Dear All,
I am working with Ansys. In contact analysis for initial converegence we need to force the contact to come into contact. For this i have been advised to apply the initial loading gradually as a loadstep of small magnitude and once the contacts come into "contact" then ramp...
Nikolas,
Thanks for the response. Let me write the question clearly. I am using the weak springs along with the contacts. I am not getting the convergence with contacts alone, where as the convergence is done with contact elemnts along with springs of low stiffness.
I hope you understnad the...
Dear All,
While doing the contact analysis(Using Ansys), the common problems i am facing are with the convergence of the model.
i) I regularly use point to point contact elements and try to converge the problem(Number of elemnts in my model usually be around 200000), but most of the time i am...
Dear All,
I am dealing with a 2D model where in it's very difficult to go for a Mapped mesh. But i have been instructed to go for that strictly in the regions of flange connection and bolts. In previous analysis i used to go for a general free mesh (Ansys). Can any one tell me what difference...
