Ansys Case Study 6.5

In this ANSYS Workbench case study, we analyze a decorative glass flower vase subjected to hydrostatic water pressure using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The vase has a complex curved geometry with a uniform wall thickness of 4 mm. The objective is to determine the maximum total deformation and von Mises stress developed in the vase due to the water load. 📌 Problem Highlights Geometry created using spline/profile points Material: Glass Young’s Modulus: 70 GPa Poisson’s Ratio: 0.17 Vase height: 280 mm Uniform thickness: 4 mm Water level: 100 mm below the top opening Bottom surface fixed Hydrostatic pressure applied internally 📐 Construction Points A: (50, 0, 0) mm B: (90, 40, 0) mm C: (60, 120, 0) mm D: (40, 180, 0) mm E: (80, 280, 0) mm 🎯 Topics Covered 2D sketch creation in ANSYS DesignModeler/SpaceClaim Surface revolve and shell thickness definition Material assignment Hydrostatic pressure setup Meshing strategy Static structural analysis Total deformation results Equivalent (von Mises) stress interpretation This tutorial is useful for students and engineers learning: ANSYS Workbench Static Structural Analysis Pressure vessel/shell analysis Glass structure simulation FEA fundamentals #ANSYS #FEA #Workbench #HydrostaticPressure #VonMisesStress #GlassVase #StaticStructural #EngineeringSimulation #FiniteElementAnalysis #MechanicalEngineering
