    What are the mandatory material properties needed for Static Structural Analysis?

    • Young's Modulus and Yield strength

    • Young's Modulus and Poisson's ratio

    • Yield Strength and Poisson's ratio

    • Ultimate strength and Yield Strength

    Correct Answer
    A. Young's Modulus and Poisson's ratio
    Explanation
    Young's Modulus and Poisson's ratio are the mandatory material properties needed for Static Structural Analysis. Young's Modulus is a measure of a material's stiffness and is used to determine how much a material will deform under a given load. Poisson's ratio, on the other hand, is a measure of a material's ability to deform in the perpendicular direction when subjected to a load. Together, these two properties provide important information about a material's behavior under static loads and are necessary for accurate structural analysis.

    When frictionless contact type is assigned to a particular contact interface in modal analysis, ANSYS will automatically convert it into a no separation type contact.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When a frictionless contact type is assigned to a contact interface in modal analysis, ANSYS will automatically convert it into a no separation type contact. This means that ANSYS will assume that the contact interface will not separate during the analysis, and there will be no sliding or relative motion between the surfaces in contact. This assumption simplifies the analysis and allows for easier calculations. Therefore, the statement is true.

    FEM gives an exact solution to problems. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    FEM, or the Finite Element Method, does not provide an exact solution to problems. Instead, it provides an approximate solution by dividing a complex problem into smaller, simpler elements. These elements are then analyzed individually, and the results are combined to obtain an approximate solution. Therefore, the statement that FEM gives an exact solution is false.

    • 3

    • 2

    • 6

    • 8

    Correct Answer
    A. 3
    Explanation
    The number of degrees of freedom for a 3D solid element, whether it is a hexahedral (Hex) or tetrahedral (Tet) element, is 3. This means that each node of the element has three degrees of freedom, which typically represent the displacements in the x, y, and z directions. These degrees of freedom allow the element to move and deform in three-dimensional space.

    • Remove intricate & small features.

    • Create a structured mesh on a face

    • Move nodes around a local region

    Correct Answer
    A. Remove intricate & small features.
    Explanation
    The pinch option in ANSYS meshing is used to remove intricate and small features from the mesh. This means that it eliminates any small details or complex geometries that may not be necessary for the analysis. By removing these features, the mesh becomes cleaner and more efficient, leading to faster and more accurate simulations.

    What does an eigenvector represent in the formulation of Modal Analysis?

    • Natural frequency      

    • Forcing frequency

    • Mode shape

    • Phase angle

    Correct Answer
    A. Mode shape
    Explanation
    An eigenvector represents the mode shape in the formulation of Modal Analysis. In Modal Analysis, the mode shape describes the spatial distribution of the vibration or deformation of a structure at a specific natural frequency. The eigenvector represents the shape or pattern of the vibration or deformation, indicating how different parts of the structure move relative to each other. By analyzing the mode shapes, engineers can gain insights into the dynamic behavior and response of the structure, which is crucial for designing and optimizing structures to avoid resonance and improve performance.

    Which of these loads are NOT supported in Harmonic Analysis?

    • Gravity Load

    • Pressure

    • Moment

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Gravity Load
    Explanation
    In Harmonic Analysis, the analysis focuses on the response of a structure to harmonic loads, which are loads that vary sinusoidally with time. Gravity load is a static load that does not vary with time, and therefore it is not supported in Harmonic Analysis. Pressure and moment, on the other hand, can vary with time and are supported in Harmonic Analysis. Therefore, the correct answer is Gravity Load.

    Which of the following can be used to change the status of a contact pair to CLOSE in the Mechanical window?

    • Interference removal

    • Pinball region

    • Through the contact detection Method

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Pinball region
    Explanation
    The pinball region can be used to change the status of a contact pair to CLOSE in the Mechanical window. The pinball region is a parameter that defines the size of a virtual sphere around the contact point. If the distance between the contact point and any part of the model is less than the pinball region, the contact pair is considered to be in contact and the status is changed to CLOSE. Therefore, the pinball region is a useful tool for simulating contact interactions in mechanical systems.
