Pre-Analysis

The While the case of the finite infinite plate with a hole and an radially outward pressure within the hole has no analytical solution. The infinite plate version has an analytical solution, but the case of the finite version plate with a hole does not, leaving . The lack of an analytical solution favors finite element analysis as one of the favorable solution methodsa solution method. This tutorial, will start out by using ANSYS to find the deformation and equivalent Von Mises stress for a specific plate with a hole geometry. After the initial solution is obtained, ANSYS will be told which variables are the design variables and what results are the output parameters. From there, the optimization procedures will be run.
