analysis in ansys workbench
Is it possible to do analysis by applying force on all 6 sides of a rectangular bar , with no place of any sort of supports.
Accepted answer
If it's all balanced. you could possibly trick it into finding a solution. But if the loading is at all uneven, the model will "move". Once it's out of the "small movement" regime, things will get very complicated quickly, and the short answer is not really.
If things are balanced, why don't you use a symmetric boundary condition on the mid plans? That will anchor them and be overall better for computing time.
