I had doubts in ANSYS Parametrization. I would be very grateful if you would help me with the same.Problem consists of plotting Coefficient of drag with respect to parameter n of a curve. I have attached figure along with this question.Nose of the vehicle is defined with equation (x/a)^n + (y/b)^n =1. If i want to change the value of (n or lambda) continuously from 1.2 to 4 without having to do meshing everytime, what procedure should i follow to generate this parametric curve? And how do i approach this problem in ANSYS to get graph of Coefficient of drag v/s continuous variation of lambda from 1.2 to 4?
Dear Ammar Ahmad Qazi
For the equation
(x/a)n+(y/b)n = 1, 1.2 ≤ n ≤ 4.
Consider the following form
((x/a)n/2 )2 + ((y/b)n/2 )2 = 1.
Take the polar parametrization:
(x/a)n/2 = cosθ→ x = a(cosθ)2/n
(y/b)n/2 = sinθ → y = b(sinθ)2/n
where 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π, 1.2 ≤ n ≤ 4.
Best regards
Dear Issam Kaddoura
Could you please elaborate on how to do this parametrization in ANSYS Workbench?
Thanks & regards
