User Interface (Cont’d) To create a system:
1. Choose an “analysis type” from the
analysis systems (e.g. Modal)
2. Drag and drop the “analysis type” to
“Interface for project schematic”.
From now on, we will call the
“analysis types”, as “systems”.
Each project can contain one or
more dependent or separate
“systems”

CAD Connectivity (Cont’d)
Contact types:
• “Bonded” connection works like welded joint between
the selected surfaces (i.e. fixes the planes w.r.t. each other).
• “No separation” provides a frictionless contact where the
selected surfaces never loose contact, but can slide
w.r.t each other in a limited way.
•“Rough” connection allows the surfaces to separate,
but no sliding is allowed.
• “Frictionless” connection is like “no separation”, but surfaces
Can slide freely.
• “Frictional” connection is like frictionless except that a friction coefficient is assigne

Meshing (Cont’d)
Some notes:
• Several meshing options are available in ANSYS Workbench.
• These meshing options have been obtained by implementing Finite Element-based Method (ANSYS Workbench environment.
• In addition to the mesh types, various meshing algorithms are embedded in the software. Thdetermine where/how to start meshing in the structure.
•
The use of a proper mesh type/size/algorithm is highly dependent on the geometry, materialof analysis (e.g. whether it is CFD, static structural, modal, etc.). This topic is beyond the scopworkshop.
• Example:
When sharp edges, and/or small geometrical features are present in the geometry, the mesh nein size.

Modal Analysis• What is modal analysis?
A standard analysis in vibrations to obtain:
• Natural frequencies
• Mode shapes
of a structure. Any structure has theoretically infinitely many natural frequencies. Assoeach natural frequency, the structural vibrates according to a motion pattern which is mode shape.

Harmonic Analysis• What is harmonic analysis?
A standard analysis in vibrations to obtain the Frequency Response of a structure at a interest given a harmonic load.
The response amplitude of the structure at its natural frequencies is typically higher tfrequencies.
This information is utilized in the design of vibrating structures, so as to avoid excessivamplitudes at the frequency range of interest.

Harmonic AnalysisTo create a harmonic analysis system, there are 2 options:
Option 1:
drag and drop a “Harmonic Response” system to the interface. (i.e. create the model fscratch)
Option 2:
Click upper-left triangle on “modal” system---> duplicate (a new system will be created
On the new system (named “copy of modal”): Click on upper-left triangle on “copy of modal”--->replace with---> Harmonic Response
We will go with option 2, because all the information regarding the geometry, contactwill be retained.

Select the “Range Maximum” as 500 HZ
To set the damping ratio:
Click “Damping Controls”--->
Select 0.01 for “Constant Damping Ratio”.
To set the external loading:
1. Click “loads” on the “Environment” toolbar--->select “Force”
2. Select geometry you want to apply the force on

Harmonic Analysis
Solution Intervals:
This number determines the number of frequency discretization over the specified ranFor instance, for a solution interval of 10, and frequency range of [0-500] Hz, we will gresponse at: 0, 50, 100, 150,…500 Hz.
Set the solution interval to 50, this will give you frequency increments of 10 Hz.
The model is now ready to be solved now!
