Introduction to Ansys
Description:
The ANSYS Workbench environment is an intuitive up-front finite element analysis tool that
is used in conjunction with CAD systems and/or Design Modeler. ANSYS Workbench is a
software environment for performing structural, thermal, and electromagnetic analyses. The
class focuses on geometry creation and optimization, attaching existing geometry, setting up
the finite element model, solving, and reviewing results. The class will describe how to use the
code as well as basic finite element simulation concepts and results interpretation.
Steps in Ansys Workbench:
 Workbench GUI
 Engineering Data
 Design Modeler
 Geometry
 Model
 Meshing
 Setup
 Solution
 Result
Workbench GUI
Introduction This document serves as a step-by-step guide for conducting a Finite Element
Analysis (FEA) using ANSYS Workbench. It will cover the use of the simulation package
through the graphical user interface (GUI). More advanced topics will also be briefly covered.
Aims and Objectives

The purpose of this document is to provide step-by-step instructions on how to use ANSYS
Workbench through the GUI. Upon completion, the student should be able to:
• use symmetry conditions to simplify a typical engineering problem
• perform a finite element simulation of a typical engineering problem
• investigate the effects of certain variables that are changed
Launch Ansys Workbench:

Launching ANSYS Workbench the ANSYS installation has many packages included. For this
tutorial, we will be using ANSYS Workbench.
BE VII SEMESTER CAE LAB MANUAL Page 1

Engineering Data:
A part’s response is determined by the material properties assigned to the part.
 Depending on the application, material properties can be linear or nonlinear, as

well as temperature-dependent.
 Linear material properties can be constant or temperature-dependent, and isotropic
or orthotropic.
 Nonlinear material properties are usually tabular data, such as plasticity data
(stress-strain curves for different hardening laws), hyper elastic material data.
 To define temperature-dependent material properties, you must input data to define
a property-versus-temperature graph.
 Although you can define material properties separately for each analysis, you have
the option of adding your materials to a material library by using the Engineering
Data tab. This enables quick access to and re-use of material data in multiple
analyses.
 For all orthotropic material properties, by default, the Global Coordinate System is
used when you apply properties to a part in the Mechanical application. If desired,
you can also apply a local coordinate system to the part.
To manage materials, right-click on the Engineering Data cell in the analysis system schematic
and choose Edit.
Geometry:
All analysis systems and several component systems, including Geometry, Meshing, and
Mechanical Model, begin with a geometry-definition step. You can define the geometry
differently depending on the type of simulation you are running. In most cases, you will use
the Geometry cell. Via the Geometry cell, you can:
 Create a geometry from scratch in Design Modeler

 Import an existing geometry:
 From neutral formats like IGES, STEP, Para solid, ACIS
 From CAD files on disk
 From an active CAD session that is already running on
the same machine
For Fluid Flow simulations, you can also start with an imported mesh or case file; see Basic
Fluid Flow Analysis, Starting from an Imported Mesh for details.
Specifying Geometry via the Context Menu
1. Right-click the Geometry cell.

2. Choose New Geometry to launch Design Modeler and create a
new model, or choose Import Geometry and browse to an existing
CAD model.

Alternatively, you can also launch ANSYS Workbench directly from some CAD systems.
When doing so, ANSYS Workbench starts with a Geometry system in place and the CAD file
already attached.
After you have attached or imported your geometry, the state appears as Up to Date, and the
icon indicates the type of file imported.
If you do not need to make any additional changes to your geometry, you can continue working
through the analysis as described in the next sections.
If your geometry needs to be modified before continuing with your analysis, you can edit the
geometry in Design Modeler. After modifying the geometry in Design Modeler or importing a
Design Modeler file, the icon in the Geometry cell will change to a Design Modeler icon. For
a file imported and then modified in Design Modeler, you can open the file in Design Modeler,
and the Design Modeler model tree will indicate the original source of geometry.
After the geometry is defined, you can share it with other systems. See Data Sharing and Data
Transfer for more information on sharing geometry systems.
Model / Mesh:
ANSYS Twin Builder is a powerful platform for modelling, simulating and analysing virtual
systems prototypes. It enables product development teams to verify and optimize performance
of their software-controlled, multi domain systems designs.
The Model cell in the Mechanical application analysis systems or the Mechanical Model
component system is associated with the Model branch in the Mechanical application and
affects the definition of the geometry, coordinate systems, connections and mesh branches of
the model definition.
When linking two systems, you cannot create a share between the Model cells of two established
systems. You can generate a second system that is linked at the Model cell of the first system,
but you cannot add a share after the second system has been created. Likewise, you cannot
delete a link between the Model cells of two systems.
The Mesh cell in Fluid Flow analysis systems or the Mesh component system is used to create
a mesh using the Meshing application. It can also be used to import an existing mesh file.
Edit
Launches the appropriate Model or Mesh application (the Mechanical

