Yes thank you very much for taking the time to make these videos. You are helping people all over the world that are trying to learn and school just doesn't cut it when there are professors that really can't teach. Love these videos and I'm on a video marathon taking in all this knowledge. Please keep making videos. So useful
+DrDalyO It amazing that how a person take out time for others in this busy world and shares his knowledge with others. Thank you on behalf of my all classmates in uni.
Thanks Dr.DalyO much appreciated and very helpful video. I used a remote force and adjusted the coordinate system to place the force at the center and got similar results, without having to split the face.
Thanks for your time and effort of sharing your knowledge to the world. Excellent..I'm thrilled every seconds on video, what's new knowledge i can learn.
I will add one byte of knowledge into this fourm and that is Adding cells in the thickness actually increase the softness and make structure little softer then in real life and this is the reason why changing global size parameter to 0.8 increased the stress and deflection because it artificially soften the beam The solution to this is to use not more then 4 cells across the thickness On the contrary using tetrahedron across thickness makes beam stiff and thus artificially reduce the stress and deflection
Dear Dr. DalyO I wonder if you can help to predict the collapse load in a simply supported beam and a cantilever beam by using ansys . Looking forward to hearing from you. Omar
+Galloper What do you mean the collapse load? you mean ultimate tensile strength? that would just be when the stress in the FEA reaches the limit of the material your using. So for example basic steel has a yield at 250MPa and ultimate at 500MPa, so load the model until your stress reaches this value, but if its a simple problem you could just calculate it by hand would be faster. Missing some details here, please give me more information. Thanks for watching!
DrDalyo, thank you very much for your reply, collapse load is the load at which the beam fails. in other words, below this load the still safe,at and may be after this load the beam gonna collapse. I did the analytical solution and I just wanted to verify my results. Looking forward to hearing from you
+Galloper So then it is as i stated before, depending on your materials ultimate limit, it will fail at that point. so if your UTS is 500MPa, and the stress in ANSYS reaches that value, the material will completely fail.
+DrDalyO that was a good point to start with, also I wanna add the following. A structure may completely fail even well before yielding is reached. For some, buckling stresses may well below the yield stress. Thus the users have to calculate the "failing point", which takes into account the all possible failure modes, and compare the stress from ANSYS with that value.
@DrDaylo, I would like to ask that do you have any video in which you have simulated failure of a material when the load reaches the ultimate limit of that particular material?
It may be a simple question but I was wondering why did you not choose to slice the body in order to apply the load at center. I have thin stacked beam-like filaments that I would like to keep fixed from the center to avoid adding weak springs when I apply moment in the Z-axis. And I thought the easiest way for me would be to create a plane offset to the center of the stacked beams and use the slice command. I realize that this causes the bodies to be separated but if I use the Bonded condition, I hope to get a result similar to a uniform stack of beams ...is this a correct approach?
i have a composite material in spaceclaim and i want to bend test it , should i make the load and fixed geometry and also mesh it in spce claim then transfer in mecheanical model and then direct into structural model updating the engineering data and then defining the loads and force bars in the static structural..
very useful video. I have a small doubt, How do I check stress on the body at specific point after the analysis, If i use Probe to check the results, I am not able to check at exact required location.
+Pavan Agarwal you can create Construction Geometry, where you can then create lines and planes, from there you can scope results based on lines or planes. If you want just a node or element, using the newer versions of ansys you can click to show mesh, and use node or element selection tools to select the node or element, then create a named selection, and then in results use the named selection as the scope. Hope this helps!
Hi DrDalyo, please, send me example of simply supported beam under two points loads with span 2400mm and two loads are far 450mm from right and left support and distance between two loads 1500mm
Hi... have you ever tried to do this FEA with a C channel section? It doesn't work because of singularity issues... is there any soluyion to this kind of problems? Thanks...
Why does your deflection look symmetric when the support you applied have unsymmetric properties? I.E the fixed support prevents rotation. Why are you using a fixed support at all when the beam is simply supported?
Hi, excellent video, I have a question, in my degree thesis I have to place a force that varies in time, as I could put it, I'm doing a simulation of the tension test Thank you
Sir I did not understand the convergence concept.....can u help me out in it??Like i did not understand the relation between the allowable change that we specify and the results we get after convergence....
I have a question if we apply force by selecting 2 surface then the magnitude of force on both surfaces gets divided into half as of input value on each surface?
You could split the face geometry at the bottom to make a line, and then apply a displacement boundary condition making the vertical and lateral condition 0, and only allow for horizontal (FREE). This depends how you set up your axes.
Is this using 3D beam elements, I have to do something similar for 1D beam elements; would these be sketching a line and using a cross section as opposed to sketching a rectangle and extruding?
+Liam Owens yes you could sketch a line and create a line body with an applied cross section, it would give very similar results and use less computing resources. See my video on linear buckling, i believe i use a line body. Also my video on a bridge i believe. Let me know if you have any other questions
+Justin Prendeville good question. No not really. Instead of applying a load, you can apply a "displacement" and then check the reaction forces to get an idea. Or you can do the trial and error but by using "parameters" so it will do it automatically
+akram shaikh good question, cylinder would not be as easy. 1) simplify the problem and use a line body with a cylinder cross section and use similar boundary condition as this video. For how to do this, check my new linear buckling tutorial. 2) add two thin flat square plates at the ends of your cylindrical beam, then apply similar constraints. This should not affect the results near the center of the beam. 3) you can use Remote Displacement constraints on the cylinder edge, say left BC, constrain in Y, X, Z and the right BC only in Y, Z. Not sure of the results but you can play around with using the cylinder edge or adding BC to specific elements or nodes near your support. You might get singularities but you can just ignore them if your focus is near the center. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching. Drdalyo
How would I apply a point load at x distance from one end for a 1D beam? I understand how to do this for 3D beams, but not 1D. I've tried adding construction points to my line sketch, however when I go to add a force, it only allows me to select to the two points at the very end of the beam, and the point I've added isn't visible. Reason why I ask for 1D, is that for my assignment, I have to analysis a simply supported beam with a UDL and two point loads by doing 1D analysis first and then 3D analysis and compare the results. Also, can you explain your choice for the supports used? I thought a simply supported beam had a pinned support on one side and then a roller support on the other, however I can't find these support options in ANSYS 17. Cheers.
bro, i applied force as you did. but , don't know why the force direction is acting along the edge. if i change direction, force just flips along the edge. how do i change the direction to become perpendicular to the face ? SO, i first applied force on face in downward direction. then, edited it and changed geometry to the edge and its direction remained the downwards.
+DrDalyO, how can we find shear force diagram and moment diagram from this? I know how to do for a line body case. Is it possible here? Or else, is it possible to find avg shear force on a section?
Hi Sir, first of all thanks for your sharing knowledge, really appreciate it. One quick question, I'm doing exactly the same case as yours but in 2D, thin-shell elements type. I was wondering that would i just be sketching the 2D surface and define the shell mesh in order to obtain less computational time and more accurate result or there is some other change should be made during this method? Thank you
+Piyabut Tangjitmanngamkul Your much better off using Beam elements, not shell. Draw a single line in modeler and then create a line out of it, then apply a crossection to that line (in modeler). So in this case it will be a square section, then apply the thickness/dimensions.
Please tell me how to fix this error.."AN unknown error occurred during solution. Check the Solver Output on the Solution Information object for possible causes".???
I am facing a small hurdle, why is it that if I set both the ends as fixed and simulate .... im getting inconclusive stress results or any result for that matter. btw, thanks for the amazing tutorials .... I strive on them man :D
hello sir, if i import model from another software (creo) like complicated assembly and now i have to apply center load HOW i can split it,or there is any other video, or give any other idea about to add small surface there.(i added in creo but mesh failed in ansys actually that surface can't mesh) so please help me thank you
Hello Sir. Thanks for your useful video clip. Do you have a video lesson about analysis Simply supported beam-center load for long-term load? If you know how to analysis please kindly to share, thanks. Best regard!
Hello, how can we download file? I clicked it but can not download... it keeps asking that something is added to Chrome, but even after it is added it does not allow me to download.Thanks.
Your model is not correct: if you lower the allowable change convergence percentage to 0.01% you will see that your model does not converge and so contains singularities and so is not valid... please check and let me know your findings
thank you very much for your video it very helpful am from sudan would you make simply supported RC beam am knew to ansys and i couldn't find helper for ansys here in khartoum anyway thanks
+DrDalyO Since there are many people interested in learning how to create the model (geometry) as well, it'd be very appreciated if you could please show step by step in these first videos to get us familiar with ANSYS. Later videos, maybe we can focus more about other things

