    How to apply force on fence in Ansys Workbench 14

    I have a box, the bottom and the four walls are made of grid. I wan to apply load in the box and see how the bottom and the four walls deform (and stress too). How can I do it? I do not want to apply a force to each wire vertically and horizontally. I want to apply a load to the bottom and the...

    ANSYS Workbench - How to obtain vibration data/magnitude?

    Hi, i am currently doing a simulation of rotating propeller using ANSYS Workbench v13. May i know how to obtain vibration data? coz i only able to obtain stress, strain & etc for solution.. I am currently using static structural analysis only. Do i have to use random vibration analysis?
