is most effective when used in vector mode (for example, with wireframe displays) because

you can read the queried data easily right on top of the model in the Graphics Window. Vector mode is

accessed under PlotCtrls> Device Options (or /DEVICE command).

• Press and drag the left mouse button around on the model for an easy way to see the queried data for

many different points without creating excessive clutter on the screen.

• Use the Reset button often to clear the screen of queried data and get a "clean" model on which to

continue querying.

• The Min and Max buttons are useful for quickly identifying the location and value of the minimum and

maximum query data.

• The results query picker retrieves data from the database. The operations and functions performed are

not written to the log file.

• In Powergraphics the Results Query Picker will provide information for shell elements that corresponds

to the side of the object you see, not what you specified in the SHELL command.

Solution Controls

General Information About Using the Solution Controls Dialog Box

You can use the Solution Controls dialog box if you are performing a static or full transient analysis.

The Solution Controls dialog box consists of five tabbed “pages,” each of which contains a set of related

solution controls. The tabs, in order from left to right, include:

• Basic

• Transient

• Sol'n Options

• Nonlinear

• Advanced NL

Each set of controls is logically grouped on a tab; the most basic controls appear on the first tab, with

each subsequent tab providing more advanced controls. The Transient tab contains transient analysis

controls; it is available only when you choose a transient analysis and remains grayed out when you

choose a static analysis.

Once you are satisfied with the settings on the Basic tab, you do not need to progress through the

remaining tabs unless you want to change some of the advanced controls. As soon as you click OK on

any tab of the dialog box, the settings are applied to the ANSYS database and the dialog box closes.

Note

Whether you make changes to only one or to multiple tabbed pages, your changes are applied

to the ANSYS database only when you click OK to close the dialog box.

Analysis Options [ANTYPE, NLGEOM]--Specifies the type of analysis that you want to

perform. (The “large deformation effects” referred to below include large

deflection, large rotation, and/or large strain, depending on the element

type being used.) You can choose one of these options:

• Small Displacement Static: Performs a linear static analysis (that is, a

static analysis in which large deformation effects are ignored).

• Large Displacement Static: Performs a nonlinear static analysis (that

is, a static analysis in which large deformation effects are included).

• Small Displacement Transient: Performs a linear full transient analysis

(that is, a full transient analysis in which large deformation effects are

ignored).

• Large Displacement Transient: Performs a nonlinear full transient

analysis (that is, a full transient analysis in which large deformation

effects are included).

• Restart Current Analysis: Restarts the current analysis.

Click the Automatic time stepping [AUTOTS] drop down list box

to turn automatic time stepping on, off, or have ANSYS automatically

switch it on and off between substeps of a load step as needed.

Determine how you want to control the number of substeps that

are taken within a load step. You can choose either Number of

substeps or Time increment:

• Number of substeps [NSUBST]: Indicates that you want to specify a

specific number of substeps to be taken within this load step. If you

choose this option, you can use the Number of substeps, Max no. of

substeps, and Min no. of substeps entry boxes to specify starting

values and limits for substeps. How these limits are interpreted by

ANSYS depends on what option you selected in the Automatic time

stepping drop down list box:

– Number of substeps: If automatic time stepping is turned off, spe-

cifies the number of substeps to be taken this load step (that is, the

time step size or frequency increment). If automatic time stepping

is turned on, specifies the size of the first substep.

– Max no. of substeps: Specifies the maximum number of substeps

to be taken (that is, the minimum time step size) if automatic time

stepping is turned on.

– Min no. of substeps: Specifies the minimum number of substeps

to be taken (that is, the maximum time step size) if automatic time

stepping is turned on.

• Time increment [DELTIM]: Indicates that you want to specify the time

step size for this load step. If you choose this option, you can use the

Time step size, Minimum time step, and Maximum time step entry

boxes to specify starting values and limits for time steps. How these

limits are interpreted by ANSYS depends on what option you selected

in the Automatic time stepping drop down list box:

– Time step size: If automatic time stepping is turned off, specifies

the time step size for this load step. If automatic time stepping is

turned on, specifies the starting time substep.

– Minimum time step: Specifies the minimum time step size (if

automatic time stepping is turned on).

– Maximum time step: Specifies the maximum time step size (if

automatic time stepping is turned on).

Write Items to Results File [OUTRES]--Specifies the solution data that you want ANSYS to write to

the results file (database). You can choose one of these options:

(POST1) in the Basic Analysis Guide.

Transient Tab

Use the Transient tab to specify the options described below.

Full Transient Options Specifies the transient options that you want to include in the analysis.

You can set one or more of these options:

• Transient effects [TIMINT]: Includes transient effects (for example,

structural inertia).

• Stepped loading/Ramped loading [KBC]: Choose between stepped

loading or ramped loading by clicking the desired button. When

loading is stepped, loads are step changed at the first substep of this

load step to the values of this load step (that is, the same values are

used for all substeps). When loading is ramped, loads are linearly inter-

polated for each substep from the values of the previous load step to

the values of this load step.

Damping Coefficients Specifies various damping options. One form of the viscous damping

matrix [C] is given by α[M] + β[K], where [M] is the mass matrix and [K]

is the stiffness matrix. You can specify values for one or both of the fol-

lowing:

• Mass matrix multiplier (ALPHA) [ALPHAD]: Defines the mass matrix

multiplier, α, for damping.

• Stiffness matrix multiplier (BETA) [BETAD]: Defines the stiffness

matrix multiplier, β, in the damping expression described above.

