Example of interactive area creation methods in ANSYS -

1.  PlotCntls -> Numbering -> Areas -> ON

2.  Preprocessor -> Modeling -> Create -> Areas -> Rectangle -> By 2 Corners

enter coordinates of lower left corner (0., 0.), width (10.) and height (5.)

3.  Preprocessor -> Modeling -> Create -> Areas -> Circle -> Solid Circle

enter origin (0., 0.), and radius (1.5) -> OK

new2.bmp (139462 bytes)

4.  Repeat circle creation: enter center (0., 5.) and radius (2.) -> OK

new3.bmp (139462 bytes)

 

5.  Preprocessor -> Modeling -> Operate ->Subtract -> Areas

Pick or enter base area -> pick A1 -> OK

Pick or enter areas to be subtracted -> pick A2 and A3 -> OK

new4.bmp (141702 bytes)

This process can be repeated to create more complex geometries.
