Introduction to Submodeling
Submodeling is a finite element technique that you can use to obtain
more accurate results in a particular region of a model
Submodeling is based on St. Venant's principle.
The submodeling technique has been successfully used not just for
stress analyses, but also for thermal, electromagnetic and CFD analyses.
Submodeling - Example
Global Model
Sub Model
Submodeling - Procedure
Five main steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Create and analyze the initial model

Create the submodel
Perform cut boundary interpolation
Analyze the submodel
Verify that the distance between the cut boundaries and the stress
concentration is adequate
1. Create and analyze the initial (coarse) model
Follows the same steps as in a normal static analysis.
The geometry need not include local details such as fillet radii.
The mesh must be fine enough for accurate displacement results since
submodeling theory is based on displacements interpolated from the coarse
model to the submodel.
2. Create the submodel
The submodel is an independent, more finely meshed model of a region of
interest within the initial model.
Typically, the submodel will include details such as a fillet radius that were
omitted in the initial model.
Some rules for the submodel:
It must be in the same location with respect to the global origin as the corresponding portion in
the initial model.
It must have the same loading conditions as the initial model: gravity, symmetry boundaries,
temperatures, etc.
Apply all loads and boundary conditions that need to be duplicated from the
initial model. Examples:
symmetry conditions
gravity
temperatures
3. Perform cut-boundary interpolation
a) This is the key step in submodeling, where displacements from the initial
model are mapped to the cut boundaries of the submodel.
b) Steps involved:
First select the nodes on the cut boundary of the submodel [CMSEL Command]
Write those nodes to a file [NSWRITE Command]
c) Restore the full set of nodes, save the database, and exit PREP7.
d) Activate results from the initial analysis [SET Command]
(Remember, we need the displacements from the initial analysis.)
e) Initiate cut-boundary interpolation [CBDOF Command]
f) Exit POST1, change to the submodel jobname, and resume the submodel
database [RESUME Command]
g) Apply cut-boundary displacements to the submodel [/INPUT Command]
4. Analyze the submodel
Ensure that all loading conditions have been duplicated on the submodel.
Solve the Submodel
5. Verify the cut-boundary distance

This is an important step since submodeling theory is based on the
assumption that the cut boundary is far away from the stress concentration
region.
You can do this by comparing stress or strain results at the cut boundary:
Compare path plots at that location between the initial model and submodel.
Use the query option.
List the results.
Etc.

1. Open a empty Workbench Project file.
2. Drag and Drop Geometry from the Component Systems
3. File Save. Name the file as Model2

4. RMB on the Geometry (A2) and select Import Geometry and selec t the
geometry file Model-2.agdb
12
5. Drag & Drop Static Structural from the Analysis Systems on Geometry
(A2). Rename the Static Structural to Global Model
13
6. RMB on Model (A4) of Static Structural and select Edit to open ANSYS
Mechanical
7. Select Units from the utility menu and change the unit system to Metric
(mm,kg,N,s,mV,mA)
14
8. Expand the Geometry from the model tree. The geometry is a Multi-Body
Part. All the 3 bodies will be used for Global Model and only Sub_Model will be
used for Sub Modeling. Default Structural Steel is used for this analysis

9. RMB on Mesh and select InsertSizing to include a local body sizing
10. Select all the parts and type Element Size = 1 mm.
11. RMB on Mesh and select Generate Mesh

12. RMB on Static Structural and select InsertFrictionless Support. Select
the 2 faces as shown in the image below for Frictionless Support
12
17
Select Analysis Settings from the model tree and review the Step & Solver
controls. It is a 1 Loadstep Linear Analysis
13. Under Analysis Data Management, change Save MAPDL db to Yes.
This database file will be used in the sub-model
13

14. RMB on Static Structural and select InsertForce. Select the face as
shown in the image and select the same face for direction. The force is applied
normal to the selected force.

15. RMB on Solution and select InsertTotal Deformation & Equivalent
Stress.
16. RMB on Solution and select InsertCommands.
17. RMB on Commands (APDL) from the model and select Import and
select the file Global_Model.txt
16
17
20
18. RMB on Solution and select Solve, to solve the model. Once the
solution is done, you can post-process the Equivalent Stress as shown in the
figure below
After reviewing the results, close ANSYS Mechanical. FileClose Mechanical

Once the solution is done, the APDL Command object will copy the result and
database file from the solver directory of the global model to the root directory
of this model. These files will used for sub-model
22
19. RMB on Static Structural on the Workbench Project Page and select
Duplicate.
20. Link the Geometry (A2) to the Geometry (C2) of Static Structural and
raname the project to Sub Model

22. Expand the Geometry from Model tree and suppress 2 bodies named as
Global_Model. We need only the sub_model as shown in the image below

23. Select all the load/constraint and the Command object under solution and
delete them

24. Select Body Sizing and change the element size to 0.1 mm
25. RMB on Mesh and select Generate Mesh
24

26. Select the 4 faces (of the cut boundary as shown in the image below) and
RMB and Create Named Selection and name the 4 faces as
CUT_BOUNDARY. Click OK to close the dialob box
