    Ansys - System clock has been set back

    That might be because of the files with future dates. Try searching those files in your system and delete them or modify them to the current date if possible. I hope it helps, Vinston

    Convergence problem-please help

    Hi there, I am trying to do damage modeling in ANSYS using the cohesive zone material model. So, initially to test if it works I tried it on a simple curved model using solid 185 element for the curved material and inter205 element for the interface between the 2 curves. But I am always getting...

    Advantage of FEM-simulation over Analytical models

    Hi, I am doing structural analysis for linear case. I have compared my FEM results with few analytical bounds and the results are comparable to the Analytical models. So my question is Can somebody explain in detail the advantages of FEM-simulationss over Analytical models? Thanks Vinston

    effective properties

    Hi, I am not sure if I can post my question here, but if someone has idea please reply. Recently I have performed 2D-FEM simulations at different temperatures. Young`s modulus and Shear modulus are comparable with the experimental as well as Analytical methods but Poisson`s ratio is much lower...

    thermal analysis

    Actually that was my question TGS4. I thought so, as my analysis is isothermal I can apply the scheme of RT. Surely, your assistance is aknowledged. Thanks alot, Vinston

    thermal analysis

    Thank you all for the responses, I will try to answer your question TGS4, Yes, I am trying to accomplish the interaction between the higher temperatures and the material strength. Temperature of my experiment is uniform. I know the properties of the constituents at the temperature at which I...

    thermal analysis

    Hi all, I would like to simulate tensile test at higher temperatures i.e. I want to do thermal analysis of my material. So is it just enough to select entire set of nodes of my model, assign the temperature and continue like normal FEM simulation?? Or do I also need to apply thermal boundary...

    How to assgin properties to elements?

    Hi cbrn, I have three types of materials in my model, so do you mean that elem_num_array(1),elem_num_array(2)and elem_num_array(3) can store elements(only numbers) of three materials respectively? If so I have more than 4000 elements for each material then how do I store these element numbers...

    How to assgin properties to elements?

    Thanks for the reply cbrn, yea I know, there are two commands e and en to define elements but they need connectivity. My question is there any other command or procedure by which one can assign the material number to selected elements just by giving their no's? My input file has: material...

    How to assgin properties to elements?

    Hi, I have an ABAQUS input file and would like to convert that in to ANSYS input file. The problem I am facing is, in ABAQUS after the nodes and elements are defined, the different elements can be assigned to different phasee just by giving element no's, but where as in ANSYS, along with the...
