Hello All,

I want to analysis a full solid cylinder and i want to reduce the time of the run. Someone suggested to me that I may find an option about analysis only one vertical section of the cylinder and the tool itself will make a revolve and generalize the result as if it was a 3D analysis.

Does anyone are familiar with this option? is there something like that in Hyperworks? 

thanks

    Hi SamuelIshak,

     

    Use N2D3D = 1 for /ANALY card in the Starter file and ensure that the elements are defined in YZ plane and their normals have to be in the positive X-position.

    Please refer Example 8 - Hopkinson Bar from the Help Menu which is an axisymmetrical analysis.
