I am a former Cosmos M and Ansys user...In cosmos M (theparent of solidworks simulator), I was able to use a 2-Daxi-symmetric shell element defined about the Y-axis. Since I dealwith vessels and objects that are axi-symmetric a lot, this isimportant for me to learn.
Basically, I have created a series of planar surfaces (all on thesame plane). I can also mesh them, assign temp loads etc. What Ican't do yet is specify the elements as not just shell, butaxi-symmetric shell. Anyone know how to do this? Or is SolidworksSimulation not capable of such a problem?
What is shown is the top of a pressure vessel (hemi-shperical head)with half-pipe cooling coils on the OD. Anythoguhts or potentialsample problem resource list would be nice for a new user likeme.....
