Ansys task 2
Assignment number 2-lab2(software based)

Procedure
we created a cylinder Preprocessor>modeling>create>volumes>cylinder>solid cylinder then
specifies the origin and rest of the information.
We specify the material properties as Preprocessor>material props>material models and select
isotropic and provide the modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ratio
Now select the element type as element type>add/edit/delete than click add and solid then varies
the element type.
Now the step of Meshing starts as Meshing>Mesh tool now select the divisions etc.
Now we are headed towards the solution phase as Solution>Analysis Type select as static
Now define the loads as structural loads. And we applied the pressure.
Solution done finally.

The comparison between the values from handwritten solution and the ansys solution is not
much.

Element type 20 nodes 186 node

Rest of the steps are same except the element type is changed to 20 node 186 and the
deformation is

And the solution is:

The comparison between handwritten and ansys with 20 nodes element type is much larger.

Comparison
HAND WRITTEN SOLUTION SAYS:
UX=300X10-6
UY=-2.4X10-6
UZ=-2.4X10-6
WITH BRICK 8 ELEMENT TYPE:
UX=0.299X10-3
UY=-0.186X10-5
UZ=-0.186X10-5
DIFFERENCE:
UX=0.001X10-3 UY=0.54X10-6 UZ=0.54X10-6
WITH NODE 20 186 ELEMENT TYPE:
UX=0.299X10-3
UY=-0.188X10-5
UZ=-0.186X10-5
DIFFERENCE
UX=0.001X10-3 UY=0.54X10-6 UZ=0.54X10-6
WITH NODE 10 TETRA AND 0.005 DIVIDIONS ELEMENT TYPE:
UX=0.29972X10-3
UY=-0.12151X10-5
UZ=-0.15785X10-5
DIFFERENCE:
UX=0.00028X10-3 UY=0.11849X10-6 UZ=0.08215X10-6
Difference and improved results.
In these analyses the difference between the readings. I find the best matches otherwise in case
of 4 node element type the differences was big and that can be improved if we increase the no of
divisions.
