Dear,
I'm looking to add an cylindrical elastic support in my model. This support can move in 6 DOF's with different stiffnesses.
stiffness 1 in x and y direction
stiffness 2 in z direction
stiffness 3 for rotation around x ans y axis
stiffness 4 for rotation around z axis
Actually I tried to...
Hello,
I don't really understand the function /Graphics.
I could notice that when I use quadratic elements and I plot my result, I get different result with /Graphics,full and /Graphics,power.
From the help, I could see that the difference comes from a different way for averaging nodal results...
Hello,
Sorry I did a mistake, it was SOLID92 (SOLID95 with tetrahedral option).
So I know that I can get the nodal solution via the list command, nodal solution but if you do that, you don't get the results from all nodes.
I give you a really simple exemple:
/PREP7
ET,1,SOLID92...
Hello
I'm doing a geometrical optimization and I try to minimize the VM stress. It works but I could notice that when I want to get the maximum value of VM stress (from "PRNSOL,S,PRIN") I get only results from the external nodes of my elements (not middle node). I use Solid95 (10 nodes...
Hello,
I try to do a 3D contact simulation, but I have a problem with boundaries conditions.
Actually, the model is simply a cube with a hole and a cylinder (in z-direction) in this hole. Then I try to apply a force on the cylinder to get the stress on the cube.
This works well when I apply...
Perfect,
I checked again my boundary conditions and it was right that I missed one (UX = 0 for area 2).
I thought that the problem came from NSLA or F functions, not from BC.
Tank you very much
Hello,
I would like to do a 2D structural simulation with 2 areas (an annulus and a circle inside the annulus). Then I applied a contact "surface to surface" and I would like to load the inner cylinder to know the pressure contact.
The problem is when I load with displacement it works, but...
