30.12. Forces on Slices

For fiber spinning problems, Ansys Polyflow can compute the force acting on each slice of the mesh. The procedure for specifying the calculation of forces on slices is as follows:

  1. Create a new sub-task.

  3. Specify the domain where you want the calculation to be performed.

    1. Select any domains where you do not want to perform the calculation and click Remove. Ansys Polydata will move these subdomains to the list at the bottom of the panel. The domains where you want the calculation to be performed will remain in the list at the top of the panel.

    2. Click Upper level menu.

  4. Define the remeshing inlet and outlet.

    1. Define the remeshing inlet. Select the inlet of the slicing system and click Confirm.

    2. Define the remeshing outlet. Select the outlet of the slicing system and click Confirm.
