Description
You can now run transient structural analyses in Creo Ansys Simulation to study the dynamic response of a structure when a time-varying load is applied to it. You can define loads for transient studies as a function of time using a table function and study the effects of this load on the resultant displacements, deformation, stresses and strains in the model. Constraints can also be defined as a function of time.
The following additional simulation set up options are available:
• Initial Velocity
• Damping
• Step Duration
• Time-based sub-stepping
You can view result graphs over time for all contour plots and probes.
Benefits
The following are the benefits of this enhancement:
• Determines the dynamic response under time-history loading
• You can use transient structural studies to predict structural integrity, natural frequencies, and modes of vibration for a model.
• You can define and run multi-step, time dependent structural simulation.
Additional Information
Tips: | None. |
Limitations: | • When defining time-varying load functions you can only use table functions. Formula or symbol based (expression) functions are not available. As a workaround you can create a table using a formula in Excel and then import the date as a table function. • Basic results for a transient structural study display the value of the quantity for the last time value (static). • Animation of results is not available for a transient structural analysis as deformation results are not available. This will be available in a later release. • Transient structural studies consume considerable computing resources and hence they take a longer time to execute. Display of the results graph against time also takes a long time. |
Does this replace existing functionality? | No. |
Configuration option associated with this functionality: | None. |
