APDL - Rectangular Plate with Hole

The following data was used to perform the (non)-linear FEM-Analysis.

• Wide : 100 mm
• Thickness : 10 mm
• Hole : 20 mm diameter

Element Data

Element-type Plane183 is used "PLANE183 is a higher order 2-D, 8-node or 6-node element. PLANE183 has quadratic displacement behavior and is well suited to modeling irregular meshes (such as those produced by various CAD/CAM systems)." [Ansys-Help]

Material Data

• Youngs-Module : 210000 N/mm^2
• Poisson-Ratio : 0.3
• Hole : 20 mm diameter

Mesh

• For the mesh a mapped mesh is used to reduce the element number
