  • Using "Automatic Connections" to connect the crank arm and the gage doesn't always work. An alternate procedure to manually connect the two entities is shown in a later video below.
  • When specifying the edge sizing for the gage, set behaviorBehavior=hard" Hard as in the snapshot below. Otherwise, ANSYS might over-ride your edge setting and you will get more than one element.

    Our ANSYS Mechanical 14.0 model with a strain gage mounted can be downloaded here for your review. Download the .wbpz file and double-click on it to load it in ANSYS Workbench. To save the file in the usual .wbpj format, select File > Save as. To reduce the file size, the results have not been saved. You'll have to clear all results by selecting (right-click)Results > Clear Generated Data in the project page. Then, re-solve in ANSYS Mechanical (the red M in the taskbar) to see the results.
