As part of my master's thesis, i have to investigate the burning behavior of wood. For that i simulated a 2D-transient analysis in ansys apdl. With the EKILL command, i deactivated all elements that had a temperature greater than 300°C. Now i have a residual cross section and i don't know how i can determinate the area of this residual cross section.
As a first thought you may count the elements that killed using *get command and then multiply it by the element area
Depending on cross section shape, just measure distance between nodes of remaining elements, extreme nodes, and calculate cross section area based on distances.
ndist command can be used to find distance between nodes.
hello
I have a question about Ansys
how to change the axes (xy) to (xz) en 2D
thank you advance
