hi, thanks for the insight. it has initial gap of about 5 mm, so it is not contact initially. I'm trying to investigate the capacity of the wire bended in a specific radius, so I put the force to see how much it cant endure before failure. Could you please tell me specifically how to run modal...
Hi, I'm new to ANSYS. I am trying to built up a model with support definition like it is shown in the attachment. The idea is to bend a wire to a designated bent radius with frictional contact involved between wire and the target tubular surface.
The popped up problem is always about rigid body...
Hi, i'm trying to construct a model of a wire rope that consists of 6 helical strand around core strand and each strand is built from a single core wire and 6 helical wires around. So in total i'll have 49 individual wires that are built into the rope construction (7x7 wire rope). Anybody have...
