2.1.2. Problem Description
This is a simple, single load step, structural static analysis of the corner angle bracket shown below. The upper left-hand pin hole is
constrained (welded) around its entire circumference, and a tapered pressure load is applied to the bottom of the lower right-hand
pin hole. The objective of the problem is to demonstrate the typical ANSYS analysis procedure. The US Customary system of units
is used.

2.1.2.1. Given
The dimensions of the corner bracket are shown in the accompanying figure. The bracket is made of A36 steel with a Youngs
modulus of 30E6 psi and Poissons ratio of .27.
2.1.2.2. Approach and Assumptions

Assume plane stress for this analysis. Since the bracket is thin in the z direction (1/2 inch thickness) compared to its x and y
dimensions, and since the pressure load acts only in the x-y plane, this is a valid assumption.
Your approach is to use solid modeling to generate the 2-D model and automatically mesh it with nodes and elements.
(Another alternative in ANSYS is to create the nodes and elements directly.)

There are several ways to create the model geometry within
ANSYS, some more convenient than others. The first step is
to recognize that you can construct the bracket easily with
combinations of rectangles and circle Primitives.

memory to the ANSYS database. Tosave that
database to a file, use the SAVE operation,
available as a tool on the Toolbar. ANSYS
names the database file using the format
jobname.db. If you started ANSYS using the
product launcher, you can specify a jobname at
that point (the default jobname is file). You can
check the current jobname at any time by
choosing Utility Menu> List> Status> Global
The area plot shows both rectangles, which are areas, in the
same color. To more clearly distinguish between areas, turn on
area numbers and colors. The "Plot Numbering Controls" dialog
box on the Utility Menu controls how items are displayed in the
Graphics Window. By default, a "replot" is automatically
performed upon execution of the dialog box. The replot
operation will repeat the last plotting operation that occurred (in
this case, an area plot).

Status. You can also save the database at

specific milestone points in the analysis
(suchas after the model is complete, orafter the
model is meshed) bychoosing Utility Menu>
File> Save As and specifying different
jobnames (model.db, or mesh.db, etc.).
It is important to do an occasional save so that
if you make a mistake, you can restore the
model from the last saved state. You restore
the model using the RESUME operation, also

available on the Toolbar. (Youcan also find
SAVE and RESUMEon the Utility Menu,

under File.)
4Utility Menu> WorkPlane> Display Working Plane (toggle
4. Toolbar: SAVE_DB.
2.1.3.3. Step 3: Change working plane to polar and

create first circle.
The next step in the model construction is to create the half
circle at each end of the bracket. You will actually create a full
circle on each end and then combine the circles and rectangles
with a Boolean "add" operation (discussed in step 5.). To create
the circles, you will use and display the working plane. You
could have shown the working plane as you created the
rectangles but it was not necessary.
Before you begin however, first "zoom out" within the
Graphics Window so you can see more of the circles as you
create them. You do this using the "Pan-Zoom-Rotate" dialog
box, a convenient graphics control box youll use often in any
ANSYS session.
1Utility Menu> PlotCtrls> Pan, Zoom, Rotate
2Click on small dot once to zoom out.
3Close dialog box.

Note
While you are positioning the cursor for picking, the
"dynamic" WP X and Y values are displayed in the
Solid Circular Area dialog box. Also, as an alternative
to picking, you can type these values along with the
radius into the dialog box.
2.1.3.4. Step 4: Move working plane and create second

circle.
To create the circle at the other end of the bracket in the same
manner, you need to first move the working plane to the origin
of the circle. The simplest way to do this without entering
number offsets is to move the WP to an average keypoint

2.1.3.5. Step 5: Add areas.
Now that the appropriate pieces of the model are defined
(rectangles and circles), you need to add them together so the

coarser mesh than with lower-order elements while still

maintaining solution accuracy. Also, ANSYS will generate some
triangle shaped elements in the mesh that would otherwise be
inaccurate if you used lower-order elements (PLANE42). You
will need to specify plane stress with thickness as an option for
PLANE82. (You will define the thickness as a real constant in
the next step.)
2.1.4.3. Step 15: Define element types and options.

In any analysis, you need to select from a library of element
types and define the appropriate ones for your analysis.

For this analysis, you will use only one element type, PLANE82,
which is a 2-D, quadratic, structural, higher-order element. The
choice of a higher-order element here allows you to have a
2Add an element type.

2.1.5. Generate Mesh
2.1.5.1. Step 17: Mesh the area.
One nice feature of the ANSYS program is that you can
automatically mesh the model without specifying any mesh size
controls. This is using what is called a default mesh. If youre
not sure how to determine the mesh density, let ANSYS try it
first! Meshing this model with a default mesh however,
generates more elements than are allowed in the ANSYS ED
program. Instead you will specify a global element size to
control overall mesh density.
1Main Menu>

3Type in 0.5.
4OK.
5Choose Area Meshing.
6Click on Mesh.
7Pick All for the area to be meshed (in picking menu). Close any
warning messages that appear.

2.1.6.2. Step 20: Apply pressure load.
8Apply.
9Enter 500 for VALUE.
10Enter 50 for optional value.
11OK.
Now apply the tapered pressure load to the bottom, right-hand

pin hole. ("Tapered" here means varying linearly.) Note that
when a circle is created in ANSYS, four lines define the
perimeter. Therefore, apply the pressure to two lines making up
the lower half of the circle. Since the pressure tapers from a
maximum value (500 psi) at the bottom of the circle to a
minimum value (50 psi) at the sides, apply pressure in two
separate steps, with reverse tapering values for each line.

2Pick line defining bottom left part ofthe circle (line 6).
3Apply.
4Enter 50 for VALUE.
5Enter 500 for optional value.
6Apply.
7Pick line defining bottom right part of circle (line 7).

ANSYS stores the results of this one load step problem in the
database and in the results file, Jobname.RST (or Jobname.RTH
for thermal, Jobname.RMG for magnetic, and Jobname.RFL for
fluid analyses). The database can actually contain only one set of
results at any given time, so in a multiple load step or multiple
substep analysis, ANSYS stores only the final solution in the
database. ANSYS stores all solutions in the results file.

When exiting the ANSYS program, you can save the geometry
and loads portions of the database (default), save geometry,

loads, and solution data (one set of results only), save geometry,
loads, solution data, and postprocessing data (i.e., save
everything), or save nothing. You can save nothing here, but you
should be sure to use one of the other save options if you want to
keep the ANSYS data files.

Congratulations! You have completed this tutorial.

Even though you have exited the ANSYS program, you can
still view animations using the ANSYS ANIMATE program.
The ANIMATE program runs only on the PC and is extremely
useful for:
z
Viewing ANSYS animations on a PC regardless of
whether the files were created on a PC (AVI files) or on
a UNIX workstation (ANIM files).
Converting ANIM files to AVI files.

zz
Sending animations over the web.
