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.

[@Mohan-iu3bi]

Great Presentation. Very helpful.

[@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.

[@ChocolateWings7]

Great tutorial to get started, thank you so much and hope you are well!

[@drdalyo]

Yes thanks!

[@ikacar]

Thank you for this video. I think that you have to use BC "diplacement as Ux=0 Uy=0 Uz=0" at the one end point where you used "fixed support". Because this end point on beam is NOT cantilever joint.

[@drdalyo]

+Il Kacar its been awhile since i posted the video, but if i remember, i probably used a fixed support along a line, which means that by default there is no restriction on rotation and only displacement. If i selected the FACE of the end of the beam, then this will restrict it in all displacement and rotation. Thanks for the question!

[@end3dp]

thank you very much this is the first example I worked out in ansys

[@nicolasbmoretto]

I believe the stresses in the ends at the neutral axis are not 0 because of the shear stresses, isnt it? Very good video, easy to understand the tutorial!!

[@Tamil.o.Official]

Hello Sir, could you kindly assist me with the questions I have,? a beam is critical to bending and shear; we check both in design, so in your video, the beam is over-stressed at the midspan, which is obvious. Is this stress diagram for flexure or for something else? How do we know what will happen to shear? If this stress below the characteristic design strength, can we assume this will satisfy all applied forces.

[@chouaibtammal9066]

Is it OK to apply a linear density (5 N/mm) to the face without considering its real width !!! don't we need to devide it by a=40mm ??

[@mamurtaza]

Very well explained and demonstrated.

[@aaronmehlhose6889]

Excellent Explanation! One question: Why does it not matter where to place the Force? It automatically is placed in the center. How come?

[@drdalyo]

Thank you! It does matter where you place the force. In this case I am applying a uniformly distributed load on the top surface. This means that the force is evenly distributed over the whole face that I selected.

Hi! this was the best ANSYS tutorial I've ever seen. Can you please post a video on importing/exporting CAD files into the modeler? What ever I do all I get is an error message. Appreciate your help!

[@drdalyo]

+Akshaya Ramachandran I appreciate your nice comment! You have to import it and then in design modeler hit the generate button, or in project view, right click and update it. if it gives you an error, then the geometry file type cant be imported, meaning you have to convert your model to another extension. some basic ones are .SAT or .IGES or .STP or .X_T for parasolid. Thanks for watching! please subscribe!

hello DrDalyO, could you please do a tutorial on a reinforced concrete beam strengthened with an FRP sheet and on a near surface mounted FRP bar?

[@عمارياسينالجبوري-ط7م]

Hello, thank you very much for this wonderful lecture. I have a question in the ANSYS program. I want to prepare, for example, a superimposed material in the form of a layer consisting of two materials, the first is fiber of any kind, and the other is a polymer material, with dimensions of 10 * 10 cm and a thickness of 2 cm. How do I calculate or how can I enter the volume fraction values For both materials in the ANSYS program, for example, the first material is 60% and the second material is 40%. I hope you will help me in solving this problem. I mean, how can the volumetric fraction or weight ratios be calculated for each materials in the ANSYS program? With appreciation

[@alisafieh8795]

I wish I had known this software before I worked on Abaqus. it is far easier and clearer.

[@christianqueiroz5361]

Hi, thanks for the video. You used FORCE as boundary condition, but in the given example I think that the correct load is line pressure in Ansys, isn't it? Distributed load N/m.

[@rebwarakram1289]

Thanks for the video. Please someone help. In the first step why you only change the young's modulus? By default the material is Structural steel not concrete. I am simulating a beam made of recycled HDPE reinforced with fibre glass. I have some properties like E, compressive strength, flexural strength, dimension and loads, density, coefficient of thermal expansion, but still struggling to obtain Tensile Yield Strength, shear modulus, etc? How do you overcome this issue? Thanks

[@charliesalame9503]

Hi, Very helpful video. I have a question regarding steady state heat transfer in ANSYS. If i have a plate with rectangular fins and my aim is to find the film coefficient of convection h in order to keep the plate at a fixed temperature, how can i do that on ANSYS? Because if i want to apply the boundary condition for convection, i cannot do it without h, which is what i want to find. Thanks!

Hey man i loved ur video thank u. But can u please tell me how can we put multiple roller and pins at different point in the bar

[@Cloughster123]

Great video thanks. I could not get the convergence to work. I think this may to having a student license maybe? So with this, I changed my mesh from a coarse to a fine mesh in the 'Model' > 'Mesh' section and now when results are evaluated, the solution has an' unknown error occurred' - could you shed some light on what I may have done here?

[@g89raul]

Thanks for making this video

[@asifjaved9797]

Hello Sir, I have just started learning ansys static structural. I found your video very helpful. I understood most of the things from this video but can't understand some things. 1. What is the purpose of adding convergence? 2. How to we know that our mesh(default) is good or bad? 3. What happens if we increase or decrease %age(allowable change) in convergence? I will be waiting for your reply. Thanks

[@drdalyo]

The purpose of adding convergence is to answer your second question. By using convergence you will know when you mesh is good within a certain error (% allowable change). So by adding convergence, ansys will continually refine the mesh (you have to set the number of maximum refinement loops) untill the allowable change has been met. So as an example, say the first mesh gives a max stress results of 50MPa with a coarse mesh. Then it automatically refines the mesh and solves again, naturally the max stress value should increase so say now its 60MPa. The % change in the value is now 20%. If you set the % allowable change to 20%, the solver will stop, if its less, say 1%, then the solver will continue to refine the mesh untill the difference between the previous results and the current results is 1% or less. hope this helps!

[@sebastianalvarez4582]

Well, my questions are not about the video, but about the program itself. First, I would like to know that by giving the shearing efforts, which specifically it is giving me, since it does not make sense to the expected. Second, when applying a load on a surface, it looks as if it were triangular and undistributed, as is specified the distribution of the load that one desires. Third, in the supports, like knowing that it is embedding, simple support, double support, articulation. And fourth, how to arrange the joints between the elements well, like two tubes with inclination, and to be able to determine them if their union is welded or articulation. Thank you

[@indranilhazra5728]

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.

[@pksnain]

Thanks a lot for such a good resource

[@syedsaqibmehboob9528]

Your work is admirable for the workbench learners. Well done. I have a request too. Can you please make a tutorial for modal analysis of simply supported beam and compare FEM results with theoretical results. I am kind of beginner in this tool. I did it by myself but what is happening that for first four bending modes of a beam only first two bending modes are comparable to theoretical values and for later-on modes the deviation exceeds even 20-30 points. Please model beam with dimension as: L=2600 mm, Width=200 mm & Depth=100 mm. I will be grateful to you for your help.

[@nhatvule6705]

Hi, I wonder why we use "fixed support" in this case? Isn't Fixed Support restricting all 6 degrees of freedom, while the supports in this diagram are restricting translational motion only?

[@drdalyo]

I do not recall the details, but if you use fixed support on an edge, it will not restrict rotation. If you fix a face, it will restrict all motion, translation and rotation (UX, UY, UZ, RX, RY, RZ). So depending on how you would like to restrict your geometry you can change the boundary conditions as you wish.
