. How do I apply a harmonic displacement on a surface in a transient structural analysis?
Can I use a function or do I have to use a table? Is there an example I can refer to?
I have a given amplitude and frequency.

You can define it as a function in ANSYS. GUI pick: Parameter > Functions > Define/Edit Function Editor dialog pick (all buttons): SIN 2 * Function Editor dialog pick: Open the pulldown of ANSYS Primary Variables and select TIME Function Editor dialog pick: In the Results= entry region click after the last parenthesis to move the insert cursor there Function Editor dialog pick (all buttons): * 5 ENTER GRAPH Drag both dialog boxes off the graphics area if using the 3D driver Plot Information dialog box: X range of 0 to 6.3 and specify 50 points then OK. Review plot in graphic area then pick Close. Function Editor dialog pick: File > Save then specify the location and name then OK. To create the table parameter pick Parameters > Functions > Read From File then select the previously created file and Open. Enter a new Table parameter name (it should not be dimensioned so just enter the name) then OK. The number 2 in the example above affects the frequency and the 5 affects the amplitude. Section 2.6.15 of the "ANSYS Basic Analysis Guide - ANSYS Release 9.0" discusses the Function Editor. Once you read the func file into a table parameter you can use the table parameter as a load but you cannot edit it with the array editor tool or list it with *STATUS. |
