    How to measure wave speed in a material after impact?

    Hi, I have modelled a solid cube to cube face impact and would like to know the speed of wave propagation through the material after impact? I have tried plotting the velocity for nodal soltion under time histpro, but it seems to be give the value of the velocity at which the cube is moving at...

    Contac48 element not in Ansys 11.0?

    Hi I am following the contact tutorial here: http://www.mece.ualberta.ca/tutorials/ansys/AT/Contact/Contact.html I can't find the contac48 element, I am using Ansys 11.0. The tutorial uses Ansys 7.0. I know there is a contac175 element, but then I have to use a target element. Is there anyway...

    Dynamic analysis not working..produces error 5.

    Hi, I'm trying to model a dynamic analyis like the ansys tutorial one where u have the box falling down onto the table. For my analysis I have a projectile hitting a rectangular specimen. When I run the analysis I get error 5. It then tells me to check the message file. What is this message...

    How to model stress wave?

    Hi, my analysis is a full transient model with a pulse load input on one face of a rectangular specimen. I have used 4 step inputs for this, ramp loading, constant load for a certain time period, ramp removal, and zero load for certain amount of time. How do i display a contour animation of...

    Can't plot stress or strain curve!!

    Hi, I am using Ansys 11, I am going through example 9 in this tutorial: http://www.aa.washington.edu/courses/aa430/ansysinfo/grady/ANSYS_Tutorial.pdf I can plot the y displacement curve, but when I select y component of stress or strain in time history post processor it doesnt produce any...
