I would like to know, why ANSYS recommended a friction coefficient less or equal to 0. How can I select the Unsymmetrical solver?ģ- The above message (unsymmetrical solver) appears when I use the frictional contact type with a friction coefficient greater then 0.2 (For example, how to select all the concrete bodies through command then assign the material properties of concrete, after, select all steel bars and assign to them the material properties of steel, and the same things for contacts)Ģ- Sometimes, when I solved the model ANSYS recommended to switch the solver to unsymmetrical, Knowing that I am using a Static Analyses and this solver type does not exist in Workbench, only Direct and Iteration solvers exist in Solver Type. I want to ask, How can I use an APDL code to assign the material properties for all concrete elements only at once and also for the Steel elements. To select SOLID65, or LINK180 in ANSYS workbench it must use command objects.ġ- Because of the high number of elements, It takes a while to input the material properties for all elements. The model contain 130 concrete body, 160 steel bars, and about 300 contact elements between the bodies. Seven and greater will be incorrect for both the master and copy set).I am doing a numerical analysis using ANSYS workbench 15.0 These commands make up the ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL).

Real constant copy to only the first six real constants (real constants When copying real constants to new sets, ANSYS, Inc. Is, real constants used in general contact interactions). Previously assigned by the GCDEF command (that Specify NSET = GCN to define real constants for real constant sets that were If using table inputs ( SURF151, SURF152, FLUID116, CONTA171, CONTA172, CONTA173, CONTA174, and CONTA175 only), enclose the table name in % signs (e.g., %tabname%). The required number are specified, zero values are assumed for the Brief notes on MAPDL Structure Some commands are valid in any processor: /EXIT, NSEL, etc. If more than the required number of element real constantsĪre specified in a set, only those required are used. The more familiar you become with the Command Reference, the more quickly you will pick up APDL The appendix of this documentcontains links to the Help Documentation page for every commandthat is referenced.

Constants must be input in the same order as shown November 2013Southpointe 275 Technology Drive 002328 Canonsburg, PA 15317 ANSYS. The real constants requiredįor an element are shown in the Input Summary of each element description ANSYS Mechanical APDL Programmers Reference Release 15.0ANSYS, Inc.
