Plotting is a part of any project, because plots are essential to communicate your analysis set-up and results to others. In this article, we'll look at how to increase image quality and how to efficiently produce plots.
Modeling orthotropic materials and composites has become a straightforward thing to do in ANSYS Mechanical 14.5. Here is a short outline of the steps needed to do just that.
Training Simulation of Turbulent Flows ANSYS Convergence User Group Meeting May 29, 2013 in Gothenburg
A number of enhancements have been made to improve the performance of the post-processor for cyclic symmetry models in ANSYS version 14.5. One of them is to display and animate results to only a fraction of the total model; consequently a fraction of the memory and computational expense is needed. Cyclic symmetry can for example be used on fan wheels and turbine blades, and is performed by dividing the model into N sectors, reducing the memory and computation time with 1/N when post-processing only a single sector. This can be a helpful tool when working on large models with small sector angels.
Previous editions of ANSYS Workbench had the opportunity of post-processing reaction forces and moments, however with limited options. In ANSYS 14.5 you are able to look at the reaction forces and moments anywhere on the geometry.
ANSYS 14.5 presents a new function that enables you to save your model in positions for post-processing purposes. The advantage is that you don’t need to be so careful when demonstrating your results since ANSYS now can memorize the perfect view for you. All you need to do is place your model in a desired position and save it.
Duplicating various conditions has been possible in previous editions of ANSYS. However, in ANSYS 14.5, this has been simplified where only a few steps are needed. This is a timesaving application where all the information regarding one item can be patterned onto multiple parts, maintaining all details. Not only does it apply to bolt pretension as will be demonstrated here, but to all loads, boundary conditions as well as mesh details.
Submodeling is a special feature in ANSYS 14.5 that previously was restricted to Mechanical APDL. The aim is to produce satisfactory results in a specific region where inaccurate results have been obtained. For instance, coarse mesh may not give sufficient accurate stress results. Therefore, by creating a submodel on the region of interest, new results may be achieved. In principal, the displacements calculated on the cut boundaries of the coarse model are mapped onto the submodel. Not only are more accurate results the benefit of this application, but also the possibility of experimenting with different designs for the region of interest. In addition, it helps you in demonstrating the dependency of mesh refinement. The mechanical application allows submodeling for structural (stress) and thermal analyses.

"The leadning ANSYS support in the Nordic region"
HPC is an abbreviation for high performance computing and introduces the concept of solving problems in parallel in order to reduce the simulation time. The computational power available to common users is rapidly evolving, giving the opportunities to solve complex simulations within reasonable time. Distribute the computational effort to several cores and thereby reduce the computational time significantly is a key advantage to quickly producing accurate results.
ANSYS Mechanical comes with many different licenses to choose from, and choosing the right one can be difficult. Therefore, a description of the most common licenses comes here:
If your engineering team is unable to set up a simulation problem and solve it simultaneously, you’re losing valuable time — time that could be spent beating competitors to market, engineering in new product features or addressing what-if questions. To support you in your efforts to reach greater productivity, ANSYS has developed a special cost-effective bundle.
EDR&Medeso are pleased to announce that we will be holding a series of CFD Webinars throughout the Fall/Winter
There is increasing interest in the use of CFD in the offshore industry – often connected to FEM analyses.

With release 14, ANSYS continues the development as an analysis tool which gives you ever greater possibilities to make analyses faster, easier and more reliable.
Accessing a history of variables is not supported in CFX, but is a frequently desired feature. The answer is most often to create your own Fortran routine. There is, however, a nifty set of simplified routines that can be called from within CEL functions. One of these, GET_VAR, allows us to retrieve the time derivative of a variable.
This article gives some workarounds for the error: Cannot open message catalog”1037libiomp5ui.dll”
Workbench has many useful functions which have not been utilized well. Update Project is one of them. According to its literal interpretation, Update Project intends to update all cells in the project that are in an update required state. It sounds quite plain and is ignored by a lot of Workbench users. In fact it is much more powerful than it looks like. With right settings, it helps us to do simulation in a smarter way. Here are detailed descriptions on some wonderful applications of it.

With the release of ANSYS Workbench 13.0 a new feature is presented: the “External Data” system which enables users to import data from external software/sources in text format into the Mechanical applications. The users can import an external file to describe temperatures, pressures, displacement (beta) or convection coefficients and apply it in a static structural, transient structural, steady state thermal, transient thermal or thermal-electric analysis. This article shows how to import and apply an external data file.
Microsoft Excel is probably the most popular calculation tool in engineering world. Therefore it is not strange that ANSYS Workbench can be connected to Excel. Even from early versions. The connection is strengthened in the latest release 13.0, and now Excel can be utilized in (at least) three different ways with Workbench: Export model information, Parametric study and Drive Workbench
This blog article is a summary of these three ways.

Many multiphase flows consist of two or more immiscible phases that are separated by distinct large-scale surfaces (e.g. free-surface flows), rather than being distributed in droplets or bubbles. Using VOF modeling, a single set of momentum equations is solved together with an equation for the volume fraction.
When using the pre/post and batch solver setup compared to using full licenses, some settings has to be done within ANSYS and maybe some changes in your working methodology. These settings and changes are described in this tutorial both for ANSYS Workbench and ANSYS Mechanical APDL.
During this seminar, you will be presented with the solutions offered for the Offshore, Marine and Renewable Energy Markets, and will have the opportunity to learn of the benefits and applicability of the various techniques through discussion and examples.

ANSYS Workbench Tutorial: How to send job to a remote computing server on which you have a different account or on which you have no account but your colleagues have? Here are detailed descriptions on how to run jobs under alternate accounts with RSM.
Dynamic meshing refers to situations in which the computational grid changes dynamically during the run of the CFD simulation. This opens up for the possibility to simulate flows where the geometry changes with time, e.g. flows around falling objects or internal combustion in cylinders.
Being able to estimate the erosive wear on piping, valves, probes etc. is of great importance in many industries. Erosion analyses can be performed for internal and external flows. Examples of internal flows include flows in pipes, valves, flow meters, etc., and external flows include erosion on protruding details, e.g. measuring probes, screw nuts, flow around pipes, etc.