Midstep Criterion Specifies the midstep residual criterion to be used in the analysis [MIDTOL

command]:

• Midstep Criterion: Activate midstep residual criterion.

• Tol/Ref for Bisection: Midstep residual tolerance (if > 0) or reference

value (if < 0) used for bisection.

• Include Response Frequency: Calculate response frequency and

consider it in the automatic time stepping.

Time Integration Specifies time integration method and parameters.

• Algorithm [TRNOPT]: Choose the Newmark algorithm or the HHT al-

gorithm.

Integration parameters can be set by choosing one of these two

options:

• Amplitude decay [TINTP]: Defines an amplitude decay for the

second order transient integration. If you choose this option, use

the GAMMA entry box to specify the factor.

• Integration parameters: Allows individual input of each integra-

tion parameter. If you choose this option, use the ALPHA and

DELTA entry boxes to specify the Newmark parameters. If the

HHT algorithm was selected, use ALPHAM and ALPHAF to specify

additional HHT parameters.

Sol'n Options Tab

Use the Sol'n Options tab to specify the options described below.

Equation Solvers [EQSLV]--Specifies the type of equation solver that you want to use. You

can choose one of these options:

• Program chosen solver: ANSYS selects a solver for you, based on the

physics of the problem.

• Sparse direct: This direct elimination solver is suited for analyses in

which robustness and solution speed are required (nonlinear analyses),

and for linear analyses in which iterative solvers are slow to converge

(especially for ill-conditioned matrices, such as poorly shaped elements).

Memory use is medium; disk use is high.

• Pre-Condition CG: This iterative solver is suited for analyses in which

solution speed is crucial, such as in linear analyses of large models.

Especially well suited for bulky structures modeled with solid elements.

Memory use is medium; disk use is low. If you choose this option, use

the slider to set the accuracy level for convergence for the solver. The

accuracy level can vary from 1 (fastest setting, fewer number of itera-

tions) to 5 (slowest setting, accurate, more number of iterations).

For detailed information on these solvers, see the Basic Analysis

Guide.

Restart Control [RESCONTROL]--Restarts an analysis from any point. In the Number of

restart files to write entry box, indicate the maximum number of restart

files that you want ANSYS to write for a load step.

Click the Frequency drop down list box and choose how frequently

you want restart files to be written to the ANSYS database. You can

choose one of these options: Write every substep, Do not write

any files, Write last substep only, Write every Nth substep, or

Write N number of substeps.

Guide.

Nonlinear Tab

Use the Nonlinear tab to specify the options described below.

Nonlinear Options Controls several nonlinear options and how they are used in the analysis.

You can set one or both of these options:

• Line search [LNSRCH]: Activates a line search to be used with the

Newton-Raphson method. Line search is an alternative to adaptive

descent. You can turn line search on or off, or have ANSYS automatically

switch line searching on and off between substeps of a load step as

needed. This setting, which is recommended, can be very efficient for

analyses in which a line search is needed only at certain substeps.

• DOF solution predictor [PRED]: Activates a predictor on the degree

of freedom solution. You can turn the predictor on for all substeps of

a load step except the first substep, on for all substeps including the

first substep, off for all substeps, or have ANSYS automatically switch

a predictor on and off between substeps of a load step as needed.

Equilibrium Iterations [NEQIT]--In the Maximum number of iterations entry box, specify the

maximum number of equilibrium iterations that you want to allow per

substep.

Creep Option [RATE]--Specifies whether the effect of creep strain rate will be used in

the solution of a load step. You can turn creep calculation on or off. The

default is off. This option must be on to perform an implicit creep analysis.

RATE works only when performing an implicit creep analysis with the

following elements: LINK180, SHELL181, PLANE182, PLANE183, SOLID185,

53Release 15.0 - © SAS IP, Inc. All rights reserved. - Contains proprietary and confidential information

SOLID186, SOLID187, SOLSH190, BEAM188, BEAM189, SHELL208, and

SHELL209.

Set convergence criteria [CNVTOL]--Sets convergence values for the analysis. Click the Set con-

vergence criteria button to access the Nonlinear Convergence Criteria

dialog box. The dialog box contains a Help button that you can click for

more information.

Cutback Control [CUTCONTROL]--Provides control over bisections, or cutbacks, in substep

size. Under Limits on physical values to perform bisection, specify

limits for cutbacks. When any of these limits is exceeded, a cutback occurs.

You can specify values for one or more of these limits:

• Plastic strain ratio: A cutback occurs if the equivalent plastic strain

within a substep exceeds this limit.

• Explicit creep ratio: A cutback occurs if the equivalent explicit creep

ratio within a substep exceeds this limit.

• Implicit creep ratio: A cutback occurs if the equivalent implicit creep

ratio within a substep exceeds this limit.

• Incremental displacement: A cutback occurs if the incremental dis-

placement within the solution field in a substep exceeds this limit.

• Points per cycle: A cutback occurs if the number of solution points

per cycle exceeds this limit.

You can also choose one of these options:

• Cutback according to predicted number of iterations: ANSYS uses

an internal auto time step scheme to predict the number of iterations

for nonlinear convergence and performs a cutback before reaching

the number of iterations specified in the Maximum number of itera-

tions entry box (described above). This is the recommended setting.

• Always iterate to n equilibrium iterations: A nonconvergent solution

iterates to the number of iterations specified in the Maximum number

of iterations entry box (described above) before ANSYS invokes a

cutback.

