Frequent question: What does SMX mean in ANSYS?

What does DMX mean Ansys?

ACRONYMS:

What are the units used in Ansys?

If you are working with ANSYS APDl, it means there is no unit. You need to remember the unit in which you are working. It may be either SI or CGS.

What are Keypoints in Ansys?

In solid model geometry, a keypoint (a point in space) is the most basic unit. Lines are defined by two or more keypoints. Areas are defined by three or more lines (three or more keypoints).

What is load step in Ansys?

A load-step should be thought of as a set of constraints/loads that are being solved for while the sub-steps are how you transition from one loading environment to the next.

What is the full form of Apdl?

Advertising Permit and Developer Licence (APDL)

How do you set units in Ansys?

It is possible to change the unit system in Design Modeler and Ansys Mechanical irrespective of the CAD File extension type. After you import the geometry in Workbench and open Design Modeler to edit the same, you can change the units from the top ribbon tab named “Units”.

How do I change units in CFD post?

To change the units of the results, simply right-click on the “thermometer” looking object in the display, and select your result options from there.

What is the difference between Keypoints and nodes in Ansys?

An element is anything which joins two or more nodes which is another FEM feature. An element is result of discretisation or meshing whereas keypoint is a geometric feature of the object. You can make elements and keypoints but no analysis is possible in keypoints as it is a geometric feature and not a FEM feature.

What is a mesh in Ansys?

Meshing is the process of turning irregular shapes into more recognizable volumes called “elements.” Before you start meshing, you must first upload a geometry or CAD model into, for example, Ansys Mechanical to begin the simulation process.

What are key points?

keypoint (plural keypoints) Part of a valley where the lower and flatter portion of the primary valley floor suddenly becomes steeper, used in computing a keyline for the efficient planning of water usage. An important point in an image, used in computer vision systems when detecting objects etc.

What is step end time in Ansys?

Step End Time: This is the time that the selected step in ‘Current Step Number’ when it will over. Auto Time Stepping: This is a very important adjustment that you can turn on or off in ANSYS® Mechanical.

What is auto time stepping in Ansys?

The method of automatic time stepping (or automatic loading) is one in which the time step size and/or the applied loads are automatically determined in response to the current state of the analysis under consideration.

How do you solve time too small?

To overcome this problem, you can set the minimum timestep to be a much smaller value (however solution may take very long), or to set the element to be deleted upon hitting a minimum timestep (Erosion controls -> On minimum element time step).
