Hi Everyone,
I am trying to run a modal analysis on a 3D structure, however, when I refine my mesh I exceed the node limitation on the software (University edition). My model is symmetric about one axis, so is there a way to run a modal analysis on half the structure? Is this possible in...
Hi Everyone,
I have been using contact manager to help me run a basic model to simulate force variation during pull-out of a geometrically restrained object. To start off with, I am looking at the pull-out of a cone from a conical orifice.
The orifice material is rigid so I do not mesh it, and...
Hi,
I am using contact manager to generate contact surfaces for sliding motion between two continuously contacting surfaces. The target surface is to be rigid, however, when I start contact manager, the "rigid" option is greyed out. I can only choose between "flexible" and "pilot node". Any...
Hi Drej,
Thank you for your reply. You are right, there is no such thing as a generic material model for viscoelastic materials. I perhaps should have phrased this differently. What I am in fact looking for is a library of material models for viscoelastic/viscoplastic materials. If I find a...
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know of any ANSYS material model files for nonlinear materials such as polymers. I am trying to model the deformation characteristics of an epoxy pressed up against a rigid body. The nonlinear capabilities in ANSYS require input of data for curve-fitting - I don't have...
Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know of a good tutorial for performing adhesion analyses in ANSYS. I would like to model the interfacial toughness of adhesive bonds.
