IceBreakerSours, what do you mean by application=quasi-static? There is already some numerical damping present (bulk viscosity) to damp out the unwanted displacement.
Thank you for your answer, I'm looking into it now. I need to know that the results I'm getting truly are quasi-static. I was thinking if the kinetic energy of the system is much less than the internal energy of the system, then the results should be realistic. Is it that simple?
I am modeling a hexagonal system with shell elements, see added image. These shell elements are assigned a composite section with 2 materials (linearly elastic) and three layers. I am trying to compress this system transversely with a displacement controlled analytical rigid plane, but the...
