General Steps For Solving Problems Using ANSYS

1. The general steps for solving problems using ANSYS include: preprocessing such as defining element types, material properties, and modeling geometry; applying boundary conditions and loads; solving the problem; and postprocessing to analyze results such as displacement, stress, and reaction forces. 2. Key steps for Problem 1 include creating a bar with nodes and elements, applying a fixed support and 1500N force, solving for displacement of 0.10909E-02m and stress in each element, and determining the -1500N reaction force. 3. Results like displacement, stress, and reaction forces are obtained through posts processing commands for contour plots, element/nodal listings, and reaction force tables.

Step 1- Ansys Utility Menu File -Clear and start new -Do not read file -ok File -Change job name -Enter new job name -xxx ok File -Change title -Enter new title -yyy ok Step 2 -Ansys Main Menu -Preferences Select -STRUCTURAL ok Step 3 -Preprocessor Element Type -select type of element from the table and the required options Real constants -Give the details such as Thickness, Areas, Moment of Inertia etc. required depending on the nature of the problem Material properties- select units- choose one of the following types of unit . USER User-defined system (default). SI International system (SI or MKS; m, kg, s, K). CGS CGS system (cm, g, s, C). MPA MPA system (mm, Mg, s, C). BFT British system using feet (ft, slug, s, F). BIN British system using inches (in, lbf*s2/in, s, F). Material properties -Give the details such as Young's Modulus, Poisson's ratio etc. depending on the nature of the problem Step 4 Modeling Create the required geometry such as nodes, elements, area, volume by using the appropriate options Step 5 -Generate Elements / nodes using Mesh Tool if necessary (in 2-D and 3-D problems). Step 6-Apply the Boundary conditions/loads Such as DOF constraints, Force/Momentum, Pressure etc. Step 7 -Solution- Solve the problem. Step 8 -General Post Processor -Plot / List the required results. Step 9 -Plot ctrls -animate-deformed shape-def+ un deformed-ok Step 10 -To save the solution / geometry etc: Ansys tool bar -Save-DB-File -Save as -zzz.db ok Step 11 -To open the solution / geometry etc: Ansys tool bar -Resume-DB-File -Resume from -zzz.db-ok Plot- volume/area/elements/nodes to see the geometry
