2. Geometry

2D Analysis Type

The default Analysis Type is 3D, which must be changed, considering the problem at hand is two dimensional. In order to make this change first (Right Click) Geometry > Properties, as shown below.

Then set Analysis Type to 2D as shown in the following image.



Launch Design Modeler

In order to start the Design Modeler (Double Click) Geometry, . After the Design Modeler opens, select meter as the desired length unit.

Proper Orientation

The sketching will be done in the XY plane, so (Click) XY Plane, , then click on the face plane button, .

Sketching

In this section a rectangle will be sketched on the XY plane, that has one corner on the origin. First click on the Sketching tab, , then click on the Rectangle button, . Next,move the mouse over the origin until a "P" appears and click once, then move the cursor somewhere else in the first quadrant and click again.



Dimensioning

The dimensions of the rectangle will now be inputted into ANSYS. First, click on the Dimensions tab, . Next, click on the left vertical line of your rectangle, move the mouse to the left then click again. Then click on the top horizontal line of your rectangle, move the mouse up and click again. Your screen should now look similar to the image below.

Surface Body Creation

Here, the rectangle will be turned into a surface. First, click on the Modeling tab, . Next, (Click)Concept > Surface From Sketches, as shown below.



Then, Expand XY Plane and click on Sketch 1, as shown below.



Then (click) Apply under "Details of SurfaceSk1" as shown below.
