In this problem solution, we will demonstrate the following topics that have not been presented in previous problems: • Defining a problem heading • Selecting master degrees of freedom • Entering a geometry point in a cylindrical coordinate system • Defining several geometry surfaces • Defining boundary conditions • Querying the graphics with the mouse • Generating elements onto geometry surfaces, ensuring compatibility • Displaying geometry point, line and surface numbers • Zooming into the graphics window • Plotting original and deformed meshes • Moving and resizing mesh plots with the mouse • Deleting unwanted text with the mouse • Plotting element vectors • Plotting stress bands

Problem 2: Plate with a hole in tension
• Graphing stresses along a line • Modifying a graph plot We assume that you have worked through problem 1, or have equivalent experience with the ADINA System. Before you begin Please refer to the Icon Locator Tables chapter of the Primer for the locations of all of the AUI icons. Please refer to the Hints chapter of the Primer for useful hints. This problem can be solved with the 900 nodes version of the ADINA System. Invoking the AUI and choosing the finite element program Invoke the AUI and set the Program Module drop-down list to ADINA Structures. Defining model control data Problem heading: Choose ControlHeading, enter the heading “Problem 2: Plate with a hole in tension” and click OK. Plane for 2D elements: Choose ControlMiscellaneous Options, set the "2D Solid Elements in" field to "XY-Plane, Y-Axisymmetric" and click OK. Master degrees of freedom: Choose ControlDegrees of Freedom, uncheck the Z-Translation, X-Rotation, Y-Rotation and Z-Rotation buttons and click OK. (We perform this step because the two-dimensional solid elements that we will use only provide stiffness for the x-translation and y-translation degrees of freedom. If you omit this step, the AUI will delete the z-translation, x-rotation, y-rotation and z-rotation degrees of freedom for all the nodes when you generate the ADINA Structures data file. So this step is not necessary; ADINA Structures will give the same solution whether or not you perform this step. However, ADINA Structures runs more efficiently if you perform this step.)

Generating the ADINA Structures data file, running ADINA Structures, loading the porthole file First click the Save icon
and save the database to file prob02. To generate the ADINA
Structures data file and run ADINA Structures, click the Data File/Solution icon , set the file name to prob02, make sure that the Run Solution button is checked and click Save. When ADINA Structures is finished, close all open dialog boxes. Set the Program Module , set drop-down list to Post-Processing and discard all changes. Then click the Open icon the “File type” field to “ADINA-IN Database Files (*.idb)”, choose file prob02 and click Open. Then click the Open icon
and open porthole file prob02.
Please notice that we first opened the ADINA-IN database, then loaded the porthole file. We did this so that we can create a graph of the stresses along a geometry line later on. The graphics window should look something like the figure on the next page. Notice that the geometry and the deformed mesh are displayed.

Examining the solution Original and deformed meshes: Click the Show Original Mesh icon Displacements icon
and the Scale
.
We will plot this mesh along with other mesh plots showing the solution. To make room for the other mesh plots, we need to shrink this mesh using the mouse and move it to the left, so that we obtain the picture shown at the top of the next page. Here are detailed instructions for resizing and moving the mesh plot. To shift the mesh plot, click the Pick icon and the Dynamic Pan icon, then click on one of the lines of the mesh plot. A bounding box appears around the mesh plot; this bounding box indicates the mesh plot is highlighted. Now hold down the left mouse button and move the cursor. The mesh plot moves along with the mouse cursor. When the mesh plot is in the proper position, , release the left mouse button. To resize the mesh plot, click the Dynamic Resize icon hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse diagonally up and to the right to enlarge the mesh plot and move the mouse diagonally down and to the left to shrink the mesh plot. The mesh plot dynamically resizes as you move the mouse. When the mesh plot is the proper size, release the left mouse button. To unhighlight the mesh plot, move the cursor onto empty space within the graphics window and click the left mouse button. Move and resize the boundary condition table and the load legend in the same way.

To learn the current coordinates of node 467, click the Query icon , move the cursor onto the label of node 467 and click the left mouse button. The AUI writes a message such as "Node 467, curr=( 4.99614E+00, 0.00000E+00, 0.00000E+00)" into the message window and into the status bar at the bottom of the control window. For more information about node 467, right-click and choose More. The AUI writes more information into the message window, including the element that is attached to node 467. (To display the message window, choose ViewMessage Window.) To learn the numbers of the elements near the hole, move the cursor onto one of the elements and click the left mouse button. The AUI writes a message such as “Element group 1, element 122, side –1” into the message window and into the status bar at the bottom of the control window.

The AUI highlights the selected graphics and writes messages for each graphics object (you may need to display the message window and use the vertical scrollbar in the message window to see all of the messages). Graph of stresses on the horizontal symmetry line: Now we will graph the stresses on the horizontal symmetry line. To do this, we create a “node line”, which lists the nodes on the horizontal symmetry line. Choose DefinitionsModel LineGeneral, add line SYMMETRY, enter the text “LINE 6” (you don't need to enter the quotes) into the first row and column of the table and click OK. The AUI writes the message “9 nodes in gnline” to the message window and to the bottom of the AUI control window. Please note, the above step is possible only if you open the ADINA-IN database before loading the porthole file. This is because the geometry information comes from the ADINA-IN database. Now click the Clear icon and choose GraphResponse Curve (Model Line). Verify that the Model Line Name is SYMMETRY, make sure that the X Variable is set to (Coordinate: DISTANCE), set the Y Variable to (Stress:STRESS-YY), set the Y Smoothing Technique to AVERAGED and click Apply.
