Introduction to ANSYS Mechanical

– The “2D” switch must be set on the Project page prior to importing geometry. •Each node in a 2D element has two translational degrees of freedom (UX and UY) for structural or one temperature DOF for thermal. •2D solids are used to represent three types of 3D geometry, “Axisymmetric”, “Plane stress” and “Plane strain”.

8 Flat Plate Analysis - Rice University

Then, the plots are pretty, but wrong. If the edges of the plate are simply sitting on top of to walls, then the wall could not pull down on the corner. ... reaction forces appear, then move the split line away from the corner and repeat the process. It may be a slow procedure, but it can lead you to the correct lift off regions. ...

those terms even though finite element analysis lets you conduct buckling studies in 1D, 2D, and 3D. For a material, stiffness refers to either its elastic modulus, E, or to its shear modulus, G = E / (2 + 2 v) where v is Poisson’s ratio.

Impact Load Factors - Rice University

Maximum horizontal stress (143 MPa) is at the center plane top and bottom Of course, since the static model is linear there is no need to re-run the model (unless you want pretty plots). The static maximum fiber stress (SX) of 26.0 MPa could be multiplied by the 5.48 vertical Impact Factor to find the dynamic maximum SX stress of 143 MPa.

Introduction to Finite Element Analysis in Solid Mechanics

3. For a static analysis you will need to decide whether the problem is linear, or nonlinear. Linear problems are very easy to solve. Nonlinear problems may need special procedures. 4. For a static analysis with history dependent materials you will need to specify the time period of the analysis, and the time step size (or number of steps) 5.
