ANSYS 12 - Crank - Step 5

Step 5: Solution

Now that we have set up the boundary conditions, we can actually solve for a solution. Before we do that, let's take a minute to think about what is the post-processing that we are interested in. We are interested in the deflection and stress on the crank. Let's set up those post-processing parameters before we click solve button.

Under Outline, left click on Solution (F6). At the top third menu, insert Total Deformation and von Mises Stress. Finally click Solve at the top menu.
