The Eigenvalue Buckling analysis in Workbench takes the results of a Static Structural analysis and calculates the load multiplier that would cause a structural buckling. If in the Static Structural analysis, loads and gravity are applied together to take into account the self-weight of the structure, then the buckling multiplier would also ‘multiply’ the gravity, … Continue reading Two workflows for the buckling analysis of a structure subject to gravity in Ansys

Layered Composite Modeling using Ansys ACP – A Wind Turbine Blade
A wind turbine blade is a long, hollow structural component made of composite material. Due to its slender nature, it is important to conduct a buckling design test to prevent such failure in service. This post illustrates how to use Ansys ACP to set up composite materials and apply them to wind turbine blade buckling … Continue reading Layered Composite Modeling using Ansys ACP – A Wind Turbine Blade
Drop Test Simulation using Transient Structural Analysis in ANSYS
This post originates from a project validating the drop test experiment (see Figure 1) in a case study—Analytical and Experimental Study on Drop Test of Electronic Devices (Lamar University, 2021)—using Transient Structural analysis in ANSYS. Figure 1. The drop test set-up. There are several important questions to ask before the simulation: For this drop test … Continue reading Drop Test Simulation using Transient Structural Analysis in ANSYS
Analysis of the strength of rotor punching under centrifugal force
Rotor core punching Rotating machinery can withstand significant centrifugal force during operation. Therefore, the strength of a rotor punching should be analyzed. This problem was solved using Workbench. Considering the periodicity of the rotor punching and load, a 1/8 model was created and cyclic symmetric boundaries were defined. The model consists of a rotor punching … Continue reading Analysis of the strength of rotor punching under centrifugal force
