Application of Second Development based on ANSYS Software on Simulation of Detection Defect in Curved Pipes Using Ultrasonic Guided Waves

For improving the analysis efficiency of simulation of detection defect in curved pipes using ultrasonic guided waves based on ANSYS software, a set of modules are designed with ANSYS parameter design language(APDL). The detection defect in curved pipes using guided waves can be simulated with the modules. Modeling, loading, and post-analysis can be performed by inputing concerned parameters, so the analysis efficiency can be greatly improved. The modules are verified by the consistency of the results between experiments and simulations.
