    Problem with transient analysis

    Dear all, I am running a transient analysis on rubber bearing which tested with compression + horizontal loading. The vertical pressure applied on top surface for 6 MPa, then cyclic load at 0.5Hz for 25mm displacement. Bottom surface is fixed at all dof. I defined the load pattern as...

    How to check elongation on SMA wire during tensile?

    Thanks Ed for the reply, if using optical trackers, can it track the mark on the wire if the wire move to other position? in my case, the wire is subjected to shear loading (eg: as attached)...

    How to create individual node and assigned element for the node in ansys apdl?

    thanks erik for reply, in the case, i want to create several individual nodes on solid surface which meshed using solid185 at specific location...some individual nodes required at specific location which maybe at the specific location, no node (due to solid185 mesh) is vailable to be selected...

    *TREAD command problem

    i try to follow exactly what has been proposed by simultech group, the error i got in my first post is because of this part; /INQUIRE,numlines,LINES,disptime,csv in ansys manual; /INQUIRE,Parameter,FUNC,Fname, Ext, --. my script; to_skip=1 !number of line to skip...

    *TREAD command problem

    Thanks Erik for replying, I do refer the article from simultech group, however, i do not quite understand the purpose of some part of the proposed script; /INQUIRE,numlines,LINES,Amp,csv to_read=numlines-to_skip *DEL,mytable,,NOPR i do not understand this part.....thats why skipped it in my...

    FRP Material Property in ANSYS APDL

    Thanks Erik for the reply, Actually, I used bi-directional frp (0.3mm thk)with 0-90 fiber direction. So in actual work, it has 4 layers. In ANSYS APDL , since I need to include every angle of fiber direction, i divided it into 8 layers with 0.15mm each. This is because as far as i know, I can...

    FRP Material Property in ANSYS APDL

    Hi, I just have some doubts about assigning frp laminate. The material property given is for 0.3mm frp laminate/layer. The final thickness is 1.2mm which consisted 4 layers. I create FRP laminate as shell element in APDL; sectype,2,shell secdata,0.15,2,0,3 secdata,0.15,2,90,3...

    Solution on frequency loading

    Hi, I need to perform analysis using transient analysis with frequency loading, eg; 0.1hz. For example of cantilever beam where one one is fixed and the other end is apply force vibration (cylic) of 0.1hz for displacement of +-30mm. I planned to do at multiple loadsteps for specific time and...

    FRP contact between to two solid surface (sandwich)

    Hi, I need to create contact between frp (shell element) and two solid surface (sandwich). so i created an area between the solid surface (exactly at the mid loc between solid surfaces)..... number 1 and 2 represents contact at lower and upper of frp plates. the script for both contacts...

    Hyperelastic material behaviour

    Hi all, I tried to learn on hyperelastic material, but at first with thk of 10mm, i can only apply 20mm displacement for convergence, otherwise it wont converge...then i change the thickness to 30mm, the behaviour also same..it can only been applie for ux displacement up to 20mm. my script...

    Element shape violation warning

    Yes, both computers run the same release version. I have re-run the script on other Intel pc, no element violation warning, similar to my intel laptop. I will try on other AMD pc. Thanks for the replies.
