ANSYS Explicit loads?

Hi I would like to apply loads in two steps in explicit dynamics as follows; 1. Apply vertical load without horizontal sliding 2. Then, with this load, apply an horizontal displacement Thank you

fatal error

When I tried to energy minimization my system, I got fatal error as below. Fatal error: Atomtype opls_116 not found Although I've already added this line: ; include water #include "oplsaa.ff/spc.itp" to [molecultype] directive in my topology.

Resistor definition in Piezoelectric bimorph with ANSYS workbench

Hello, good day! I am trying to simulate similar bimorph piezoelectric harvester with below commands. However, the output power doesn't change with resistor value. Please help to find the reason. ET,10,CIRCU94,0 !SET UP RESISTOR R,1,100000 !RESISTANCE VALUE TYPE,10 !SET ELEMENT TYPE E,1,2 !CREATE RESISTOR BETWEEN NODES 1 AND 2 Thanks in advance Regards,

Why are the velocities so high in my Boussinesq approximation Fluent simulation?

Hello, I have a mechanism where air rises due to convective flows. In this simulation, nothing is driving the air except this. I understand that the Boussinesq approximation only works for small...

What is the characteristic length to determine the Reynolds number for the scattered turbulent fluid flow?

Dear all, I just saw this example in FB on the difference between laminar flow and turbulent flow. The flow from a pipe hits the sink and scattered. The flow from the pipe is characterized as...

LOAD DISPLACEMENT CURVES Stiffness increasing in ANSYS non linear analysis. HOW CAN I CORRECT IT?

Hi. I am doing non linear FE analysis using a new material beam under flexural 2 point loading using ANSYS. I have defined a bilinear material model. The solution has converged. In results I am...

You can apply them as a ramp or step load steps (depends on your load versus time plot).

I don't get it; I would like to apply 5 kN at 0 mm then at 10 mm apply 50 kN. Do you have any guide?

You have to apply the first 5 KN as a load step number one then you can apply the second 50 KN as a second load step. Then you have to use the command of Lssolve from 1 to 2. You can get more information about that in Ansys help.