Advanced NL Tab

Use the Advanced NL tab to specify the options described below.

Termination Criteria [NCNV]--Determines what happens if the analysis fails to converge or

specified limits are met. Click the Program behavior upon nonconver-

gence drop down list box and choose one of these options: Do not

terminate analysis, Terminate analysis and Exit, or Terminate but Do

Not Exit.

Limits on physical values to stop analysis-- You can also specify

limits for one or more of the following physical values:

• Nodal DOF sol'n: Terminates if the largest nodal DOF solution value

(displacement, temperature, and so on) exceeds this limit.

• Cumulative iter: Terminates if the cumulative iteration number exceeds

this limit.

• Elapsed time: Terminates if the elapsed time (in seconds) exceeds this

limit.

• CPU time: Terminates if the CPU time (in seconds) exceeds this limit.

Arc-length Options [ARCLEN, ARCTRM]--Controls activation and termination of the arc-length

method. Click the Activate arc-length method check box to activate it,

and then use the Max multiplier and Min multiplier entry boxes to

specify the maximum and minimum multipliers of the reference arc-

length radius.

Note

You cannot use the arc-length method with the fol-

lowing controls: automatic time stepping, line search,

and the DOF solution predictor. If you activate the

arc-length method after you set any of these con-

trols, a warning message appears. If you choose to

proceed with the arc-length method activation, AN-

SYS disables your automatic time stepping, line

search, and DOF solution predictor settings.

Arc-length termination: Click the drop down list box to specify the

basis of solution termination. You can choose one of these options:

• Do not terminate analysis: Does not use arc-length option settings

as the basis for terminating the analysis.

• Terminate at first limit point: Terminates the analysis if the first limit

point has been reached. (The first limit point is that point in the re-

sponse history at which the tangent stiffness matrix becomes singular;

in other words, the point at which the structure becomes unstable.)

• Terminate at <direction> limit: Terminates the analysis when the

displacement in the chosen direction first equals or exceeds a specified

limit. The direction can be UX, UY, UZ, ROTX, ROTY, or ROTZ. If you

select one of these options, specify the maximum desired displacement

(absolute value) in the Displacement limit entry box. (For rotational

degrees of freedom, specify the limit in radians rather than in degrees.)

Then, click the Pick node button and use the picker to pick a node.

Mechanical APDL calculates the displacement at the picked node and

compares it to the specified limit. When the calculated displacement

equals or exceeds the specified limit, the analysis terminates.

Meshing Controls Mesh: Controls which type of solid model entity is being meshed.

Pressing the option button causes an option menu of available choices

(Volumes , Areas , Lines , and Keypoints ) to appear.

• Shape: Controls the shape of the elements used to create a mesh

(quadrilateral, triangle, hexahedral, or tetrahedral). The shape choices

that are presented at a particular time in the MeshTool depend on

what type of solid model entity you are meshing (volume , area , etc.;

see Mesh above) and which meshing type you select (free or mapped;

see Mesher below). If you are meshing lines or keypoints (see

Mesh above), the Shape control is inactive. [MSHAPE]

• Mesher: Controls which type of meshing (free or mapped) is used to

mesh a solid model. If you are meshing lines or keypoints (see Mesh

above), the Mesher control is inactive. Also see the [MSHKEY] com-

mand description.

An additional option in the Mesher section is active if you are

either

1. meshing an area (See Mesh above) and you are using mapped

meshing, or

2. meshing a volume (see Mesh above) and you are using hex

sweeping.

Pressing the options button causes an option menu of available

choices to appear. The choices in this options menu depend upon

if you are area map meshing or volume hex sweeping.

If you are area map meshing (option 1. above), the available

choices will be “3/4 sided” and “pick cornrs.” Choose “3/4 sided”

if you are meshing a 3-- 4-- sided area. Doing so causes a picking

dialog to open when you start the meshing operation (see Mesh

below). Use the picking dialog to pick the area to be meshed.

Choose “Pick cornrs” if you are meshing an area that is bounded

by more than four lines. Doing so will cause a series of picking

dialog boxes to open when you start the meshing operation (see

Mesh below). Use the first picking dialog to pick an area, then

use the second to pick three or four corners of the area. These

corners will be used as the keypoints that define the corners of

the mapped mesh. ANSYS internally concatenates all lines between

the specified keypoints, then meshes the area with all quadrilateral

elements. Also see the AMAP command description.

If you are volume hex sweeping (option 2 above), the available

choices will be “Auto Src/Trg” and “Pick Src/Trg.” Choose “Auto

Src/Trg” for most sweepable volumes. Doing so will cause a picking

dialog to open when you start the sweeping operation (see Sweep

below). Use the picking dialog to pick the volume or volumes to

be swept. When the “Auto Src/Trg” option is chosen, ANSYS intern-

ally attempts to determine which direction the volume can be

MeshTool

Page 66: Ansys mechanical apdl context sensitive help

swept. In addition, this option allows more than one volume to

be swept at once. Also see the VSWEEP command description.

Choose “Pick Src/Trg” if you first tried “Auto Src/Trg” and ANSYS

could not automatically internally determine the source and target.

