Simulation of 3D Composites

This video is a step-by-step introduction to the modeling of thick composites structures. It covers all steps of the composites modeling process from material definition, orientation of composites, definition of plies and creation of the 3D model of the composites. We then show how composites structures are assembled with non-composites part in order to solve the full problem. Finally, we take a look at how first-ply failure of composites can be analyzed and how design modifications can be easily applied to compute design variations of a given product.

ANSYS Magnetic Valve Assembly

This demonstration illustrates the process of using ANSYS EMAG to calculate magnetic torque versus position angle for a magnetic valve assembly. This example will show the complete process, beginning from a CAD assembly progressing to electromagnetic results for various operating positions of the valve. Along the way we will highlight:

• Creating a parametric model from static CAD data
• Generating an enclosure volume and a winding body
• Robust and flexible meshing for an electromagnetic simulation
• Including nonlinear B-H data to account for material saturation
• Rapid and robust convergence of the ANSYS solver
• Intuitive graphical post-processing of electromagnetic results
• Easy to perform parametric studies

One Way Coupling Of CFX And ANSYS For Thermal Stress Analysis

With the release of ANSYS 11.0, the process of performing fluid structure interaction analysis has been significantly streamlined. In this brief demonstration, we will review the process of performing thermal stress analysis for a T-junction assembly. CFD analysis including heat transfer in the solid ws will be performed in ANSYS CFX. The temperature distribution on the inside ws is mapped onto the mechanical model and an ANSYS solution is performed in order to determine the resulting thermal stress and deformation. of this is performed in a single integrated CAE environment, ANSYS Workbench.

An Early Look at Two-Way FSI in ANSYS 11.0

With the impending release of ANSYS 11.0, the process of setting up and solving two-way FSI simulations will be supported entirely within the ANSYS Workbench environment. This will greatly improve the usability of this industry-leading capability. In this demonstration, we give you an early look at the process, using a simple model of a blood vessel which deforms in response to a pressure pulse applied at the inlet.
