ANSYS4ALL

What do you need?

Sir I have a weldment structure solid tubing frame I want to analyse it as beam elements as solid take too much computation time...the problem is that it is a solid file and ansys workbench considered it as solid elements but I want beam ....also the file will consist of beam and solid elements.....

Give me case at the email babenkosander@gmail.com

Ok sir thanks .....

Prepare the model in ANSYS design modeler and use beam elements, then import to ANSYS mechanical. you will get beam elements rather than solid.

Could you publish the screenshot of your frame? How complex it is?

Beam elements are appropriated for certain aims only (rigidity, modal and strength - if engineering code you refered to is tuned just for FEA beam).

There is not one advice for all cases of frame simulations.