In addition, use “Pick Src/Trg” if you want to specify a bias in the

sweep direction or a specific number of element layers in the

sweep direction, both of which are ignored by the “Auto Src/Trg”

option. Choosing the “Pick Src/Trg” option will cause a series of

picking dialog boxes to open when you start the meshing opera-

tion (see Sweep below). Use the first picking dialog to pick a

volume to sweep. Use the second dialog to pick the source area

for sweeping. Finally use the third dialog to pick the target area

for sweeping. This option allows only one volume to be swept at

a time.

• MESH: Starts the meshing operation. Also see the [VMESH, AMESH,

LMESH, KMESH, AMAP] command descriptions.

• SWEEP: Appears in place of the MESH button if Volumes, Hex, and

Sweep is chosen. When chosen, SWEEP issues the VSWEEP command.

See the VSWEEP command descriptions.

• CLEAR: Clears the selected volumes, areas, lines, and keypoints of their

associated nodes and elements. Pressing the CLEAR button opens a

picking dialog box that lets you select the entity to be cleared.

[VCLEAR, ACLEAR, LCLEAR, KCLEAR]

Refinement Controls Refine at:: Controls the general location at which mesh refinement

occurs. Pressing the option button causes an option menu of available

choices ( Nodes , Elements , KeyPoints , Lines , Areas , and AllElems ) to appear.

• Refine: Starts the refinement operation. Pressing the Refine button

opens a picking dialog box that lets you select the specific area(s),

line(s), etc. at which you want refinement to occur. Once you've made

your selection, additional dialog boxes are opened to let you set various

refinement options. [AREFINE, LREFINE, KREFINE, EREFINE, NREFINE]

The Contact Wizard automatically detects which degrees of freedom are active in your model (based

on element type):

• If only structural degrees of freedom are detected, thermal, electric, and magnetic options for contact

are ignored and KEYOPT(1) is set to 0.

• If structural and thermal degrees of freedom are detected, electric and magnetic contact options are

ignored and KEYOPT(1) is set to 1.

• If only the thermal degree of freedom is detected, thermal options are available and KEYOPT(1) is set

to 2. Heat generation due to friction is ignored.

• If structural, thermal, and electric degrees of freedom are detected, all contact options except mag-

netic are available and KEYOPT(1) is set to 3.

• If thermal and electric degrees of freedom are detected, all structural and magnetic contact options

are ignored and KEYOPT(1) is set to 4.

• If structural and electric degrees of freedom are detected, all thermal and magnetic options are ignored

and KEYOPT(1) is set to 5.

• If only the electric degree of freedom is detected, electric options are available and KEYOPT(1) is set

to 6.

• If only the magnetic degree of freedom is detected, magnetic options are available and KEYOPT(1)

is set to 7.

Create symmetric pair When on, two companion (symmetric) contact pairs will be created in-

stead of a single pair. The contact surface of each pair is identical to the

target surface of its companion pair, and vice versa. Although they will

use different real constant and element type IDs, both pairs will have the

same settings. This symmetric pair capability is applicable to flexible-to-

flexible contact only.

Include initial penetration When on, initial penetration includes the geometrical penetration. When

off, initial penetration is excluded.

Friction: Select the material ID and then set the coefficient of friction (any non-

negative value). You can use this to create a new material ID. Also, a

coefficient of friction value entered here will overwrite any previously

entered value.

Only isotropic friction can be defined through the Contact Wizard.

For a magnetic field analysis, input the magnetic permeance at the con-

tact interface. You can input a constant value or a table. The drop-down

list box lists all the tables that have been defined.

Optional settings ... This button launches the Contact Parameters dialog box. These settings

provide a finer degree of control over your contact analysis.

Contact Wizard: Set Parameters and Create

Surface-based Constraint Contact Pair (Pilot Node Only)

Use this dialog box to specify parameters for your analysis and create the contact pair that will support

a surface-based constraint.

Constraint Surface Type: The constraint surface type is either Rigid Constraint or Force-distributed

Constraint. See Surface-based Constraints for more information.

Boundary Conditions on

Target:

The boundary conditions on the pilot node (target) can be either user-

specified or set automatically based on the dimensionality of the model.

Constrained DOF Set on

Target:

Only checked degrees of freedom will be constrained according to the

constraint surface type. The All DOFs button sets all available degrees

of freedom to be included in the constrained DOF set.

Create Click this button to create the contact pair.

Flip Normals

This dialog box indicates that the contact pair was created and lists the real set ID for the contact pair.

At this point, you should check the normals for the contact pair.

The node order of the target surface elements is critical because it defines contact direction. For 2-D

contact, the associated contact elements must lie to the right of the target surface when moving from

the first node to the second node along the target surface line.

For 3-D contact, the target element numbering should be such that the surface's outward normal points

toward the contact surface. The outward normal is determined by the right-hand rule.

If the element normals do not point toward the contact surface, click Flip Target Normals to reverse

the direction of the surface normals. Click Finish when you have verified that the direction of the normals

is correct.

Finish

This dialog box indicates that the contact pair was created and lists the real set ID for the contact pair.

Each contact pair is identified via the same real constant number.

define, and the location from which you access the Contact Properties dialog (from the

Contact Wizard or from the Contact Manager).

Contact Properties: Basic

The Basic tab contains general properties related to contact behavior and convergence.

You should first try running your contact analysis using the default settings, then change settings only

if you encounter difficulties or have special situations in your analysis.

Use the questions below to assist you in determining if you need to change any of the default settings

based on special situations.

These questions are intended only as hints to guide you in your decision to adjust any of the

contact properties and may not cover all possible uses of these parameters. You are advised to

review the information in the linked sections (shown below) even if the questions do not apply

directly to your situation. The linked sections provide a more complete description on how the

parameters can be used.

