Chapter 4: Substructuring Examples

The Mechanical APDL Verification Manual presents test-case analyses demonstrating the analysis capabilities of the program. While these test cases demonstrate solutions to realistic analysis problems, the Mechanical APDL Verification Manual does not present them as step-by-step examples with lengthy data-input instructions and printouts; however, most users with at least limited finite-element experience should be able to fill in the missing details by reviewing each test case's finite element model and input data with accompanying comments.

The Mechanical APDL Verification Manual contains the following substructuring test case:

  • VM141 - Diametrical Compression of a Disk

The Advanced Analysis Guide contains the following example substructuring analysis:

The following is an example substructuring command listing:
