Analysis of Results

We will use the theoretical solution developed by Greszczuk, L.B (see reference below) to verify the results obtained with ANSYS. To do this, we need to import the results obtained into Excel or a similar application.

...

 
Create a text file (results.txt) with these results. Use Matlab or a similar application to import/read the results.txt file and plot them along with the theoretical solution. Refer to the reference below for a detailed description of the theoretical solution and associated equations.

As we can see, the solution obtained with ANSYS compares well with the theoretical solution. The highest variation between the theoretical solution and the results obtained with ANSYS occurs at 90 deg. At this angle, the value obtained with ANSYS varies by less than 3% with respect to the theoretical value.
