9. 0 New Features Workbench 8 2 -D Modeling in Workbench Axisymmetric Analysis of a Pipe Assembly

ANSYS v 9. 0 2 D Modeling Workshop Goal Set up axisymmetric analysis in Workbench, solve and postprocess. Upper String Model Description 2 D model of pipe assembly consisting of an upper and lower drill string connected by a stress joint. Threads Stress Joint Elements: Axisymmetric (2 -D) elements Contact: Use bonded contact to simulate threads, rather than modeling them explicitly. Use frictionless contact for all other surface interactions. Loads: Internal Pressure, top tension load Threads Lower String Results: Von Mises, radial, axial and hoop stresses. Total deformation. © 2004 ANSYS, Inc. October 1, 2004 Inventory #002157 WS 8 -2

ANSYS v 9. 0 … 2 D Modeling in Workbench Workshop Start ANSYS Workbench. On the Start screen, next to “Open”, scroll down to “Design. Modeler Geometry”. Click “Browse” in the lower right corner, and browse to the file “pipeconnection. agdb” and click “Open”. © 2004 ANSYS, Inc. October 1, 2004 Inventory #002157 WS 8 -3

ANSYS v 9. 0 … 2 D Modeling in Workbench Workshop Click on the “Project” tab to return to the Project Page. Under “Default Geometry Options” click on “Advanced Geometry Defaults” to expand the advanced options. Change the “Analysis Type” to 2 -D. Under “Design. Modeler Tasks”, click “New Simulation”. © 2004 ANSYS, Inc. October 1, 2004 Inventory #002157 WS 8 -4

ANSYS v 9. 0. . 2 D Modeling in Workbench Workshop Close the Simulation Wizard. Click on “Geometry” in the Tree. Click on the first part (“Lower String”), then hold down the Shift key, and click the last part (“Upper String”), so that all parts are highlighted. In the Details View, click the drop down box next to “Behavior” and change it to “Axisymmetric”. © 2004 ANSYS, Inc. October 1, 2004 Inventory #002157 WS 8 -5

ANSYS v 9. 0 … 2 D Modeling in Workbench Workshop Click on “Contact” in the Tree. In the Details view, click on the drop-down menu next to “Same Body Grouping” and change it to “No”. Select both contact pairs, then right-click and select “Delete”. Right-click on “Contact” in the Tree, and select “Create Automatic Contact”. This creates separate contact pairs for each pair of lines in the model, and allows us to set different contact conditions for each. Click on Contact Region 2 in the Tree (this is the contact between the top of the Lower String and the Stress Joint). In the Details View, change the Type to “Frictionless”. Do the same for Contact Regions 3 and 5. © 2004 ANSYS, Inc. October 1, 2004 Inventory #002157 WS 8 -6

ANSYS v 9. 0 … 2 D Modeling in Workbench Workshop Click on “Mesh” in the Tree. In the Details View, change the “Global Control” to “Advanced”. Set the “Element Size” to 0. 075 in. Right-click “Mesh” in the Tree, and select “Preview Mesh”. © 2004 ANSYS, Inc. October 1, 2004 Inventory #002157 WS 8 -7

ANSYS v 9. 0 … 2 D Modeling in Workbench Workshop Click on “Environment” in the Tree. In the Context Toolbar, select “Structural” then “Frictionless Support”. Set the selection filter to “Edge”, then select the bottom edge of the Lower String. Click “Apply” in the Details View. Select “Structural” in the Context Toolbar again, then select “Pressure”. Hold down the Ctrl key and select the three lines on the inside (left-hand side) of the assembly, then click “Apply” in the Details View. Enter a Magnitude of 10, 000 psi. Select “Structural” in the Context Toolbar again, then select “Force”. Select the top edge of the Upper String, then click “Apply” in the Details View. Change “Define By” to “Components” in the Details View. Enter a Magnitude of 80, 000 psi in the Y-direction. © 2004 ANSYS, Inc. October 1, 2004 Inventory #002157 WS 8 -8

ANSYS v 9. 0 … 2 D Analysis in Workbench Workshop Choose “Solution” in the Tree. Select “Stress” from the Context Toolbar, then select “Equivalent (von-Mises)”. Also choose “Deformation” -- ”Total” from the toolbar, . Click “Solve” from the toolbar. Once the model is done solving, click on “Equivalent Stress” and “Total Deformation” in the Tree to view the results. © 2004 ANSYS, Inc. October 1, 2004 Inventory #002157 WS 8 -9

ANSYS v 9. 0 … 2 D Modeling in Workbench Workshop When modeling axisymmetric parts, we generally like to look at radial, axial and hoop stresses. Click on “Solution” in the Tree, then choose “Stress” on the Context Toolbar. Select “Normal”. By default, the orientation of this stress result is the X-axis, which in an axisymmetric analysis, is equal to the Radial Stress. Right-click on “Normal Stress” in the Tree, and click “Rename”. Change the name to “Radial Stress”. Insert “Normal Stress” two more times. In the second, change the Orientation in the Details View to “Y-axis” and change the name to “Axial Stress”. For the third Normal stress, change the orientation to “Zaxis” and rename it “Hoop Stress”. Click “Solve” and view these new results items. Radial Stress © 2004 ANSYS, Inc.
