How does a Finite Element Software (ANSYS or else) COMPUTE rotational symmetry?

05 May 2015 0 1K Report

If you describe a 3D-Problem (e.g. a Tube) in 2D in means of using rotational Symmetry, how does that affect the Calculation-Process? See Picture.

If I use quadratic elements in FEM with a contact surface, is the Mesh size of the Contact half of the body mesh size?

So that the Midnotes are also connected and don´t "float freely"? Question refers to FEM generally. I use ANSYS APDL.

ANSYS: Is it possible to use INTER-Elements and a Contact at once on the same Surface?

I want to put a Contact on a Delamination simulation but it seems to tell me "Elements to be separated by cohesive elements are of more than one stiffness number (183 and 172, perhaps more). The...

Are there direction-dependent Constraints realisable in APDL (ANSYS 14.5)?

I want a line to be able to move in only negative x-Direction. If the line ever gets (back) to x=0 it should be constrained.

ANSYS: How can I model a 3D-body, which has rotational symmetry by using 2D-Elements?

Plane182 has axial symmetry keyoption for example. For me personally AXISYMMETRIC means something different than CYCLIC or ROTATIONAL-SYMMETRIC. So how would you do it?

Where does 1/6 come from in the derivation in von Mises yield criterion (picture in comment)?

Arc length method for non linear buckling (Nonlin.-FEM in ANSYS): Is there any way I can continue the Simulation beyond the critical point?

I´m doing a non linear Simulation in which I have to deal with non linear buckling. Are there methods or altered arc-length algorithms that can cope with the Issue of Stability (see picture)? Thx

How to define an anisotropic material with asymmetric elastic compliance/stiffness matrix in ANSYS APDL?

I need to model an anisotropic material in which the Poisson's ratio ν_12 ≠ ν_21 and so on. Therefore, the elastic compliance matrix wouldn't be a symmetric one. In ANSYS APDL, for TB,ANEL...

I came across oscillations in a pressure profile for a pipeline flow along the axis of a cylinder, how do I prove that these are not numerical err?

In terms of CFD, we often analyze the stability of the error using Von-Neumann analysis, especially for FDM based problems. Should we follow the same approach for a compressible fluid flow using FVM ?
