1 Course in ANSYS Example Plate with a hole A Objective: Determine the maximum stress in the x-direction for point A and display the deformation figure Tasks: Create a submodel to increase the accuracy of the FEA without increasing the computational effort significantly? Topics: Element type, Real constants, modeling, mapped mesh, plot results, output graphics, path operations, submodeling E = N/mm2 n = 0.3 a = 200mm b = 100mm t = 10mm r = 10mm 2 s = 100N/mm 2 1

2 Steps in Submodeling The process for using submodeling is as follows: Create and analyze the coarse model. Create the submodel. Perform cut boundary interpolation (CBI). Analyze the submodel. Verify that the distance between the cut boundaries and the stress concentration is adequate. 3 Example - title Utility Menu > File > Change Jobname /jobname, _coarse GUI Command line entry Enter: _coarse Utility Menu > File > Change Title /title, Plate with a hole Enter: Plate with a hole 4 2
