Go to Step 4: Physics Setup
Specify the Element Size
Begin by clicking once on mesh, Image Removed. Next, expand sizing under Details of "Mesh" if it is not already expanded. Finally, change the element size to 2
meters and click enter. The total length of the bar is 4 meters, and the element size was set to 2 m, thus the mesh will be composed of two elements.

We will need more elements to generate a more accurate result. Set the element size to 4m/10=0.4m. Then, click on Update, Image Removed. At this point you should see, a similar image to the one above. The beam is now composed of ten elements.

Although the mesh is created on the rectangular beam, what ANSYS really solves is just the line body. To view the line body, click on View and uncheck Thick Shells and Beams. Image Removed click here for full view |
