You have to consider the units in your mind and try to deal with the SI unit only it will be much easier to handle.
#Ansys apdl how to
Of course, like all ANSYS APDL command, the above GUI procedures can be recreated with ANSYS APDL command and make it easily programmable. This example illustrates how to create a model using ANSYS/APDL, run the Job with the plugin, and visualize the results. Answer: As per my knowledge, there is no unit in mechanical APDL. See ANSYS help for command “SECOFFSET” for options available. Note that we do have an option to offset section node to locations other than BEAM Section Centroid in case the line representing the BEAM is not drawn at the centroid. To bring a section file to a model, “Preprocessor -> Sections -> Custom Sections -> Read Sect Mesh”, this brings up the window below: This file is a text file and can be brought to any models containing BEAM element of the cross section. Once it’s done, ANSYS prompts me to save the section mesh to a file:Īfter writing the information to a file, ANSYS automatically delete the mesh. It takes ANSYS less than a second to mesh the section areas. Simply select all the areas I need to include in the cross section and click “Done”. A note comes up to remind me I may need to specify mesh size: Then use “Preprocessor -> Sections -> Beam -> Custom Sections -> Write From Areas” to bring up the window to “Select areas”. With the “Custom Sections” functionality, I can easily create the cross section geometry as “AREA” in ANSYS: If you are using Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Internet Explorer (7 or higher), you will be given the option to download using a Download Manager that will appear as either a pop-up window or a new tab in your browser. I had to be really careful to make sure the axis referred by ANSYS match up correctly with the CAD section property output. Download Speed (Mbps) Average Download Time for Ansys Student Product. I used “Preprocessor -> Sections -> Beam -> Common Sections” to bring up “Beam Tool”, then scroll down to “User Section” under “Sub-type”
#Ansys apdl software
I used to use CAD software (for example: SOLIDWORKS) to calculate the section properties, and manually input them in ANSYS. I don’t know since when the capability of drawing any geometry and creating a custom section became available in ANSYS APDL.
#Ansys apdl license
I heard with the help of ANSYS Design Modeler, it is also easy to work with BEAM elements in Workbench, but since we don’t have a license for Design Modeler, I really can’t comment on that. Creating a model with BEAM element is one of those occasions I feel the needs for ANSYS APDL. Although with each new release of ANSYS Workbench, the needs to open ANSYS APDL are getting less.
Occasionally I still find it’s useful to go back to ANSYS APDL interface for certain problems.
