I am simulating the deformation (collapse) of a tube made of silicon and I want to find the cross-section area of the deformed tube in Ansys mechanical
Hi Mohammad Amin Faghihi Zarandi. I suggest you do geometry update after the solution. this will give you a CAD model of the deformed geometry. After that you may measure the cross sectional parameters.
(1)Do you mean the deformation result is that you don't expect?
(2)Or, do you have trouble with making a construction geometry?
For (1), it only can show you the deformation result contour on the construction geometry you made. If you need to plot the area, I don't know how to do as well.
Cehnpin Hsu Actually none of them. The problem is that even I create the surface, I do not know how to find the area. The problem is the hollow space that I want to find its area not the deformed section (shown on the attached file)
I have actually exactly the same issue, i'm also simulating a two way FSI collapsing tube in a transient simulation. I need to know the area during all the steps time, did you find your answer?
