Two kinds of monochromators covering the energy ranges 100-150 keV and approximately 300 keV have been designed for inelastic (Compton) scattering experiments at the elliptical multipole wiggler beamline, BL08W, of SPring-8. Finite-element analyses using ANSYS for bent crystals indicate that thermal problems are not serious for the 300 keV monochromator, while an energy spread of about 10(-3) f...

The modern development in mathematics bridges this gap (see Fig. 1). It allows us to start from a high dimensional system obtained by finite elements and then automatically generate a low dimensional approximation. The dimension of a reduced model is controlled by the approximation error specified by the user. In this article the software MOR for ANSYS [1] is presented. MOR for ANSYS applies ne...

A microhotplate array comprising four 100 μm × 100 μm unit cells has been designed. It has a multi-layer structure: Sithermal oxide-polySi-PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition) oxide-Sputtered Pt-Gas sensing film (SnO2). Electro-thermal simulation of the unit cell has been carried out using ANSYS. The simulations show that for an applied bias of 4 V a mean temperature of 706oC is o...

Free vibration and buckling responses of laminated composite plate in the framework of first order shear deformation theory is analysed. The model has been developed in ANSYS using ANSYS parametric design language code. The model has been developed in ANSYS using ANSYS parametric design language code. In this study two shell elements (SHELL181/SHELL281) have been chosen from the ANSYS element l...

For the ANSYS CFD codes CFX and Fluent coupling links to several 1D codes exist allowing for a wide range of multi-physics applications. As an example, a flexible coupling infrastructure in terms of supported multiphysics coupling conditions between ANSYS CFX and LMS AMESim is outlined. Examples of the wide range of coupling solutions of ANSYS CFD (CFX and Fluent) and coupled 1D-3D applications...
