ANSYS Workbench: Mechanical Examples
Step 1. Opening ansys workbench
• Overview:– Start > ANSYS Workbench– Create Static Structural analysis system
2
1
Double click
[Optional] Note on save as …
• Do not save to a network drive location– //server/share/folder/file.wbpj
• Instead used a local drive or mapped network drive: browse computer, for example– U:/folder/file.wbpj
• Reason: when solver tries to start, it will fail if a file it needs is in a network drive location (even if there is an equivalent mapped location). Can save and re-open from the mapped location. To view where your files are,– Workbench menu > View > Files
Step 2. Geometry
• Overview:– Sketch• Draw• Dimension• Generate
– Extrude• Generate
– Close the DesignModeler window
Double click, wait, then click

Click XYPlane
Click new sketch
Click Z axis
Click sketching tab
[Optional] Click Settings; Check boxes grid on and snap; Major grid spacing 1 m; Minor steps 10; Click Draw
Note: navigating 3d view
• Zoom: mouse scroll wheel, or click buttons for box zoom, slide zoom, fit all
• Tilt: press middle mouse button (scroll wheel) and move mouse
• Pan: Ctrl+Middle mouse button
Note: making mistakes
• Use Undo/redo on toolbar• Sketching > Modify > Trim to remove mistakes• Zoom in close to make sure lines are closed.
Fix with trim and corner.
Click Draw Rectangle
Click one corner, then opposite

Draw and dimension circle
Click Modeling
Click on the sketch
Click extrude
Under geometry, click apply
Select depth and enter a value
Generate
Close the window
Step 3: Model and setup
• Overview:– Mesh• Create sizing rules• Update mesh
– Loads• Insert pressures
Double click
Wait till you see …
Select mesh. Change relevance center or element size.

[Optional] More advanced rules: Right click mesh and insert a rule.
Update mesh. (Toolbar or right click)
Note on mistakes in meshing and solving: if mesh is too fine and never finishes, Start > run > taskmgr. Kill high
CPU process. Increase element size and retry.
Example medium relevance mesh.
Right click Static Structural > Insert > Pressure
Follow the yellow boxes (unfinished)
Click geometry value, click a face, then click apply

Select magnitude value and enter -100e3
Repeat (or duplicate and select differenct face)
Step 4: Solving and viewing results
• Overview:– Solve and wait– Insert results – Update results– View results
Click solve, wait, and check for errors. Warnings are ok, errors are bad.

Insert a result field: right click solution > stress > maximum principal
Right click solution > evaluate all results
Select maximum principal stress. Note ratio of max to min values.
Advanced step: Parameters.If the box is checked, parameter will be controlled differently.

Note: Parameter Set
Can use to make parametric studies.

As hole diameter goes to zero, max of maximum principal stress goes to 2x boundary pressure.