For this dialog box, the <auto> option indicates that you are choosing a default value, the factor radio

button indicates that you are setting a scaling factor, and the constant radio button indicates that you

are setting a constant.

Contact Properties: Miscellaneous

Use the Miscellaneous tab to specify the following settings for your contact analysis.

If the factor button is checked, the value entered into the field is used as a scaling factor. If the constant

button is checked, the value entered is used as a constant.

Contact opening stiffness This sets a constant value or scaling factor for the FKOP real constant.

For modeling either no-separation or bonded contact, you may need to

set this value. This provides a stiffness factor applied when contact opens.

If a constant value is not selected, the true contact opening stiffness

equals FKOP* the contact stiffness applied when contact closes. The de-

fault FKOP value is 1.

No separation and bonded contact generate a "pull-back" force when

contact opening occurs, and that force may not completely prevent

separation. To reduce separation, define a larger value for FKOP.

Also, in some cases separation is expected but a connection must

be maintained to prevent rigid body motion. In such instances, you

can specify a small value for FKOP to maintain the connection

between the contact surfaces while allowing separation to occur

(this is a "weak spring" effect). This setting is ignored for Standard

and Rough settings for Behavior of contact surface (Basic tab).

Target edge extension

factor

This sets the value for real constant TOLS, which is used to add a small

tolerance that will internally extend the edge of the target surface. TOLS

is expressed in percentage units. A small value is usually efficient. The

default value is 10 for small deflection and 2 for large deflection.

Pressure penetration cri-

terion

When a fluid pressure penetration load is applied at the contact interface,

the pressure penetration criterion (real constant PPCN) is used to determ-

ine when the pressure penetrates. When the contact pressure is less than

the criterion, fluid pressure starts to penetrate. When the contact pressure

is greater than the criterion, fluid pressure is cut off.

Fluid penetration acting

time

When a fluid pressure penetration load is applied at the contact interface,

the fluid pressure can be ramped linearly over a time period, during one

or several substeps. To implement this ramping option, enter a fluid

penetration acting time (real constant FPAT). You can enter a fraction of

the time increment of the load step (factor) or an absolute acting time

(constant).

Fluid penetration load re-

mains constant

When a fluid pressure penetration load is applied at the contact interface,

you can indicate whether the fluid penetration load varies during itera-

tions based on the current contact status (default), or whether it remains

constant over the substep.

Asymmetric contact selec-

tion

When there are several contact pairs involved in the model, and the

graphical picking of contact and target surfaces is difficult, you can just

define the symmetric contact pairs. When you choose this option, ANSYS

internally selects which asymmetric pairs are to be used at the solution

stage.

Beam/shell thickness ef-

fect

By default, ANSYS does not account for the element thickness, beams

and shells are discretized at their mid-surface, and the penetration dis-

tance is calculated from the mid-surface. You can account for the thick-

ness of shells (2-D and 3-D) and beams (2-D) by using this option. When

this option is active, the distance of contact is calculated from either the

top or the bottom surface and

• For rigid-to-flexible contact, ANSYS will automatically shift the contact

surface to the bottom or top of the shell/beam surface.

• For flexible-to-flexible contact, ANSYS will automatically shift both the

contact and target surface (if they are attached to shell/beam elements).

When building your model geometry, if you are going to account

for thickness, remember the offsets which may come from either

contact surface or target surface or from both. When you specify a

contact offset and activate this option, it is defined from the top or

bottom of the shell/beam, not the mid-surface. When used with

SHELL181, SHELL208, or SHELL209, changes in thickness during de-

formation are also taken into account.

Element time increment Time step control is an automatic time stepping feature that predicts

when the status of a contact element will change or cuts the current

time step back. Select one of four actions to control time stepping:

71Release 15.0 - © SAS IP, Inc. All rights reserved. - Contains proprietary and confidential information

of ANSYS, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates.

Contact Properties

Page 78: Ansys mechanical apdl context sensitive help

No control: The time step size is unaffected by the prediction. This

setting is appropriate for most analyses when automatic time stepping

is activated and a small time step size is allowed.

• Automatic bisection: Time step size is bisected if too much penetration

occurs during an iteration, or if the contact status changes dramatically.

• Maintain reasonable: Predict a reasonable increment for the next

substep.

• Achieve minimum: Predict a minimal time increment for the next

substep.

• Use Impact Constraints: Activate energy and momentum conserving

contact in transient dynamic analysis.

Superelement usage The surface-to-surface contact elements can model a rigid body (or one

linear elastic body) contacting another linear elastic body undergoing

small motions. These elastic bodies can be modeled using superelements,

which greatly reduces the number of degrees of freedom involved in the

contact iteration. Remember that any contact or target nodes must be

one of the master nodes of the superelements.

Since the superelement consists only of a group of retained nodal

degrees of freedom, it has no surface geometry on which ANSYS

can define a contact and target surface. Therefore, the contact and

target surface must be defined on the surface of the original ele-

ments before they are assembled into a superelement. Information

taken from the superelement includes nodal connection and as-

sembly stiffness, but no material property or stress states (whether

axisymmetric, plane stress, or plane strain). One restriction is that

the material property set used for the contact elements must be the

same as the one used for the original elements before they were

assembled into superelements.

The following selections are valid:

• No superelement used

• Axisymmetric

• Plane strain or plane stress with unit thickness

• Plane stress with thickness input - The thickness (real constant

R2) is set through the field below.

