TGS4: I still am not able to get the model to work with the increase in the number of supports (could it be that as the strain increases the slope of the stress strain curve decreases, to nearly nothing, and the model when it reaches a certain point will just collapse).
One problem I have in...
Well what about the fact that I have the large displacement option (on) and I use the inelastic materials option?
Where does it say the limits of ANSYS 8.0?
thankyou for your help.
The left support is applied to a single node on the plates surface fixing the x and y displacement to 0, and the right support fixes the y displacement to 0.
In ansys to define the supports I go to define loads-apply-structural-displacement-on nodes.
My material properties that I am using are...
I have tried to run the plate with Shell93 elements with the meshing 0.2 inch squares. The plate is 6 inches wide and 30 inches long and 2 inches thick. The simple supports are ten inches apart and I am trying to deflect halfway inbetween the two supports 0.5 inches. The model will not...
I am using nlgeom and plasticity for modeling structural steel. The plasticity is inputed as nonlinear inelastic, rate independent, isotropic hardening plasticity, mises plasticity, multilinear.
I have tried using the Shell93 elements but it seems to take up alot of disk space. The files...
I having been having trouble modeling plate bending using Ansys 8.0. I am trying to simmulate what happens to a plate when it is bent in a brake press. I have made a 2D model of a simply supported 3 foot long 2 inch thick plate. The plate is to undergo multiple bends to obtain a 6 inch bend...