application, Meshing, and so on.)
Setup:
Use the Setup cell to launch the appropriate application for that system. You will define your
loads, boundary conditions, and otherwise configure your analysis in the application. The data
from the application will then be incorporated in the project in ANSYS Workbench, including
connections between systems.

For the Mechanical application systems, you will see the following Setup options, in addition
to the common options:
Edit
Launches the Mechanical application with the geometry loaded and with cells mapped
to their respective tree locations in the Mechanical application.
For CFX systems, you will see the following Setup options, in addition to the common options:
Edit
Launches CFX-Pre.
Import Case
Imports an existing case file containing physics data, region and mesh information for
your analysis.
For Fluent systems, you will see the following Setup options, in addition to the common
options:
Edit
Launches ANSYS Fluent.
Import Case
Imports an existing Fluent case file.
Solution:
From the Solution cell, you can access the Solution branch of your application, and you can
share solution data with other downstream systems (for instance, you can specify the solution
from one analysis as input conditions to another analysis). If you have an analysis running as
a remote process, you will see the Solution cell in a pending state until the remote process
completes. See the discussion on Understanding Cell States, below.
For the Mechanical application systems, you will see the following Setup options, in addition
to the common options described earlier:
Edit
Launches the Mechanical application open to the Solution branch.
Delete
Deletes the Solution and Results cell. Deleting the solution cell makes the system a
setup-only system, meaning the system will generate only an input file. It will not solve

or post results. The Solution object and below are removed from the Mechanical
application tree.
For CFX systems, you will see the following Solution options, in addition to the common
options:
Edit
Launches CFX-Solver Manager.
Import Solution
Displays the most recent CFX-Solver Results files imported (if any) and enables you to
browse for such files using the Open dialog box, where you can specify the CFX-
Solver Results file to load. When the results file is loaded, the system will display only
the Solution cell and the Results cell.
Display Monitors
Opens the ANSYS CFX-Solver Manager and shows the results of the previous run.
For Fluent systems, you will see the following Solution options, in addition to the common
options:
Edit
Launches ANSYS Fluent.
Import Final Data
Enables you to select an existing Fluent data set (for example, one solved on an external
cluster) into a Solution cell in a Fluent system and immediately start post-processing
in CFD-Post, without the need to run the minimum of one more solver iteration. This
option becomes available after importing case file into the Setup cell.
Results:
The Results cell indicates the availability and status of the analysis results (commonly referred
to as post processing). From the Results cell, you cannot share data with any other system.

STRESS ANALYSIS OF BRACKET
AIM:
To Study the stress and deflection of a bracket
SOFTWARE: ANSYS
THEORY:
The analysis of the bracket. A combination of GUI and the Command line will
be used for this example.
The problem to be modeled in this example is a simple bracket shown in the following figure.
This bracket is to be built from a 20 mm thick steel plate. A figure of the plate is shown below.
This plate will be fixed at the two small holes on the left and have a load applied to the larger
hole on the right.
Preprocessing: Defining the Problem
1. Give the Bracket example a Title

