d. In the "Enter Value for Gravity" box input the gravity acceleration; the gravity
acceleration should be in the same units as the model either in ft/s2 or m/s2.
e. Save the ANSYS model in ACS SASSI format by click the “Convert” button. The
command history window shows the converting progress.
6) Define the ground elevation using SUBMODELER command "GroundElev" (for example
“GroundElev, -10” would place the ground elevation at z = -10)
7) Type “actm, 2” to switch to model ID number “2” which will be used for the excavation model.
8) Convert the ANSYS excavation model into the ACS SASSI format using SUBMODELER by
selecting Model > Converters > ANSYS.cdb from the menu bar. A dialog box will open. In the
dialog box input the following data
a. In the "Input File Name" box input the ANSYS .cdb file name including path by typing
or browsing ;
b. In the "Output .pre File Name" box input the corresponding .pre file name including
path
c. In the "Save Converted Data to Model Number" box, enter the model ID number for
the structure model. By default, this will save the converted model to model 0. The
model ID number entered here should be an unused ID number in the current session.
For this example, use 1 for the model ID
d. In the "Enter Value for Gravity" box input the gravity acceleration; the gravity
acceleration should be in the same units as the model either in ft/s2 or m/s2.
e. Save the ANSYS model in ACS SASSI format by click the “Convert” button. The
command history window shows the converting progress.
9) Define the ground elevation using SUBMODELER command "GroundElev" (for example
“GroundElev, -10” would place the ground elevation at z = -10)
10) Use the SUBMODELER command “EtypeGen” to define the solid elements in the excavation
model as excavated soil elements by typing “EtypeGen, 2”
11) Use the SUBMODELER command “MergeSoil”, merge the structure model number 1 and the
excavation model number 2 into a new combined model number 3
a. Type “actm, 3” to switch to the model ID number “3” for the combined model.
b. Use MergeSoil command to combine the structure and excavation models. The MergeSoil
command also creates a mapping file required by the HOUSEFSA module. The mapping
file provides the mapping between excavation model nodes and the corresponding
combined model nodes. Note that this mapping file with extension .map should have a
standard filename “modelname_excv.map”.
12) Generate the interaction
nodes
using
SUBMODELER
command "IntGen”
(example, ”IntGen,1” generates interaction nodes for the Flexible Volume method)
