How to perform bending/rolling of a sheet in ANSYS APDL?

12 December 2014 1 6K Report

Hello. I am trying to model a Carbon Nanotube out of a Graphene sheet. I have already modelled the graphene sheet in Ansys (Mechanical APDL), which now I need to roll and connect one end (specifically node) of the sheet to it's other end, so that it forms a cylindrical tube. I am not able to find any provision to do so in ANSYS. Any kind of help or suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can can use your code of sheet. But instead of Cartesian Coordinate coordinate, use the Cylindrical Coordinate.

If you succeed on doing this. please attach your code here. Thanks.
