ANSYS Application: "Using the Plasticity Option in Workbench"
presented by Bill Galloway, Werner Company
We appreciate Bill's
efforts to present "how to" examples in the Workbench
environment. During our discussions of this example, several
topics came up which are worth recording:
- ANSYS 9.0 WBE has many
hyperelastic material models available in Beta features. Just
turn on Beta features. The instructions I have say: At the
bottom of the WBE startup screen is "Tools" and under
that, click on "Options." Then, expand the
"Common Settings" tree and click on the "User
Interface" branch. Under "Menus/Toolbars" you
can set "Show Beta Options" to "YES." I am
told then to close WBE and start it again and the changes will be
visible and obvious. Sure ! ?
- More options for defining
material properties can be accesses with ANSYS Command
snippets: in WBE-Simulation, on "Geometry" >
"Solid," right mouse to "Insert a Command
Object." The commands you enter are executed in PREP7
right after the material definition of WBE.
- Sometimes we create a plot
for the model or results using an ANSYS Command snippet and we want
to make the plot available to the WBE Report Generator. Go to
the 9.0 WBE Help system and search on "Command Object" and
click on the search result: "Command Object." Then
scroll down to find "Viewing ANSYS Plots in Workbench" and
see how this is done with "Command Object" in the WBE
Simulation tree.

ANSYS 10.0
SIMULCAST:
On Thursday, June 16, please join us as we announce ANSYS® 10.0, the latest step in our continued evolution to support the simulation-driven product design needs of our customers and partners. Highlights include:
Taking full advantage of the ANSYS® Workbench™ infrastructure for integrated CAE, ANSYS 10.0 provides a more seamless approach for meshing and modeling, simulation and analysis, and post-processing.
Continuing the ANSYS commitment to Multiphysics, ANSYS 10.0 offers superior capabilities for sophisticated Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) problems. This release represents full FSI coupling from a single vendor, utilizing the best-in-class technologies in stress and fluid flow analysis.
As part of our evolution to support the latest hardware, ANSYS 10.0 now supports Windows 64-bit. This release also addresses the broader need in the market for efficient and timely execution of analysis problems of ever increasing size and complexity.
Committed to developing powerful solutions for specific industry requirements, ANSYS 10.0 introduces ANSYS® BladeModeler™, an efficient 3-D rotating machinery design tool for bladed components, and ANSYS® TurboGrid™, a high-quality hexahedral meshing tool for blade design. Created in ANSYS Workbench and taking full advantage of the software tools, this is one industry-specific example that will provide significant productivity gains for customers in the turbomachinery industry.
This event will consist of a webcast along with local, onsite activity. During the 90 minute webcast, you will have the opportunity to submit questions to ANSYS senior managers and technical experts.
In addition, your local ANSYS/channel partner experts will provide detailed presentations and demonstrations showing the exciting new features of ANSYS 10.0.
Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to hear from Jim Cashman,
president and CEO of ANSYS, Inc., along with key ANSYS senior managers.

Mike Wheeler gave
highlights of ANSYS 10.0
- better FSI
(Fluid-structural interaction)
- high performance
computing (distributed processing and parallel processing)
- ADVANCED
TECHNOLOGIES
- cohesive
element - able to model delamination
- thermal
transient in WBE
- new windows in
WBE show graphs of responses (time history) and tables can be
created too
- strain based
fatigue calculations
- MathCAD can be
embedded in WBE. (A MathCAD equation can be used to
computer parameter values for APDL modeling).
- CFD models to
capture laminar-to-turbulent flow transition
- midsurfacing
with tools to close/extend surfaces at gaps
- improved
meshing: quad. surface and 3D volumes (HEXACORE)
- Industry Solutions
- for rotating equipment applications
- "blade
modeler" makes a model that CFX can solve for the flow solution
and then ANSYS can solve structural stress and/or vibration analysis
During the open Q
& A and DEMO period, some notes of interest were:
- WBE in 10.0 has
TIME varying B.C.'s. (Spatially varying B.C.'s are hoped for
in WBE 11.0)
- Composites will not
be released in WBE 10.0 (not likely in WBE 11.0, either)
- WBE 10.0 heat
transfer analysis now includes radiation (but only to the
surroundings - not radiation energy exchange between different solid
element faces).
- Time varying loads
are defined in WBE-Simulation under the "Engineering Data"
