Academix,
I was able to solve the problem by applying a force. Anyway, the solution's convergences seems a little erratic... I must to increase the convergente tolerance from the default value = 0.001 till 0.05, and the solution doesn´t "moves" toward the convergence... I mean with this, that...
Academix, thank you so much for your time.
I'll try to solve the problem with friction over the night.
I'll try it first with enforced displacement: I think it's the best approach because, by applying a force, once exceeded the "midpoint" (let us say, it is the point when the force turns from...
Academix, thank you very much for your answer,
You hit the nail on the head with this: I think friction is the answer. I'll try to solve it again with friction.
anyway,
-> I am not sure how to do it... Could you be more specific? thanks in advance.
-> Yes. I know this. I already did it some...
Hello all,
I'm wondering why this problem doesn't want to converge. I'm trying to find out the force necessary to be applied to lock the barbell. (Please, see the picture).
I'm performing a nonlinear study, but the material remain isotropic, elastic and lineal, and is the same for both...