Note

The above bulleted options are not available if you

are using CONTA175. However, the Contact Wizard

does provide the Contact Model capability, which

allows you to base the contact model either on

contact force or contact traction.

Contact model -- For the CONTA175 element, the

contact model can be either contact force based

(KEYOPT(3) = 0, default) or contact traction based

(KEYOPT(3) = 1). For the contact traction based

model, ANSYS can determine the area associated

with contact nodes. For the single point contact case,

a unit area will be used which is equivalent to the

contact force based model.

Contact Properties: Rigid Target

Use the Rigid target tab to specify the following settings for your contact analysis.

Boundary condition on tar-

get nodes

The boundary conditions on the target can be either automatically con-

strained or user specified.

For the Auto constrained option (the default), ANSYS checks the

boundary conditions for each target surface. If all of the conditions

listed below are met, then ANSYS treats the target nodes along the

respective degree of freedom as fixed:

• There are no explicit boundary conditions or prescribed forces for target

surface nodes.

• Target surface nodes are not connected to other elements.

• No constraint equations or node couplings have been used to constrain

target surface nodes.

At the end of each load step, ANSYS release the constraint conditions

that were set internally.

The constraint conditions stored in the result file (Jobname.RST )

and the database file (Jobname.DB ) may be updated due to this

change. You should carefully verify whether the current constraint

conditions are as expected before restarting an analysis or resolving

the problem in interactive mode.

If you wish to control the constraint conditions of target nodes, select

User specified.

Area elements have Defines whether 3–D rigid target surfaces were meshed with high-order

(midside nodes) or low-order target elements.

Pilot Node You can define or modify the pilot node using these options:

• Pilot Name (optional) - You can specify a name for a nodal component

that will contain the pilot node. This allows easier interaction with the

pilot node later on.

• Pilot Node - You can create or modify (delete/move) a pilot node using

one of the listed methods. The definition methods include an automatic

method (at centroid of target elements), picking methods (pick existing

ates in the active coordinate system. Pick Choose location ... to launch

the pilot node location picker or input the node coordinates. The pilot

node is not created or modified until after you pick OK in the Contact

Properties dialog.

Contact Properties: Thermal

Use the Thermal tab to specify the following settings for your contact analysis.

Thermal Contact Conduct-

ance

This sets the real constant TCC.

The conductive heat transfer between two contacting surfaces is

given by:

q = TCC X (Tt - Tc)

where:

q is the heat flux per area,

TCC is the thermal contact conductance coeffi-

cient, and

Tt and Tc are the temperatures of the contact

points on the target and contact surfaces.

TCC can be input as a constant value or as a table.

In a table, TCC can be a function of temperature,

pressure, time, and location. The drop-down list box

lists all tables that have been defined.

Stephan-Boltzmann con-

stant

This sets the real constant SBCT used to model radiation.

Heat transfer through radiation is given by:

q = RDVF x EMIS x SBCT [(Te + TOFFST)4 - (Tc +

TOFFST)4]

where:

TOFFST is the temperature offset from absolute zero to zero

(defined through the TOFFST command.)

EMIS is the surface emissivity.

RDVF is the radiation view factor.

Radiation View factor This sets the real constant RDVF. The radiation view factor can be input

as a constant value or as a table. In a table, RDVF can be a function of

temperature, gap distance, time, and location. The drop-down list box

lists all tables that have been defined.

Emissivity This sets the surface emissivity (MP,EMIS).

Frictional heating factor This sets the real constant FHTG used to model heat generation due to

frictional sliding.

Release 15.0 - © SAS IP, Inc. All rights reserved. - Contains proprietary and confidential informationof ANSYS, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates.74

Online Help for ANSYS Dialog Boxes

Page 81: Ansys mechanical apdl context sensitive help

The rate of frictional dissipation is given by:

q = FHTG x τ x V

where:

τ is the equivalent frictional stress.

V is the sliding rate.

FHTG is the fraction of frictional dissipated energy converted

into heat (defaults to 1).

Dissipation weight factor This sets the real constant FWGT used to model heat generation due to

frictional sliding. It is the weight factor for the distribution of heat

between the contact and target surfaces (defaults to 0.5).

The amount of frictional dissipation on contact and target surfaces

is given by:

qc = FWGT x FHTG x τ x V

and

qT = (1 - FWGT) x FHTG x t x V

where:

qc is the amount of frictional dissipation on the contact side.

qT is the amount of frictional dissipation on the target side

FWGT defaults to 0.5.

Thermal contact behavior This sets KEYOPT(3) for target elements TARGE169 and TARGE170. There

are two options for thermal contact behavior:

• Based on Contact Status (KEYOPT(3) = 0). This is the default option.

• Treated as Free Surface (KEYOPT(3) = 1).

For KEYOPT(3) = 0, the thermal contact behavior depends on contact

status as follows:

• Closed Contact -- Thermal contact conduction transfers heat between

two contacting surfaces.

• Frictional Sliding -- Frictional dissipated energy generates the heat to

both the contact and target surfaces.

• Near-Field Contact -- Both heat convection and radiation between the

contact and target surfaces is taken into account. The external flux

value contributes to the contact surface.

• Far-Field Contact -- Heat convection and radiation between the contact

surface and the environment is taken into account. The external flux

value only contributes to both contact and target surfaces.

