Solution Phase: Assigning Loads and Solving You have now defined your model. It is now time to apply the load(s) and constraint(s) and solve the resulting system of equations.
1. Define Analysis Type o Ensure that a Static Analysis will be performed o Preprocessor >Loads > Analysis Type > New Analysis > select Static > Ok.
2. Apply Constraints As shown previously, the left end of the plate is fixed.
Preprocessor > Define Loads > Apply > Structural > Displacement > On Lines > Using Mouse Select the left end vertical line of the plate > click on 'Apply' in the window > Ok
This location is fixed which means that all DOF's are constrained. Therefore, select 'All DOF' by clicking on it and enter '0' in the Value field as shown above.
You will see some blue triangles in the graphics window indicating the displacement constraints.

3. Apply Loads
o As shown in the diagram, there is a load of 20N/mm distributed on the right hand side of the plate. Calculate the pressure on the plate end by dividing the distributed load by the thickness of the plate (1 N/mm2).
Solution > Define Loads > Apply > Structural > Pressure > On Lines > Using Mouse Select the right end vertical line of the plate > click on 'Apply' in the window
o Fill in the "Apply PRES on lines" window as shown below > Ok.
The pressure is uniform along the surface of the plate; therefore the last field is left blank. The pressure is acting away from the surface of the plate, and is therefore defined as a negative pressure.

Ex. No. : 19 THERMAL STRESS ANALYSIS OF A 2D COMPONENT – STATIC
Date :
(a) Analysis
AIM: To determine the thermal stress of a given component using FEA based ANSYS software. PROCEDURE:
A steel link, with no internal stresses, is pinned between two solid structures at a
reference temperature of 273 K. One of the solid structures is heated to a temperature of 348 K. As heat is transferred from the solid structure into the link, the link will attempt to expand. However, since it is pinned this cannot occur and as such, stress is created in the link. A steady-state solution of the resulting stress will be found to simplify the analysis. Loads will not be applied to the link, only a temperature change of 348 K. The link is steel with a modulus of elasticity of 200 GPa, a thermal conductivity of 60.5 W/m*K and a thermal expansion coefficient of 12e-6 /K. Preprocessing: Defining the Problem
Although the geometry must remain constant, the element types can change. For instance, thermal elements are required for a thermal analysis while structural elements are required to determine the stress in the link. It is important to note, however that only certain combinations of elements can be used for a coupled physics analysis. For a listing, see Chapter 2 of the ANSYS Coupled-Field Guide located in the help file. The process requires the user to create all the necessary environments, which are basically the preprocessing portions for each environment, and write them to memory. Then in the solution phase they can be combined to solve the coupled analysis. Thermal Environment - Create Geometry and Define Thermal Properties

This information is saved in a file labelled Jobname.rth, were .rth is the thermal results file. Since the jobname wasn't changed at the beginning of the analysis, this data can be found as file.rth.
