Note

This tutorial was created with an older version of ANSYS (14.5), where the mesh generator and the refinement process was not as strong as it is now. This will result in a different solution than the one shown; work is being done to update to the newer version as soon as possible

Verification & Validation

As with any numerical method verification and validation of great significance. As mentioned earlier, there is no analytical solution for the finite plate with a hole. Thus, the results can not be compared to theory. Thus, in this section other verification and validations will be used. First, the solution will be examined as the mesh is refined to see if it has converged. Additionally, the optimization results will be verified by using different optimization methods and comparing results.

Mesh Refinement

The convergence criteria which was inserted earlier was used to view the effect of mesh refinement with a radius of 1.4853 inches.
