Modeling considerations• As you begin your model generation, you will (consciously or

unconsciously) make a number of decisions that determine how youwill mathematically simulate the physical system:– What are the objectives of your analysis?– Will you model all, or just a portion, of the physical system? – How much detail will you include in your model? – What kinds of elements will you use? How dense should your finite

element mesh be? • In general, you will attempt to balance computational expense (CPU

time, etc.) against precision of results as you answer these questions.

• The decisions you make in the planning stage of your analysis will largely govern the success or failure of your analysis efforts.

Example0100 4

Modeling considerations• Linear or Higher Order Elements• Take Advantage of Symmetry

– The axis of symmetry must coincide with the global Cartesian Y-axis.– Negative nodal X-coordinates are not permitted.– The global Cartesian Y-direction represents the axial direction, the

global Cartesian X-direction represents the radial direction, and the global Cartesian Z-direction corresponds to the circumferential direction.

– Your model should be assembled using appropriate element types: • For axisymmetric models, use applicable 2-D solids with KEYOPT(3) = 1,

and/or axisymmetric shells. In addition, various link, contact, combination, and surface elements can be included in a model that also contains axisymmetric solids or shells. (The program will not realize that these "other" elements are axisymmetric unless axisymmetric solids or shells are present.)

• How Much Detail to Include• Appropriate Mesh Density
