Introduction To Ansys Workbench

2014...

The ANSYS Workbench that can solve limited types of three dimensional problems begins
with Start Page that has Geometry, Simulation, and Empty Project as shown below. The
Geometry is to create the model and the Simulation is for analysis. All of these are saved
individually.

9.1.1.1 DesignModeler
1. Click the Geometry to bring up the DesignModeler.
2. Select a unit (here, select the Inch) in the dialog for unit.
3. For future, the unit and other options may be changed by [Tools > Options > Designer
Modeler > Units = Inch].
4. The initial screen of DesignModeler appears as below. The menu arrangement may
change with the size of window and can be altered by drag-moving the handle.

5. Click Sketching tab to sketch a section. The initial sketch plane appears as XYPlane at
upper left corner. You may change this to any other plane or any planar surface of
existing feature in the model such as solid surface. Some of important menus are
indicated in the figure below.

of sketching.
7. Click

menu and
select a drawing tool, then sketch a section in the
Draw Sketch
Model Window. The sketch section must be a closed section. If there are several of them,
then they must not intersect. The actual dimensions will be changed later. To deactivate
the currently selected menu, hit ESC key or click New Selection
drawing menu.

or select another

Note that a hint appears on the toolbar at bottom of the window during any action.

How to Sketch

Note that any time during sketching as well as modelling Undo and Redo can be used
repeatedly. Also, ESC key is to terminate the active menu.
1. This is a practice for only sketching and can be skipped.
2. Sketching can be done on a selected plane. Initial sketching plane is XY Plane that
appears in the default 3D view. Sketch can be done on the plane in any orientation.
3. Draw > Line > draw a vertical line starting from a point on the negative x-axis and then
continue to draw lines to complete a rectangle.
Note that a symbol appears when the cursor on an entity. C symbol appears when the cursor
lies on an entity and symbol appears as it is on the end point or intersection of entities.
Also, the V (vertical) or H (horizontal) symbol appears for vertical or horizontal line.

4. Zoom To Fit
5. Circle > click a point for center and move the cursor to change the size, and then click to
place the circle.
6. Rectangle > click two points for two diagonal corners.
7. Oval > click two points for two focal points of the oval and move the cursor to fix the
size. The result should appear as:
8. Arc by Center > click the center, move and click the first end point of the arc, and then
second end point.
9. Arc by Tangent. Click and hold down the existing end point of another line to which the
arc will be tangent and move off to pick another point. Not shown here.

10. Draw two additional lines as shown above to learn Modify.


11. Modify > Trim > click the side of a line to trim that intersect other line > repeat this to
trim all segments of two lines outside the rectangle as shown below in (a).
12. Corner > click the sides of two lines to trim that intersect each other as in (b).

20. Dimension > General > click a line and place the dimension next to it. Repeat this for all
other lines.
21. Modify > Constraints > Equal Length > pick two lines L1 and L2 > Equal Distance >
RMB in the model window > Select Multiple > pick L3, P1, L4 in sequence (see them
rearranged) > RMB in the model window > New Multiple Select > (now, for horizontal
arrangement of L6, P1, L5) pick L6 > pick them in order and see them rearranged.

22. Dimension > Display > uncheck Name and check Value to display values than names.

Crash Example (Structural Analysis)

When one dimension is much larger than the other two dimensions of the model such as
beams and bars, the analysis can be simplified to one dimensional analysis with appropriate
section properties. In the examples below, structural problems are illustrated.

After assigning a cross section to a line body, a new property will appear where you can
specify the type of offset to apply. There are three choices:

Centroid: The cross section is centered on the edge according to its centroid. This is the
default setting.
