1. You need to constrain your ANSYS model adequately so that it doesn't fly off to Europa. The figure above doesn't specify any displacement constraints but you boundary conditions. You can make use of symmetry to impose the y-displacement constraint in the y-direction. Additionally, constrain add an x-displacement constraint to the left corner in the half-model in x-direction to prevent rigid-body motion to the right. With these two displacement constraintsboundary condition, the model is well constrained.

To impose the x-displacement constraint at the left corner, highlight Static Structural in the tree and use Supports > Displacements as shown in the figure below. Select the "vertex selection filter" and then click on the vertex that you need to constrain.
