APPLICATION OF THE ANSYS COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR DETERMINING THE TRAJECTORY OF THE MAIN STRESSES

Abstract

Constructing can be at a certain level of scientific and technical progress only if we have the development and application of computer techniques as an auxiliary tool. Due to its importance, the use of computers is growing into a new discipline, and in constructing, computer techniques is increasingly applied and becomes a useful auxiliary tool. The application of computer techniques allows the constructing process to be accelerated, facilitated and improved. Therefore, the goal of this study is to show that by applying computer techniques and computer programs, it is possible to achieve certain results in the constructing process very quickly and easily. In this paper, the computer program ANSYS was used to obtain results on the trajectories of the main stresses. Tests were performed on plate-type elements. They are uniaxially tensioned and weakened by a rectangular opening in the middle of the plate. The material of the plate is steel.