The only that I can say is THANQ so much from the bottom of my heart
Your welcomee!!
@@drdalyo sir can you post a video or link of video for finding the failure load for the beam by using ansys.its urgent (for my project)
u r a perfect educator man u helped alot of students including me first but stop saying BASICALLY ALL THE TIME DUDE
Thank you DRDarlyO for this informative video ....plz make another video of two point load of simply supported beam
Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial .
you can select the middle nodes for applying the load without having to change the geometry
Yes! On the newer versions of Ansys you could!
Thanks mate, for part I too.
but using the cross section over line don't let us to have factor of safety and shear stress. although shows shear forces and max combined stresses
Really helpful...Thank you man
You're welcome!
Great Tutorial
Thank you sir!
Best tutorial ever. Thanks x100000000

Remarkable video.I have a small question.How do i check moment at a specific location.
read the comment of Drdalyo same procedure
alslam alakam
please sir, why the normal stress in the upper compression and lower tension is not equal in magnitude.
why u don't use the lines creates from points and then cross section is applied to that and results are shown using beam tool
You could do that, it would be a simpler way of solving the same problem. This way just shows you more detail.
@@drdalyo thanks Dr.

Hi it should work without issues
this video is very useful
thanks a lot for this video , please can you do analysis and stresses results for tappered I section beam (airplane spar(titanium) ?
Did we have to split the face? why wasn't the offset edge enough to appl the force B.C.?
You could also apply an offset force if you like. I did a split face because it was more visual.
Why does your deflection look symmetric when the support you applied have unsymmetric properties? I.E the fixed support prevents rotation. Why are you using a fixed support at all when the beam is simply supported?
hello, can you make videos on channel section 3 point load and 4 point load
At center u applied load on line. Is it possible to apply load on particular area of that face sir?

You can use node selection tool, and select the node, right click and create named selection. Then apply the force to that named selection.
hi there, good job but i have a question, how can we evaluate the bending angle on the middle of the beam
? and thanks (:
Really good video. Congrats. Do you work with plates or sandwich plates?
I did exactly the same, but when I go to modeling, the edge I created does not appear
Are you doing it in spaceclaim or design modeler?
Sir..can we apply "pressure" instead of "force" at the top sirface as a boundary condition ?
How to add roller support within the beam
You could split the face geometry at the bottom to make a line, and then apply a displacement boundary condition making the vertical and lateral condition 0, and only allow for horizontal (FREE). This depends how you set up your axes.
I dont get one thing. When you refinned the mesh, from 10 mm to 8 mm, the results got distance from the analict result. Why did that happen?
