Enter a pressure of 1000Д¬heck the deformed shape to see if it's reasonable. Preprocessor -> Loads ->Apply ->Pressure -> On Lines (Pick the left hand line of the rectangle). The radial movement is prevented by the 'hoop' tension in the cylinder. No other displacement boundary conditions are required.

This simply prevents rigid body motion in the Y direction. Preprocessor -> Loads ->Apply ->Displacement -> On Lines (Pick the bottom line of the rectangle) uy = 0 along this line.

The ANSYS solution to this problem is given next for an internal pressure of 1000 psi. Since the height of the segment considered is arbitrary, we will use a segment 1 inch in height for the finite element model. The cylinder can be generated by revolving a rectangle 6 inches wide and of arbitrary height 360 degrees about the Y axis. In both drawings the length of the object is arbitrary and represents a segment of a long, open-ended cylinder. The steel cylinder below has an inner radius of 5 inches and an outer radius of 11 inches. To illustrate this type of analysis consider the problem of finding the stresses in a thick open-ended cylinder with an internal pressure (such as a pipe discharging to the atmosphere).
