What am I doing wrong, few days of struggle
So I am a second year Masters in Mechanical Eng. and for my thesis I am making simulations about microtablet pressing (like micro pills).
Backstory: I have never used Ansys, have used SW and Creo simulations before, but for my masters I need to use ANSYS. So I am quite new and don't understand a few things in the beautiful UI design of ANSYS.
My problem:
So I started with full on model and got 16 error messages, I thought ok I will try a simpler model, because maybe somewhere a contact is missing or something with geometries are off. So I made a cylinder with three bodies (In SW with split body feature) so I 100% know they are touching. So the upper part is applying pressure (1500Gpa) to the tablet, and the lower part is not moving (aka fixed support). Mechanical simulations are used to to test the geometries of the mold tooling.
So I wanted to know what am I doing wrong, maybe I am just tired and don't know what the hell is happening anymore (working full time as an engineer too...). But yeah maybe someone can guide me onto the right path even with a comment or something. Because I have looked all over the google about the info messages etc. and I have no more left in me lol.
Thanks guys!
