Example0702
Objective: Determine the maximum stress in the x-direction for point A and display the deformation figure Tasks: Create a submodel to increase the accuracy of the FEA without increasing the computational effort significantly? Topics: Element type, Real constants, modeling, mapped mesh, plot results, output graphics, path operations, submodeling
Example0702
Steps in Submodeling
The process for using submodeling is as follows:
Create and analyze the coarse model. Create the submodel. Perform cut boundary interpolation (CBI). Analyze the submodel. Verify that the distance between the cut boundaries and the stress concentration is adequate.

You can include commands to be executed when the program starts up in the start71.ans file.
Clears (zeros out) the database stored in memory. Clearing the database has the same effect as leaving and reentering the ANSYS program, but does not require you to exit.
