ANSYS Convergence

The document provides step-by-step instructions for performing an adaptive mesh refinement static structural analysis in Workbench 12.1. It describes how to import a geometry, generate an initial mesh, apply loads and boundary conditions, set solution parameters like convergence criteria, solve the model, and review stress results on the adapted mesh.

Start an Static structural


analysis and then import an
geometry. Then open the
model by double clicking on
Model

After the model window


appears click on mesh

Click on Update to create


the mesh.

When you have clicked on


mesh you can see the
properties in this menu. It is
possible to refine the mesh by
changing Relevance

After clicking the update


bottom the mesh will appear.

Click on Analysis settings


and then choose the menu
Loads

In the Loads menu click on


"Force"

Select the surface. When the


surface is selected it will
appear as green. After that
click on Apply

Insert 1000 N.

Then rotate the body so it


is possible to select the
opposite surface.

Then insert a Fixed support

Select the surface and click


on Apply

Now the surface is fixed.

Click on Solution and


then on Stress in the top
menu.

Select Equilvalent (von-Mises)

Right click on equilvalent


stress and click insert and
select Convergence.

Now click on convergense and select 1%.


This allows a maximum change in
solution of 1%.

Like this.

Then select Solution

Set the Max refinement


Loops to 10.

Then click on Solve

Click on Convergence when


the solve process is running. It
is now possible to follow the
convergence history.

When the solver is finished


click on Equivalent stress
and then select Show
Elements

Now the mesh from the last


solution is shown.
