ANSYS Tutorial 1 Static Structural Analysis of 2D & 3D Tensile Specimens

This document outlines procedures for performing static structural analysis on 2D and 3D tensile specimens made of aluminum alloy using ANSYS Workbench 16.0. The analysis is conducted to determine maximum deflection and von-Mises stresses from an applied 1000N load. For the 2D model, the maximum deformation is 0.278mm and maximum stress is 204MPa. For the 3D model, the maximum deformation is 0.023mm and maximum stress is 17.43MPa. Results are presented in figures showing stress and deformation distributions.

ANSYS Tutorial 1

Static Structural Analysis of 2D & 3D Tensile Specimens

Aim: To determine maximum deflection and von-mises stresses induced in 2D & 3D tensile
specimens made of aluminum alloy for an applied load of 1000 N. The specimen dimensions
can be taken as per ASTM E8 standards as shown below.

Software Package used: ANSYS Workbench 16.0

Design Modeler tools: Profile, Line, Arc by 3 points, Copy, Paste, Surface from Sketch,
Extrude.

Procedure for 2D Analysis

1. Open ANSYS Workbench 16.0 and create a standalone Static Structural Analysis
system.
2. Go to Engineering Data > Engineering Data Sources > General Materials > Add
Aluminum Alloy > Exit.
3. Go to Geometry Properties > Change the analysis type to 2D in advanced geometry
options.
4. Go to Geometry > In the Design Modeler window, go to Modeling tab in tree outline >
select XY Plane and click on Look at.
5. Go to Sketching tab > Set the graphics window to desired area > Change the unit system
to Millimeters.

6. Using the tools Profile, Line, Arc by 3 points, Copy and Paste, finish the Sketch 1 as
shown in the figure.
7. Go to Concept > Surface from Sketches > Select Base Object as Sketch 1 > Click Apply
> Specify thickness as 0.5mm > Generate > Rename the Surface body to Tensile
Specimen > Close Design Modeler.
8. Go to Model > Geometry > Material Assignment > Choose Aluminum Alloy.
9. Go to Mesh > Switch off advanced sizing function > Specify element size as 1mm >
Generate mesh.
10. Go to Static Structural > Fixed Support > Pick edge tool from Selection toolbar > Select
the end edges that needs to be fixed > Apply.
11. Go to Static Structural > Loads > Force > Select the opposite edge where force is
applied > Change definition from Vector to Components > Specify the Magnitude in X
direction as 1000 N > Magnitude in Y direction as 0 N > Apply.
12. Go to Solution > Deformation > Total Deformation.
13. Go to Solution > Stress > Equivalent Stress (von-Mises).
14. Click on Solve.

Procedure for 3D Analysis

1. Repeat the steps 1 and 2, change the analysis type to 3D in geometry properties.
2. Go to geometry > Repeat the steps 4, 5 and 6 > Extrude the Sketch 1 upto 6mm to
generate 3D solid specimen > Close the Design Modeler.
3. Repeat the steps 8 to 14 to finish the static structural analysis of 3D specimen. Instead
of edge selection, choose face selection from selection toolbar and apply boundary
conditions on end faces while doing 3D analysis.

Result:
For a 2D tensile specimen made of aluminum alloy, the results obtained are as follows.
1. The maximum deformation obtained is 0.278 mm.
2. The maximum von-mises stress induced in the specimen is 204 Mpa.
For a 3D tensile specimen made of aluminum alloy, the results obtained are as follows.
1. The maximum deformation obtained is 0.023 mm.
2. The maximum von-mises stress induced in the specimen is 17.43 Mpa.
Maximum stresses and deformations induced areas are shown in the figures.
