Defining a new material in Ansys


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey guys,

 

Been pulling my hair out over here searching the internet and Ansys help.

 

How on earth do i define a new material using ansys 13? I can get about as far as naming the material, but defining the properties is beyond me. Can anyone give me a good step by step guide to doing this?

 

Any help would be VERY much appreciated at this stage.

 

Regards,

 

Seth.

The question was referring to Ansys 13. Not Autocad LT.

Thank you for pointing that out. I was not aware you were referring to an engineering simulation product. My apologies.

 

Maybe you can get some assistance with your problem at this forum: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ansys/

Sorry for not making it clearer in my original post bud. :)

No need to apologize. I should have paid closer attention to what you were asking.

 

As my way of atoning for that mistake I offer the following. It is a link to a 132 page tutorial for Ansys release 12.1. If you go to the Table of Contents on page 3 and look under the section labeled 2. Structural Tutorial you'll see the following entry: 2.1.4 Define Materials. Perhaps this will be of some use to use. The link......

Thanks for being so helpful. I'll check it out in the morning, it's 11.30 here, so bed time.

Sure thing. Be sure to check out page 30 which covers setting preferences and defining material properties.

sbro238: Have you had a chance to look at the tutorial? If so, was it of any value?

What is this ANSYS 13 program, a FEA program?

I guess you could call it FEA, technically I think they call it simulation software. I am not sure if there is a difference or not.