Utility Menu > File > Change Title
2. Form Geometry
Again, Boolean operations will be used to create the basic geometry of the Bracket.
a. Create the main rectangular shape
The main rectangular shape has a width of 80 mm, a height of 100mm and the
bottom left corner is located at coordinates (0,0)
 Ensure that the Preprocessor menu is open. (Alternatively type
/PREP7 into the command line window)
 Now instead of using the GUI window we are going to enter code into
the 'command line'. Now I will explain the line required to create a
rectangle:
 BLC4, XCORNER, YCORNER, WIDTH, HEIGHT

 BLC4, X coord (bottom left), Y coord (bottom left), width, height

 Therefore, the command line for this rectangle is BLC4,0,0,80,100
b. Create the circular end on the right hand side
The center of the circle is located at (80,50) and has a radius of 50 mm
The following code is used to create a circular area:
CYL4, XCENTER, YCENTER, RAD1
CYL4, X coord for the center, Y coord for the center, radius
 Therefore, the command line for this circle is CYL4,80,50,50
3.
a. Now create a second and third circle for the left hand side using the following
dimensions:
parameter circle 2 circle 3
XCENTER 0 0
YCENTER 20 80
RADIUS 20 20
b. Create a rectangle on the left hand end to fill the gap between the two small
circles.
XCORNER -20
YCORNER 20
WIDTH 20
HEIGHT 60
c. Your screen should now look like the following...

d. Boolean Operations - Addition

We now want to add these five discrete areas together to form one area.
 To perform the Boolean operation, from the Preprocessor menu select:
Modeling > Operate > Booleans > Add > Areas
 In the 'Add Areas' window, click on 'Pick All'
(Alternatively, the command line code for the above step
is AADD, ALL)
You should now have the following model:
e. Create the Bolt Holes We now want to remove the bolt holes from this plate.
 Create the three circles with the parameters given below:
parameter circle 1 circle 2 circle 3
WP X 80 0 0
WP Y 50 20 80
radius 30 10 10
 Now select
Preprocessor > Modeling > Operate > Booleans > Subtract >
Areas
 Select the base areas from which to subtract (the large plate that was
created)
 Next select the three circles that we just created. Click on the three
circles that you just created and click 'OK'.
is ASBA, 6, ALL)
Now you should have the following:

2. Define the Type of Element

As in the verification model, PLANE82 will be used for this example
o Preprocessor > Element Type > Add/Edit/Delete
o Use the 'Options...' button to get a plane stress element with thickness
is ET, 1, PLANE82 followed by KEYOPT, 1, 3, 3)
o Under the Extra Element Output K5 select nodal stress.
3. Define Geometric Contents
o Preprocessor > Real Constants > Add/Edit/Delete
o Enter a thickness of 20mm.
(Alternatively, the command line code for the above step is R,1,20)
4. Element Material Properties
o Preprocessor > Material Props > Material Library > Structural > Linear >
Elastic > Isotropic
We are going to give the properties of Steel. Enter the following when
prompted:
EX 200000
PRXY 0.3
(The command line code for the above step is MP,EX,1,200000 followed
by MP,PRXY,1,0.3)
5. Mesh Size
o Preprocessor > Meshing > Size Cntrls > Manual Size > Areas > All Areas
o Select an element edge length of 5. Again, we will need to make sure the model
has converged.
(Alternatively, the command line code for the above step is AESIZE, ALL, 5,)
6. Mesh
o Preprocessor > Meshing > Mesh > Areas > Free and select the area when
prompted
(Alternatively, the command line code for the above step is AMESH, ALL)

Saving Your Job

Utility Menu > File > Save as...
Solution Phase: Assigning Loads and Solving
You have now defined your model. It is now time to apply the load(s) and constraint(s) and
solve the resulting system of equations.
1. Define Analysis Type
o 'Solution' > 'New Analysis' and select 'Static'.
(Alternatively, the command line code for the above step is ANTYPE,0)
2. Apply Constraints
As illustrated, the plate is fixed at both of the smaller holes on the left hand side.
o Solution > Define Loads > Apply > Structural > Displacement > On Nodes
o Instead of selecting one node at a time, you have the option of creating a box,
polygon, or circle of which all the nodes in that area will be selected. For this
case, select 'circle' as shown in the window below. (You may want to zoom in
to select the points Utilty Menu / PlotCtrls / Pan, Zoom, Rotate...) Click at
the center of the bolt hole and drag the circle out so that it touches all of the
nodes on the border of the hole.

