HI I had to pause mid way just to say that you're my new hero! Very simple and direct video, straight to the point.

[@Gothangelik]

This is actually great! I am learning ANSYS for my own pleasure and I am using the 18.2 version. I do not have any books for it and did not know where to start, so I looked it up here on KZbin and stumbled on this video. This is just what I needed. Thank you so very much! (PS: I am now following you so I can watch your other tutorials and also because you are awesome and give clear explanations in your tutorials! (well, on this one you did.) Thanks again! )

[@prashantmali02]

very nice explanation sir......perfect use of all tools for project work..... sir i frequently use ansys for my project work ....and i always have a problem regarding MESHING of geometry (each mesh giving a different result) so it would be very helpful if you upload a video on meshing (its types and application etc...) ....thank you sir

[@drdalyo]

+prashant mali hi thanks for your comment. You can try to use the convergence tool so that ansys will automatically refine the mesh for you to converge the results. I could do a video on this, but i wonder how many other people would want the same video. Viewers, please like this comment if you want a video on just meshing! Thanks.

Sir, your video is very helpful and informative. Thank you very much for this. I am a beginner in ANSYS and having great trouble in extracting mass and stiffness matrices from ANSYS workbench to MATLAB. I need to use a reduced order modelling technique to reproduce the results using the FE model generated in ANSYS workbench. If you make a video on that it would be very helpful for everyone.

[@happs1123]

Beautiful explanation and overview of the different tools of this software. Thanks a lot I have a question though, could you explain what is the actual need for meshing. I didn't get that. And how do we select the perfect mesh size?

DrDalyO, your tutorials are the best I've found on youtube on ANSYS. If you could please make a video how to model a bolted connection (for example, steel bolted connection) that'd be really appreciated. If not, could you please help to show quickly how to model contact between the bolt and the hole ?

[@drdalyo]

+Tien Cuong Thank you very much for the nice comment. Its comments like these that inspire me to share more. A video on a bolted connection is very interested for me to show as well, I will put it on my list. In the meantime, I prepared a simple example for you in ANSYS v.15. I hope with this you can have a look at how I prepared it, such as the geometry, connections, mesh, etc. and that it will help you in the meantime untill I post a video. Thanks again. Here is the file: goo.gl/oTWf7s

Hi DrDalyO, thanks for the great video!!! I am new to Ansys, and I am wondering is it possible to use Ansys to simulate radiation pressure on mechanical structure? Like modelling the pressure on a surface exerted by laser.

[@marcelcastroponcedeleon7850]

I want to simulate a Concrete Cylindrical test (simple axial compressional test) to determine the Concrete element resistance and find under which load it will fail. I want to change in each test the type of concrete (f'c) so I can determine using ANSYS the resistance of each cylinder with specific material properties. Other way to see what I want to do is to recreate a triaxial test to get the UCS from different rocks. How can do this? Can you share some ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!!! Marcel.

[@DiegoporelmundoV]

I really loved this tutorial, it was so useful to me. I just have a question: when i open the Report Preview, i see some empty graphs with no data under the "Equivalent Stress", "Directional Deformation" and "Normal Stress" figures. I want to know if there is a way to delete them. Thank you very much for your time.

[@emad_biaz]

great tutorial in a short time

[@TylerIn2D]

Thanks for the great videos. How would I cover this in 1D with point loads as well as UDL?

[@drdalyo]

+TylerIn2D Hey thats a good question. Not sure if i completely understood, but basically you can simplify this to a line body. so in geometry modeler, create a line, then convert to line body, then create a section for that body and apply it. in Mechanical, you can then apply line load. if you want to apply the load as specific point, you would need to split the line in your geometry, or use Nodal Load which i think is an option... dont remember. I should probably make a video on this..

[@TylerIn2D]

+DrDalyO I think ive cracked it but yeah, thatd be good for anyone wishing to see this in future. Keep doing what you're doing!

[@zcfeng8]

Great tutorial! Very helpful to a beginner like me. One minor point: the equivalent stress (Von Mises) is not zero on the neutral axis because the shear stress is present on the neutral axis.

DrDaly0, I have been following all your ANSYS tutorials and I think its the best available in the internet. But I wonder whether would you be able to upload a video on modelling and analysing a reinforced concrete beam because I don't know how to add beam longitudinal and shear reinforcements.

Hi DrDalyo, Thanks a lot for the awesome video. I got confused how to put hydrodynamic added mass along the height of the dam. I need to model seismic deformation analysis for rock fill dam. I have two questions: 1. How to add engineering material( a. clay, b. rock)? 2. How can I input the different values of hydrodynamic added mass in respective height of crest from base of the dam?

[@balazsbakos4056]

Hi! Thanks for the video. I have a question. How can I make my cursor to be the center while zooming? By default the centerpoint is the middle of the screen, so in this case if i want to zoom to the end of the beam i can't make it precisely, i have to zoom, pan, zoom, or click on and put that little ball on the model, that helps, but it's whole thing is annoying and generates too much clicks. And how can I see the transparent body when you simulation the reasult with path selection? I can see only the path, the solid part is missing.

Sir, when I produce the image for my result and when I generate it in the report preview, the images of the beam (geometry, boundary condition, stress, etc) is big, I can only see 3/4 of the beam, I can't see the 2 ends of the beam. How can I solve this?'

[@yahoohotmail4532]

Nicely demonstrated. Excellent analysis. I have a doubt. Could we apply load in terms of velocity like some flat plate is pressing the top surface of beam at a constant speed. In this case the load is unknown, so could it be possible to apply load in terms of constant velocity?? Thank You.
