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.