Contact Properties

Page 82: Ansys mechanical apdl context sensitive help

If you choose the free surface contact behavior, ANSYS considers both free surface radiation and con-

vection as long as open contact is detected. In this case, there is no convection or radiation heat

transfer between the contact and target surfaces.

Contact Properties (Constraint Type): Constraint

The Constraint tab contains general parameters related to the behavior of surface-based constraint

contact pairs. Surface-based constraints are used to couple the motion of nodes on the contact surface

to a single pilot node on the target surface. A surface-based constraint requires the multipoint constraint

(MPC) contact algorithm (KEYOPT(2) = 2). (This KEYOPT is set automatically if you use the Contact Wizard

to create the contact pair.)

Constraint surface type When the multipoint constraint (MPC) algorithm is used, KEYOPT(4) de-

termines the surface-based constraint type. Two types are available:

• Force-distributed constraint surface - In this type of constraint, forces

or displacements applied on the pilot node are distributed to contact

nodes (in an average sense) through shape functions (similar to a

constraint defined by the RBE3 command).

• Rigid constraint surface - In this type of constraint, the contact nodes

are constrained to the rigid body motion defined by the pilot node

(similar to a constraint defined by the CERIG command).

Boundary conditions on

target

The boundary conditions on the target node can be either automatically

constrained or user specified.

For the Auto constrained option (the default), ANSYS checks the

boundary conditions for the target node. If all of the conditions listed

below are met, then ANSYS treats the target node along the respect-

ive degree of freedom as fixed.

• There are no explicit boundary conditions or prescribed forces for the

target node.

• The target node is not connected to other elements.

• No user-specified constraint equations or node couplings have been

used to constrain the target node.

At the end of each load step, ANSYS release the constraint conditions

that were set internally.

The constraint conditions stored in the result file (Jobname.RST )

and the database file (Jobname.DB ) may be updated due to this

change. You should carefully verify whether the current constraint

conditions are as expected before restarting an analysis or resolving

the problem in interactive mode.

If you wish to control the constraint conditions of the target node,

select User specified.

KEYOPT(4) of the target element is used to specify the degrees of freedom

to be constrained. A checked box indicates the DOF is active, and an

empty box indicates the DOF is inactive.

Pilot Node You can modify the pilot node using these options:

• Pilot Name (optional) - You can specify a name for a nodal component

that will contain the pilot node. This allows easier interaction with the

pilot node later on.

• Pilot Node - You can modify a pilot node using one of the listed

methods. The definition methods include an automatic method (at

Contact Properties: ID

Use the Identification tab to specify ID numbers for your contact pair. By default ANSYS will assign the

numbers shown in the various fields.

Contact pair real set ID A contact pair must share the same real constant set number. You can

use this field to assign any number that you wish, or accept the value

shown. After the contact pair is created, you cannot change this number.

Define Material Model Behavior

Use the Define Material Model Behavior dialog box to specify material properties, material models

and model combinations. There is a pull down menu bar, and two interactive scrollable tree structure

windows, as described below:

Material Allows you to specify a unique material model number, or allows you to

exit the Define Material Model Behavior dialog box. Choices are as

follows:

• New Model: Opens a dialog box where you specify a unique ID number

for the material model you are defining. You do not need to choose

this option when you define the first model. ANSYS automatically as-

signs number 1 to this model.

• Exit: Closes the Define Material Model Behavior dialog box. All set-

tings are retained if you open this dialog box again in the current

ANSYS session.

Edit Allows you to copy or delete material models.

• Copy: Opens a dialog box where you copy the contents of an existing

material model to a new material model by specifying model numbers

(for example, copy the contents of existing Material Model Number 1

to become the contents of new Material Model Number 3). The copied

material model is listed in the Material Models Defined window (de-

scribed below) with its new number. Its contents are identical to the

model whose contents you copied.

• Delete: Deletes a material model after you highlight its name in the

Material Models Defined window (described below).

Material Models Defined tree structure window displays the number

of each model, along with a small icon to the left of each item. If you

double-click on the item, a list appears of the material properties that

you entered for that item. The list appears indented below the model

number. Double-clicking on any listed material name displays the associ-

ated material data input dialog box, where you can edit the data.

Material Models Available Displays a list of material categories (for example, Structural, Thermal,

Electromagnetics). When you double-click on a category , sub-categories

appear indented and below the category (for example, under Structural

are categories Linear and Nonlinear, and others). If you double-click fur-

ther on the subcategories, you will eventually see a vertical list of mater-

ial models that are included under that category (for example, under

Hyperelastic are categories Mooney-Rivlin, Ogden, Neo-Hookean, and

others). This logical, top-down arrangement of material categories is in-

tended to assist you in choosing the appropriate model for your analysis.

Once you have decided which model you will use, you then choose it

by double-clicking on the item. A dialog box appears that prompts you

for the required input data for that property or model only (for example,

material constants associated with the Ogden model). When you click

on OK in the dialog box, the material number is listed in the Material

Models Defined tree structure window.

For a structural analysis, several inelastic material models (listed by

double-clicking on the following in the tree structure: Structural,

Nonlinear, Inelastic) require you to input values for elastic material

properties (elastic modulus and/or Poisson's ratio) in addition to the

inelastic constants that are specific to the model (for example, Yield

Stress and Tangent Modulus for the Bilinear Isotropic Hardening

model). In these instances, you must enter the elastic material

properties before you enter the inelastic constants. If you try to enter

the inelastic constants first, a Note appears stating that you must

first enter the elastic properties. After you click on OK in the Note,

a dialog box appears that prompts you for the elastic material

properties. After you enter these properties and click on OK, a dialog

box appears that prompts you for the inelastic constants associated

with the specific model you chose.