o Click on 'Apply' in the 'Apply U, ROT on Lines' window and constrain all
DOF's in the 'Apply U, ROT on Nodes' window.
o Repeat for the second bolt hole.
3. Apply Loads
As shown in the diagram, there is a single vertical load of 1000N, at the bottom of the
large bolt hole. Apply this force to the respective key point (Solution > Define Loads
> Apply > Structural > Force/Moment > On Key points Select a force in the y
direction of -1000)
The applied loads and constraints should now appear as shown below.
4. Solving the System
Solution > Solve > Current LS
Post-Processing: Viewing the Results
We are now ready to view the results. We will take a look at the deflected shape and the
stress contours once we determine convergence has occurred.
1. Convergence using ANSYS
As shown previously, it is necessary to prove that the solution has converged.
Reduce the mesh size until there is no longer a sizeable change in your
convergence criteria.
2. Deformation
o General Postproc > Plot Results > Def + un deformed to view both
the deformed and the un deformed object.
The graphic should be similar to the following
o Observe the locations of deflection. Ensure that the deflection at the bolt hole
is indeed 0.

3. Deflection
o To plot the nodal deflections, use General Postproc > Plot Results >
Contour Plot > Nodal Solution then select DOF Solution - USUM in the
window.
o Alternatively, obtain these results as a list. (General Postproc > List Results
> Nodal Solution...)
o Are these results what you expected? Note that all translational degrees of
freedom were constrained to zero at the bolt holes.
4. Stresses
o General Postproc > Plot Results > Nodal Solution... Then select von Mises
Stress in the window.
o You can list the von Mises stresses to verify the results at certain nodes
General Postproc > List Results. Select Stress, Principals SPRIN


VIVA QUESTIONS:

EXPERIMENT – 13
BUCKLING
AIM:
To Study the deflection of a buckling.
 Eigenvalue buckling analysis
 Nonlinear buckling analysis
SOFTWARE: ANSYS
THEORY:
Buckling loads are critical loads where certain types of structures become
unstable. Each load has an associated buckled mode shape; this is the shape that the structure
assumes in a buckled condition. There are two primary means to perform a buckling analysis:
1. Eigenvalue
Eigenvalue buckling analysis predicts the theoretical buckling strength of an ideal
elastic structure. It computes the structural eigenvalues for the given system loading
and constraints. This is known as classical Euler buckling analysis. Buckling loads for
several configurations are readily available from tabulated solutions. However, in real-
life, structural imperfections and nonlinearities prevent most real-world structures from
reaching their eigenvalue predicted buckling strength; ie. it over-predicts the expected
buckling loads. This method is not recommended for accurate, real-world buckling
prediction analysis.
2. Nonlinear
Nonlinear buckling analysis is more accurate than eigenvalue analysis because it
employs non-linear, large-deflection, static analysis to predict buckling loads. Its mode
of operation is very simple: it gradually increases the applied load until a load level is
found whereby the structure becomes unstable (i.e. suddenly a very small increase in
the load will cause very large deflections). The true non-linear nature of this analysis
thus permits the modeling of geometric imperfections, load perturbations, material
nonlinearities and gaps. For this type of analysis, note that small off-axis loads are
necessary to initiate the desired buckling mode.

