How to... define Table in material properties - Piecewise Linear in Ansys Fluent

on

 An important element of the analysis is the ability to define variable material properties depending, for example, on temperature. The Ansys Fluent program offers many options that will allow us to model the material in this way. One such feature is Piecewise Linear.

Table definition by Piecewise Linear Option in Ansys Fluent 

The first step is to open up Material Properties in Ansys Fluent. Double-click on the material you want to edit. Then, from the drop-down list, eg Cp (Specific Heat), select the Piecewise-Linear option. You can see the selection of such an option in the picture below.

After selecting Piecewise Linear press the Edit key (red frame). A window will appear in which we define the number of points in which our parameter will be defined (in our case Cp 6 points - blue frame). At six temperature points, we will define the value of the Cp parameter. In the green frame, we define what variable will be displayed on the X axis (according to which we will define Cp). In our case, we will base our Heat Capacity variable on temperature thresholds. Of course, we can define various variants of variables, we do not have to limit ourselves only to temperature. In the black box, we define values for both the Cp parameter and the temperature for each of the six reference points. In the yellow frame, we have a preview of our current variable on the X axis and its maximum and minimum values defined by us.

In the case of defining anisotropic materials (variable conductivity depending on the direction of conduction), here we also have the option of making our variable (in this case, conductivity) dependent on temperature. Below you can see what the definition of Piecewise Linear looks like with the Cyl-Orthotropic set up.

Types of supports and examples - Ansys Static Structural

Supports are used to represent parts that are not present in the model but are interacting with it. Supports help truncate the domain, which helps in efficiently obtaining numerically accurate results without modeling parts of the geometry that are not of primary interest. There are different types of support available, among which you need to choose the appropriate one for your analysis. Here are some of the common types of supports and their explanations: - **Fixed Support**: This type of support constrains all the degrees of freedom of the selected entity (body, face, or edge). It means that the entity cannot move or rotate in any direction. Fixed support is equivalent to applying zero displacement to all directions. Fixed support is useful for modeling rigid connections or supports that do not allow any movement. For example, you can use fixed support to model a bolted joint or a clamped beam. - **Displacement Support**: This type of support specifies a zero or non-zero displacemen

How to... fix "gui-domain-label: no domain selected" in Ansys Fluent and MEMERR in CFX

In today's post, we will deal with another error that may occur during the analysis. The error that is described below concerns Fluent and the wrong definition of user monitors that are displayed during simulation. These can be monitors concerning the average velocity in the domain volume, the values of the maximum temperatures of the solid domains, the average values of the heat transfer coefficient from the defined planes of the model, etc. Generally speaking, today's entry is about how to correctly define monitors and how to transfer them between subsequent analyzes.

Quick Tip: How to fix Error: GENERAL-CAR-CDR in Ansys (Fluent)

 The error message Error: GENERAL-CAR-CDR: invalid argument [1]: improper list means that there is a problem with the scheme code or the UDF (user-defined function) in your case or data file . Some possible solutions are: Save the case and data file and try to reopen it. Reset the Fluent Setup tab and try opening the mesh. Remesh the geometry and reopen in Fluent. Change the material definition from “Solid” to “Fluid” in Design Modeler. Change the transient to steady if you are using evaporation-condensation as the phase interaction mechanism. Check the syntax of your UDF and make sure it follows the new rules in Fluent 6.2.16 or later. I hope this helps you resolve the error.

How to define Joint in Ansys Static Structural and examples to use

  Joint boundary condition is a type of connection element that allows you to model the relative motion and interaction between two or more bodies in a structural analysis. Joint boundary condition can be used to simulate various types of joints, such as revolute, cylindrical, spherical, planar, slot, universal, and fixed joints. Joint boundary condition can also be used to apply loads and moments to the connected bodies. To use joint boundary condition in Ansys Static Structural, you need to follow these steps: In the Model tree, right-click Connections and select Insert > Joint. In the Details view, select the type of joint you want to create from the drop-down list. In the Geometry section, select the two or more bodies that you want to connect with the joint. You can also specify the location and orientation of the joint coordinate system (JCS) using the options available. In the Definition section, specify the degrees of freedom (DOF) that you want to allow or restrict for the
