Hi all,
I have a quick question regarding enforcing plane strain/plane stress conditions on 3D solid elements, e.g. hexahedrals or brick elements.
Lets say I only have a single layer of 3D solid elements in the z-direction.
There are no tractions applied in the z-direction.
The thickness of...
Hi everyone,
If you have any experience with using automatic stabilization I would like you help with clarifying something.
Is it possible to fix the damping factor used? I have noticed that the it is still possible for it to increase during each increment, which causes the dissipated energy to...
Hi all,
I am trying to model a scarf joint using cohesive elements for the adhesive. The adhesive mesh is modelled using a mixture of wedge and hex elements to create a "structured" mesh.
Taking a look at the adhesive part, the way that this is accomplished is by assigning a structured mesh...
