I totally agree with Brian. Certainly the fact that the kind of prediction you want to make is very difficult and the results will most probably not be satisfactory in the sense of showing a great variety of discrepancies when considering different materials and layups, not to mention the...
Looks like a symmetric kind of failure behaviour with two inition sites where material has been exposed to environment longer than the rest of the failed surface. however, macroscopic failed surface looks like a rapid fracture due to overload to me and not fatigue. Could it be a torsional...
Hi there
I'm running a heat transfer analysis and use the results as predefined field for a subsequent stress analysis. However, when I check the temperature field in the stress analysis it looks very different from what I applied (I attach the pictures for better understanding).
I would expect...
yes
yes
yes
the initial temperature field (taken from previous heat transfer analysis) was set and then (wrongly) propagated through the stress analysis step. I now changed the temperature transfer caused by the predefined field from "propagate" to "modify" in the SA-step and selected different...
Hi there
I run a heat transfer analysis and use the resulting .odb file as input for a predefined field in my stress analysis. In the stress analysis model I apply new mesh, BCs, elements,etc. I also define the expansion coefficient alpha.
After running the stress analysis I can see the...
