CREATION AND ANALYSIS OF SOLID MODEL-II USING ANSYS APDL

Ex. No : 11
Date :
AIM
To create the solid model and to conduct the stress and deflection analysis in ANSYS
APDL batch file.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

Tensile Load of 1500 N/mm2 applied on the left end of the block whereas right end is fixed.

Young’s Modulus: 2×105 N/mm2

Poisson’s ratio : 0.3

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
RAM : 8GB
Processor : Core 2 Quad / Core 2 Duo
Operating system : Window 8/9/10/11
Software : ANSYS (Version 2022R1)

PROCEDURE
The three main steps to be involved are,
 Pre Processing
 Solution
 Post Processing
Start - All Programs - ANSYS Mechanical APDL 2022 R1
- Set the Working Directory as E Drive, User; Job Name as Roll No., Ex. No. - Click Run.

Stress:

Node number Min Stress Max Stress

Deformation:

Node number Min Deflection Max Deflection

RESULT
Thus the creation and analysis of Solid cylinder is done by using the ANSYS APDL
batch file.