A steel beam with a 10 mm X 10 mm cross section, rigidly constrained at the bottom. The
required load to cause buckling, applied at the top-center of the beam, will be calculated.
Eigenvalue Buckling Analysis
1. Open preprocessor menu

/PREP7
2. Give example a Title
Utility Menu > File > Change Title ...
/title, Eigen-Value Buckling Analysis
3. Define Key points
Preprocessor > Modeling > Create > Key points > In Active CS ... K, #,
X, Y
We are going to define 2 Key points for this beam as given in the following table:
Key points Coordinates (x, y)
1 (0,0)
2 (0,100)
4. Create Lines
Preprocessor > Modeling > Create > Lines >Lines>In Active Coord L,1,2
Create a line joining Key points 1 and 2
5. Define the Type of Element
Preprocessor > Element Type > Add/Edit/Delete...
For this problem we will use the BEAM3 (Beam 2D elastic) element. This
element has 3 degrees of freedom (translation along the X and Y axes, and
rotation about the Z axis).
6. Define Real Constants
Preprocessor > Real Constants... > Add...
In the 'Real Constants for BEAM3' window, enter the following geometric
properties:
i. Cross-sectional area AREA: 100
ii. Area moment of inertia IZZ: 833.333
iii. Total Beam Height HEIGHT: 10
This defines a beam with a height of 10 mm and a width of 10 mm.
7. Define Element Material Properties
Preprocessor > Material Props > Material Models > Structural > Linear > Elastic
> Isotropic
In the window that appears, enter the following geometric properties for steel:
i. Young's modulus EX: 200000
ii. Poisson's Ratio PRXY: 0.3
8. Define Mesh Size
Preprocessor > Meshing > Size Cntrls > Manual Size > Lines > All Lines...
For this example, we will specify an element edge length of 10 mm (10
element divisions along the line).

9. Mesh the frame

Preprocessor > Meshing > Mesh > Lines > click 'Pick All'
LMESH, ALL
Solution Phase: Assigning Loads and Solving

Solution > Analysis Type > New Analysis > Static
ANTYPE,0
2. Activate pre-stress effects
To perform an eigenvalue buckling analysis, pre-stress effects must be activated.
o You must first ensure that you are looking at the unabridged solution menu so
that you can select Analysis Options in the Analysis Type submenu. The last
option in the solution menu will either be 'Unabridged menu' (which means you
are currently looking at the abridged version) or 'Abridged Menu' (which means
you are looking at the unabridged menu). If you are looking at the abridged
menu, select the unabridged version.
o Select Solution > Analysis Type > Analysis Options
o In the following window, change the [SSTIF][PSTRES] item to 'Pres tress ON',
which ensures the stress stiffness matrix is calculated. This is required in
eigenvalue buckling analysis.

Solution > Define Loads > Apply > Structural > Displacement > On Key Points
Fix Key point 1 (i.e. all DOF constrained).
4. Apply Loads
Solution > Define Loads > Apply > Structural > Force/Moment > On Key points
The Eigen value solver uses a unit force to determine the necessary buckling
load. Applying a load other than 1 will scale the answer by a factor of the load.
Apply a vertical (FY) point load of -1 N to the top of the beam (key point 2).
The applied loads and constraints should now appear as shown in the figure below.
5. Solve the System

SOLVE
6. Exit the Solution processor
Close the solution menu and click FINISH at the bottom of the Main Menu.
FINISH
Normally at this point you enter the post processing phase. However, with a buckling
analysis you must re-enter the solution phase and specify the buckling analysis. Be sure
to close the solution menu and re-enter it or the buckling analysis may not function
properly.
Solution > Analysis Type > New Analysis > Eigen Buckling ANTYPE,1
8. Specify Buckling Analysis Options
o Select Solution > Analysis Type > Analysis Options
o Complete the window which appears, as shown below. Select 'Block Lanczos'
as an extraction method and extract 1 mode. The 'Block Lanczos' method is used
for large symmetric eigenvalue problems and uses the sparse matrix solver. The
'Subspace' method could also be used, however it tends to converge slower as it
is a more robust solver. In more complex analyses the Block Lanczos method
may not be adequate and the Subspace method would have to be used.

