Load Mapping
Release 14.5
Worked Example
We are going to create a simple box shaped model to demonstrate
the load mapping process
The structural model will include some simple stiffeners to show
how to handle internal elements
The Steps of the exercise include:

plate stiffeners
First generate a new horizontal plane
Release 14.5
Release 14.5
Create a second box that will be used to remove the interior of the plate to generate
the desired stiffener
Release 14.5
Create the plate surface for the stiffener using the edges generated with the Slice
command
Edges are selected using the

Use Joint command to make connections
Select all surface bodies as Target Bodies.
Can use Box Select mode to simplify
selection.

AQWA also requires one part for each
vessel
Form new part and name as Hull

Run AQWA WAVE
Running the program will bring up a dialogue box requesting the steering data file
discussed on previous slide

...Load Mapping
AQWA WAVE creates (in this instance) 4 ANSYS APDL load files

In Workbench insert Commands in object
tree of Static Structural 2
Use /INPUT command to reference the first

Commands inserted into this file will be executed just prior to the Ansys SOLVE command.
These commands may supersede command settings set by Workbench.

Set Step Number to 1
Repeat command insertion for the other
three load cases, incrementing the step
number by 1 each time

The standard load file generated by AQWAWAVE includes a SOLVE command for
use in Mechanical APDL, not required for Workbench so comment out (or delete)
