What is a bearing load in Ansys?

An ANSYS Bearing Load applies forces to one half of a cylindrical face in a radial direction on the face with a magnitude proportional to the cosine of the angle of the face normal to the load direction.

What is static structural analysis?

A static structural analysis determines the displacements, stresses, strains, and forces in structures or components caused by loads that do not induce significant inertia and damping effects. A static structural load can be performed using the ANSYS, Samcef, or ABAQUS solver.

How do I load Ansys Workbench?

It can be easily done using imprint faces command in Geometry Modeler in ANSYS Workbench, for example if your surface of interest (the one you want to apply load to) is of a rectangular shape, or any other, create a sketch in plane offset from the surface on which your surface of interest is located, then click on …

What is remote force in Ansys Workbench?

The Remote force boundary condition is used to apply a force to a face (or set of faces) of a structure from a remote point. This boundary condition is analogous to the Remote displacement boundary condition for forces.

What is the best way to perform a bearing analysis?

My current method of analysis (unsure if best), is to 1. set the support to cylindrical support (largest hole in the part), and then 2. insert bearing loads at each joint. The confusion I have is related to this bearing load and how to set the vector.

Is Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio always required for linear static analysis?

Young’s Modulusand Poisson’s Ratioare always required for linear static structural analyses: •Densityis required if any inertial loads are present. •Thermal expansion coefficientis required if a temperature load is applied.

What degrees of freedom (DOF) do loadloads respond to?

Loads and supports respond in terms of the degrees of freedom (DOF) available for the elements used. With solid geometry the DOF are X, Y and Z translations (for shells and beams we add rotational DOF rotX, rotY and rotZ).