9. Solve the System

SOLVE
10. Exit the Solution processor
Close the solution menu and click FINISH at the bottom of the Main Menu.
FINISH
Again it is necessary to exit and re-enter the solution phase. This time, however, is for
an expansion pass. An expansion pass is necessary if you want to review the buckled
mode shape(s).
11. Expand the solution
o Select Solution > Analysis Type > Expansion Pass... and ensure that it is on.
You may have to select the 'Unabridged Menu' again to make this option visible.
o Select Solution > Load Step Opts > Expansion Pass > Single Expand >
Expand Modes ...
o Complete the following window as shown to expand the first mode
12. Solve the System

2. Give example a Title
Utility Menu > File > Change Title ...
/TITLE, Nonlinear Buckling Analysis
3. Create Keypoints
Preprocessor > Modeling > Create > Keypoints > In Active CS
K,#,X,Y
We are going to define 2 keypoints (the beam vertices) for this structure to create
a beam with a length of 100 millimeters:
Keypoint Coordinates (x,y)
1 (0,0)
2 (0,100)
4. Define Lines
Preprocessor > Modeling > Create > Lines > Lines > Straight Line
Create a line between Keypoint 1 and Keypoint 2. L,1,2
5. Define Element Types
Preprocessor > Element Type > Add/Edit/Delete...
For this problem we will use the BEAM3 (Beam 2D elastic) element. This
element has 3 degrees of freedom (translation along the X and Y axis's, and
rotation about the Z axis). With only 3 degrees of freedom, the BEAM3 element
can only be used in 2D analysis.
6. Define Real Constants
Preprocessor > Real Constants... > Add...
In the 'Real Constants for BEAM3' window, enter the following geometric
properties:
i. Cross-sectional area AREA: 100
ii. Area Moment of Inertia IZZ: 833.333
iii. Total beam height HEIGHT: 10
This defines an element with a solid rectangular cross section 10 x 10 millimeters.

7. Define Element Material Properties

Preprocessor > Material Props > Material Models > Structural > Linear > Elastic
> Isotropic
In the window that appears, enter the following geometric properties for steel:
i. Young's modulus EX: 200e3
ii. Poisson's Ratio PRXY: 0.3
8. Define Mesh Size
Preprocessor > Meshing > Size Cntrls > Lines > All Lines...
For this example, we will specify an element edge length of 1 mm (100 element
divisions along the line).
ESIZE,1
9. Mesh the frame
Preprocessor > Meshing > Mesh > Lines > click 'Pick All'
LMESH, ALL
Solution: Assigning Loads and Solving

2. Set Solution Controls
o Select Solution > Analysis Type > Sol'n Control...
The following image will appear:
Ensure the following selections are made under the 'Basic' tab (as shown above)
A. Ensure Large Static Displacements are permitted (this will include the
effects of large deflection in the results)
B. Ensure Automatic time stepping is on. Automatic time stepping allows
ANSYS to determine appropriate sizes to break the load steps into.
Decreasing the step size usually ensures better accuracy, however, this
takes time. The Automatic Time Step feature will determine an

appropriate balance. This feature also activates the ANSYS bisection

feature which will allow recovery if convergence fails.
C. Enter 20 as the number of sub steps. This will set the initial sub step to
1/20 th of the total load.
D. Enter a maximum number of sub steps of 1000. This stops the program
if the solution does not converge after 1000 steps.
E. Enter a minimum number of sub steps of 1.
F. Ensure all solution items are written to a results file.
Ensure the following selection is made under the 'Nonlinear' tab (as shown
below)
G. Ensure Line Search is 'On'. This option is used to help the Newton-
Raphson solver converge.
H. Ensure Maximum Number of Iterations is set to 1000
NOTE
There are several options which have not been changed from their default
values. For more information about these commands, type help followed by the
command into the command line.
Solution > Define Loads > Apply > Structural > Displacement > On Keypoints
Fix Keypoint 1 (ie all DOFs constrained).
4. Apply Loads
Solution > Define Loads > Apply > Structural > Force/Moment > On Keypoints
Place a -50,000 N load in the FY direction on the top of the beam (Keypoint 2).
Also apply a -250 N load in the FX direction on Keypoint 2. This horizontal
load will persuade the beam to buckle at the minimum buckling load.
The model should now look like the window shown below.

5. Solve the System

SOLVE
The following will appear on your screen for Non Linear Analyses
This shows the convergence of the solution.
