ANSYS Mechanical application-Static Structural Analysis

•In this chapter, performing linear static structural analyses in Simulation will be covered:

A.Geometry and Elements

B.Assemblies and Contact Types

C.Analysis Settings

D.Environment, including Loads and Supports

E.Solving Models

F.Results and Postprocessing

–

•The capabilities described in this section are generally applicable to ANSYS DesignSpace Entra licenses and above.

–Some options discussed in this chapter may require more advanced licenses, but these are noted accordingly.

•For a linear static structural analysis, the displacements {x} are solved for in the matrix equation below:


Assumptions:

–[K] is constant

•Linear elastic material behavior is assumed

•Small deflection theory is used

•Some nonlinear boundary conditions may be included

–{F} is statically applied

•No time-varying forces are considered

•No inertial effects (mass, damping) are included

•It is important to remember these assumptions related to linear static analysis.  Nonlinear static and dynamic analyses are covered in later chapters.
