Procedure: Solution

The document outlines the steps to perform an analysis in ANSYS: 1. Pre-process the model by defining element types, material properties, and meshing the model. 2. Apply loads to obtain the solution. 3. Review results by plotting von mises stress contours and animating the stress over time.

Result:
Thus the basic steps to perform the analysis in ANSYS like
Build the model.
Apply loads and obtain the solution.
Review the results.
are studied.
PLANE82 is a higher order version of the two-dimensional, four-node element (PLANE42). It
provides more accurate results for mixed (quadrilateral-triangular) automatic meshes and can tolerate
irregular shapes without as much loss of accuracy. The 8-node elements have compatible
displacement shapes and are well suited to model curved boundaries.The 8-node element is defined
by eight nodes having two degrees of freedom at each node: translations in the nodal x and y
directions. The element may be used as a plane element or as an axisymmetric element. The element
has plasticity, creep, swelling, stress stiffening, large deflection, and large strain capabilities.
