Earthquake Analysis in ANSYS Workbench

The document discusses two approaches for performing earthquake analyses in ANSYS Workbench: the Response Spectrum analysis (RS-analysis) and full transient analysis. RS-analysis is cost-effective but only provides positive stress results, while transient analysis is more computationally intensive but offers a complete view of both tensile and compressive stresses throughout the earthquake duration. A shell structure is used as an example to demonstrate how these analyses can be executed.

ANSYS Tutorial: Earthquake analyses in workbench

Do you want to perform earthquake analyses according to design codes or just inorder to verify your
structure? The current article describes in great detail twodifferent approaches; the static (response
specter) and the transient approach

INTRODUCTION:
Earthquake analyses can be performed by applying different procedures. The most popular procedure is
theResponse Spectrum analysis (RS-analysis). The RS-analysis is cheap to use in terms of numerical
costs as it isbased on modal results. However, the spectrum solution can only show positive results, i.e.
positive stresses andstrains, as it only records the maximum amplitudes for each mode and the super-
position of these results in turn willgive the positive results. Another procedure is to perform a full tran-
sient analysis of the earthquake. Such analyses are computationalexpensive. However, they will give re-
sults based on the dynamic equation of equilibrium and hence both positive(tensile) and negative
(compressive) stress results will be reported for the full length of the earthquake. In this tutoriala shell
structure will be used to show how such analysis can be run in ANSYS Work
