Static Structural Analysis for a Circular Arch
Static Structural Analysis for a Circular Arch
Geometry and Meshing
Geometry and Meshing
The geometry is made within the ModelDesigner from the ANSYS Workbench. A new material is chosen as Buckling Steel for the geometry.
The options are chosen to make the mesh as dense for better results. In the end a reasonable mesh is obtained.
Constraints
Constraints
The sides are constrained as simply supported
The top surface of the geometry is applied the pressure of 1 MPa.

Equivalent Stress obtained within the plate.
Total Deformation caused within the plate.
Buckling Load Modes gained by the Eigenvalue Buckling Analysis
Buckling Load Modes gained by the Eigenvalue Buckling Analysis
The results from the Static Structural Analysis are included pre-stress for the Eigenvalue Buckling Computation.
