Modelling Using Axisymmetry Introduction This tutorial was completed using ANSYS 7.0 This tutorial is intended to outline the steps required to create a n axisymmetric model. The model will be that of a closed tube made from steel. Point load s will be applied at the cen ter of the top and  bottom plate to make an analytical verification simple to calculate. A 3/4 cross section view of the tube is shown below. As a warning, point loads will create discontinuities in the your model near the point of application. If you chose to use these types of loads in your own modelling, be very careful a nd be sure to understand the theory of how the FEA package is a ppling the load and the assumption it is making. In this case, we will only be concerned about the stress distribution far from the point of ap plication, so the discontinuities will have a negligable effect. Preprocessing: Defining the Problem 1.
