Thanks a lot Blas. I actually did the same exact thing an hour ago and worked like a charm. Its my first proper nonlinear simulation and i have managed to include large desplacement, temperature loading to induce pre-tension and contact conditions mostly due to iberisa.com tips.

I am quite new to non-linear analysis and NX. I have a large displacement and contact problem and the solution fails at big loads while it converges at very small loads. Can I apply loads gradually so that the solution converges and if yes how? I know that that there is a Load vs Time setting...

I managed to get it to work using SOL601 with large displacements enabled. Thanks

Thank you for your reply, please find attached a simplified 1D model. I have tried applying a negative temperature load or an axial load of 1275N which is equivalent to the required pre-tension value but I always get around 19.6 mm of deflection. Any advice...

Hi, I am trying to simulate a wire that is pretensioned and clamped on a ring and then loaded transversely. I apply a negative temperature on the wire (I modelled the wire alone with axial loading and found the appropriate temperature) but the results are way off the expected results. I found...

how can i merge the mesh? i tried using the duplicate nodes feature but it does not work

I have some beam elements (rod) and a surface meshed with 2D elements. I have created mesh points on the surface where the 1D elemens nodes are. How can I connect the beam with the surface without using node to node 1d connection since it requires a section?

Hello, I have a sketch that I want to add in an assembly in order to model it as a 1D element during simulation. When I click to add part and select the part (sketch), it does not appear in the assembly. Thanks

When trying to use revolve, there is no Offset or Settings available. Any Ideas Why is that?
