What is point mass in Ansys?

A Point Mass (a remote mass), can be added to an Ansys FEA model to include the load due to mass that does not stiffen a structure, but that is important to capturing inertial loads such as those due to gravity, rotation about an axis, or dynamics. The point mass will load the associated faces.

What is Autodyn?

Ansys AUTODYN is a uniquely versatile explicit analysis tool for modeling the non-linear dynamics of solids, fluids, gas and their interaction. Finite volume solvers for fast transient Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Mesh free particle solvers for high velocities, large deformation and fragmentation (SPH)

What is rigid body dynamics in Ansys?

Course Overview. Utilize the power of the rigid dynamics explicit solver for efficient and robust evaluation of mechanical systems containing complex assemblies of interconnected rigid parts undergoing large overall motion.

What is remote point in Ansys Workbench?

Remote points are a way of abstracting a connection to a solid model, be it a vertex, edge, face, body, or node, to a point in space (specified by Location). Remote points allow you applying boundary conditions by defining points in the selected coordinate systems.

How do I use remote mass in Ansys?

Step 1: From Tree Outline, click right-mouse-button (RMB) at “Model” and choose “Create a Remote Points”, create a remote pointe with selected geometry and coordinates.

What is Autodyn in Ansys?

ANSYS Autodyn simulates the response of materials to short duration severe loadings from impact, high pressure or explosions. It is best suited for simulating large material deformation or failure. Autodyn provides advanced solution methods without compromising ease of use.

What is transient analysis in Ansys?

Transient structural analysis is the process of calculating and determining the effects of loads and internal forces that are a function of time on a structure or an object. It is used to determine the dynamic response of a structure under the action of any general time-dependent loads.

How do you select points in Ansys?

There are three different ways to do this:

Enter the coordinates ( x0,y0,z0) under Coordinates.
Click on the Select Point With Mouse button and then select the point by clicking on a location in the active graphics window with the mouse-probe button.
