Hello everybody,
I’m new in Ansys and I need advises in order to model a tensile/shear test of a blind rivet. I’ve already spent a lot of time trying to get a solution but I achieved... anything!
Let me explain the main steps I do and just tell me if I miss any important step or if I do a big...
Hello everybody,
I'm searching bibliography about blind rivets and the surprise is there isn't so much information (or at least I didn't find it), specially how to calculate connections, design criteria, etc. I'm really interested in lap metalsheets joints.
My questions are:
1.- Does anybody...
Timkwan, you are totaly right! Finally I get it! (see result in the attached file)
How I did it:
1.- Meshing manually all lines
2.- Meshing lateral areas with a 2D element (I used SHELL93 but I supose it´s better with MESH200 because you don´t have to clear the 2D previous mesh when you...
Thanks Steve!
I didn't see it your answer! Ok, I will try with that but the problem it's I'm not really get used to Ansys WB. Anyway, thank you very much for your advises!

Thanks timkwan for your answer!
I have allready tryed with "Sweep" operation but it was impossible to got it (i think it's impossible, if you read what ansys help says, at the end of the message)
maybe (probably) I'm doing something wrong... First I tryed just with "Sweep" without a previous...
Thank you for your answer Steve!
I don't want a 100% brick mesh, just with hexahedron it would be fine. I think too it's not possible to mesh it with a 100% brick mesh.
The result that you can see in the attached file I got it in "Ansys WB" and my problem is I want to do it with "Ansys...
Hi everybody,
Let me explain my problem with meshing a sheet with a central hole.
I’m modelling a tensile test of a blind riveted connection (3 parts: 2 sheets and the setted blind rivet). I’m using SOLID185 (bricks) and linear isotropic material model.
I want to mesh it with hexahedrons...
