1. From the File menu, select Open. 2. Browse to the file <installation_directory>\tutorials\hm\interfaces\ansys\chapter2_1.hm . 3. Click Open or double-click the file name. 4. Click on the Shaded elements & Mesh Lines icon in the toolbar, if not already set.
Step 3: Add the element type

1. On the Utility Menu, click on ANSYS Tools and then click ET Type. The ET Type dialog appears. 2. Click on New.... The Create ETType dialog appears. 3. Initially the ET Type Number is set to 1. The next time you want to create another element type, it sets the number automatically to (n+1). 4. From the Element type drop down menu select SHELLS and then SHELL63 element. SHELL63 has both bending and membrane capabilities. Both in-plane and normal loads are permitted. The element has six degrees of freedom at each node: translations in the nodal x, y, and z directions and rotations about the nodal x, y, and z-axes. Stress stiffening and large deflection capabilities are included. 5. Click Create. The element type Shell63 is created. Click on Create/Edit if you want to simulate the element stiffness, set the stress stiffening option, extra displacement shapes, extra stress output, pressure loading, mass matrix, stress stiffness matrix, define the element coordinate system and specify the data storage using the respective keyopts. 6. Now the ET Type Number is set to 2. From the Element type drop down menu, select MASS and then MASS21 element. 7. Click on Create/Edit. In the card image, toggle the kopt3 option to 2-D mass without rotary inertia. Then, click return. MASS21 is a point element having up to six degrees of freedom: translations in the nodal x, y, and z directions and rotations about the nodal x, y, and z axes. A different mass and rotary inertia may be assigned to each coordinate direction. 8. Click on Close to exit the Create ETType dialog. 9. Click on Close to exit the ET Type dialog.
Step 4: Apply the real constants for the elements of the model
1. On the Utility Menu, click on ANSYS Tools and then click the Real Sets button in the toolbar. 2. Click on the New button. The Create Real Sets dialog pops up. Initially the Real set number is set to 1. The next time you create an element type, the number is automatically set to (n+1). 3. From Element type drop down menu select SHELLS and then SHELL63 element. 4. Click on the Create/Edit button. 5. The property card image for the Shell63 element is displayed. In the TKI (1) field, enter 10 units. This indicates shell element thickness value at node I. Note: If the element has a constant thickness, only TKI (1) needs be input. If there is a variable thickness, you need to specify TKJ (2), TKK (3) and TKL (4). 6. Click return. 7. The Real set number is set to 2. Using steps 3 through 6, create the Shell63 element type for 5 units. 8. The Real set number is set to 3. From Element type drop down menu, select MASS and then MASS21 element.
9. Click on the Create/Edit button. The property card image for the MASS21 element is displayed. 10. Toggle the kopt3 option to 2-D mass without rotary inertia. In the MASS (1) field, enter 0.001. 11. Click return. 12. Click Close to exit the Create Real Sets dialog. 13. Click on Close to exit the Real Sets dialog.
Step 5: Apply the material properties for the elements of the model
1. On the Utility Menu, click the Material button. The Material dialog opens. 2. Click on the New button. The Create Material dialog opens. Initially the Material set number is set to 1. The next time you create a material, the number is automatically set to (n+1). 3. In the Material name: field, enter Steel. 4. Leave the material type set as MP, and click on Create/Edit. 5. In the card image, activate the EX _FLAG and NUXY_FLAG checkboxes. EX_FLAG indicated the Youngs Modulus and NUXY_FLAG indicates the Poissons Ratio 6. In the MP, EX field, enter 2.1E5. 7. In the MP, NUXY field, enter 0.3. 8. Click return. 9. Click Close to exit the Create Material dialog. 10. Click Close to exit the Material dialog.
Step 6: Update each component with the respective element type

1. On the Utility Menu, click the Component Manager button. 2. From the Table drop down menu, activate the Editable option. This enables you to edit the contents of the table containing the component information. 3. In Assign values field, select ET Ref. No.. This will list all the element types loaded to the model. 4. For the component Base row, click on the column ET Ref No. so that the entire row gets highlighted. Toggle the button before Set to 1-SHELL63, if not already set. 5. Click on Set. The message "Do you want to change the ET Ref. No.?" pops up. Click on Yes. The component Base is updated with Et Ref. No. as 1 and the ET Type as SHELL63 6. Repeat step 4 for component Rib. The component Rib is updated with Et Ref. No. as 1 and the ET Type as SHELL63 7. Select the component Mass row. Keeping the Assign values field set to ET Ref. No., toggle the other button to 2-MASS21. 8. Click on Set. The message "Do you want to change the ET Ref. No.?" pops up. Click on Yes. The component Mass is updated with Et Ref. No. as 2 and the ET Type as MASS21. The CERIG defines a rigid region (link, area or volume) by automatically generating constraint equations to relate nodes in the region. Hence no element type is required.
Step 7: Update each component with the respective real constants

1. In the Assign values field, select Real Set No.. This will list all the Real Constants loaded to the model.
2. For the component Base row, click on the column Real Set No. so that the entire row gets highlighted. Toggle the button before Set to 1-SHELL63. 3. Click on Set. The message "Do you want to change the Real Set. No.?" pops up. Click on Yes. The component Base is updated with Real Set. No. as 1. The 1-SHELL63 real constant has the thickness of 10 units already defined. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for component Rib, but make sure you toggle it to 2-SHELL63. The component Rib is updated with Real Set No. as 2-SHELL63. The 2-SHELL63 real constant has the thickness of 5 units already defined. 5. Select the component Mass row. Keeping the Assign Values field set to Real Set. No., toggle the other button to 3-MASS21. 6. Click on Set. The message "Do you want to change the Real Set. No.?" pops up. Click on Yes. The component Mass is updated with Real Set No. as 3.
Step 8: Update each component with the respective material properties

1. Set the Assign values option to Mat Set No.. This will list all the material properties loaded to the model. 2. While holding the Control button down, click on the rows Base, Rib and Mass so that all three rows become highlighted. 3. Toggle the button before Set to the 1-Steel option, if not already set. 4. Click on Set. The message "Do you want to change the Mat Set No.?" pops up. Click on Yes. The component Base, Rib and Mass is updated with Mat Set No. as 1. 5. From the Table drop down menu, select Quit to exit the window. 6. To save the model, click on the File drop down menu and click on Save As. 7. In the File name: field, enter exercise2A.hm and click on Save. Proceed to Exercise 2 to apply boundary conditions and create load steps.
Exercise 2
Introduction to ANSYS Load Steps
This exercise introduces the concept of ANSYS load steps in HyperMesh. In HyperMesh, you need to have each load or constraints in a separate load collector (load cols). With the help of these load collectors, you can create the multiple load steps depending on the requirement. The combination of loads with constraints forms a load step. If you have created load steps in the model, then the exported *.cdb file will have all the load step information. This *.cdb file when imported into ANSYS, automatically creates the *.so files in the working directory which can be used later if needed. In this tutorial, you will learn how to: Load the ANSYS user profile. Retrieve the HyperMesh model file for this tutorial. Create constraints load collector. Apply the constraints to the model. Apply the force on mass elements with force1 load collector. Apply the force on mass elements with force2 load collector. Apply the force on mass elements with force3 load collector. Create multiple load steps.