When entering constants for a combination model (for example, Bi-

linear Kinematic and Chaboche), after you enter constants for the

first model and click on the OK button, the material input dialog

box for the second model then appears where you can enter the

constants for the second model.

Video Demonstrations for PC Users

Video demonstrations are available that show basic techniques on defining material models, displaying

material properties, and material curve fitting. If you are a PC user, you can view one of these videos

by pointing your Internet Explorer browser to one of the following URL addresses:

Define Material ID

Define Material ID text field -- Allows you to specify a unique ID number for the material model you

are defining. After you choose OK in this dialog box, all subsequent material information that you enter

is assigned to this number. If you then specify another ID number and choose OK, material information

that you enter is assigned to this latest ID number. The ID number that appears in the field by default

is one number higher than the highest Material Model Number that appears in the Material Models

Defined window. When you define the first model, it is not necessary for you to use this dialog box.

ANSYS automatically assigns Material Model Number 1 to the first model.

For more information related to the Define Material ID dialog box, see the MP and TB commands in

the Command Reference.

2-D and 3-D Annotation

ANSYS Function Use a variation of this dialog for annotating your ANSYS display with text

and graphics. 2-D Annotation can be considered an overlay of your exist-

ing ANSYS display. As such, the underlying display can change without

changing the defined annotation. 3-D annotation is applied directly to

the XYZ coordinates of the hot spot of the anchor item you choose, and

will remain attached (within reason) even when the model is rotated,

moved, or resized.

Annotation Entity Select an entity from the list of annotation entities from the top pull

down menu on the dialog box.

Note

Each Annotation Entity is initiated, generated and

closed (saved) in a specific manner. The ANSYS status

bar will contain instructions (prompts) for each step

in the annotation process.

Annotation Anchor Available for 3-D annotations only. Use this pull-down menu to choose

the item to apply your annotation to. You can apply 3-D annotations to

any of the standard ANSYS geometry and analysis model items (nodes,

elements, keypoints, lines, areas and volumes), to XYZ coordinates that

you specify, or to “picked” points in free space. Your Annotation Entity

will be applied to the centroid of the anchor item (if applicable), and will

remain attached (within reason) even when the model is rotated, moved,

or resized.

Annotation Controls This area will change according to the annotation entity you choose. The

following defines the controls available for each entity. When you choose

“Options ”, the anchor type is grayed out and does not apply.

Areas Annotation areas attach the first

vertex of your area to the item, point,

or centroid of your defined anchor.

Subsequent picks create lines that

define the sides, and a final double-

click closes the sides to create an

area.

Choose Rectangle , Circle ,

Pie , Polygon , or Wedge to

annotate shapes. With the op-

tion shown in this box, you can

create 2-D annotation shapes of

different interior and exterior

color, and with solid or dashed

borders of different widths.

Arrows or Symbols Annotation Arrows attach the head

or tail to the item, point, or entity's

centroid, as defined by your anchor.

Your initial click starts the arrow, and

subsequent clicks allow you to apply

"bends" to the arrow tail. The final

right mouse click applies the arrow-

head and finishes the annotation.

Unlike Bitmap Files, which are

placed on your model at a fixed

you can also use graphics entities

bitmap fonts are not enabled, this

Setting Bitmap Text Option

To create bitmap text, you must

first enable bitmap fonts (Utility

Enable Bitmap Font). This loads

the fonts that are available on

your system. You then select the

desired font (Utility Menu>

*** WARNING *** CP = 0.764 TIME= 17:59:38 Element shape checking is currently inactive. Issue SHPP,ON or SHPP,WARN to reactivate, if desired.

*** WARNING *** CP = 0.764 TIME= 17:59:38 Make sure that the rotating element component 1 (component name CM_ROTVE) is axisymmetric about the axis of spin defined by the CMOMEGA command to correctly account for the gyroscopic effect in the stationary reference frame (CORIOLIS, ON,,, ON).

*** WARNING *** CP = 0.764 TIME= 17:59:38 SHELL181 will generate a gyroscopic damping matrix contribution (stationary frame ON in CORIOLIS command) in a dynamic analysis. The element matrix will be non-symmetric.

*** NOTE *** CP = 0.764 TIME= 17:59:38 The model data was checked and warning messages were found. Please review output or errors file ( D:\afbeley\WB projects\Rotordynamics Projects\Disk for Chap7 in RG\_ProjectScratch\ScrC5CC\file.err ) for these warning messages.

*** SELECTION OF ELEMENT TECHNOLOGIES FOR APPLICABLE ELEMENTS *** --- GIVE SUGGESTIONS AND RESET THE KEY OPTIONS ---

ELEMENT TYPE 1 IS SHELL181. IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH ELASTOPLASTIC MATERIALS ONLY. KEYOPT(8)=2 IS SUGGESTED AND KEYOPT(3)=2 IS SUGGESTED FOR HIGHER ACCURACY OF MEMBRANE STRESSES; OTHERWISE, KEYOPT(3)=0 IS SUGGESTED. KEYOPT(8) HAS BEEN RESET BUT KEYOPT(3) CAN NOT BE RESET HERE. PLEASE RESET IT MANUALLY IF NECESSARY. KEYOPT(1-12)= 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0
