    Urgent - Ansys - Distorted Element - 3D - Remesh / Rezoning

    I believe this is only possible with LS-DYNA. This problem is fairly typical for structural problems with excessively large distortion. You can try ramping the load very slowly, multiple sub steps, and ensuring you have a suitably fine mesh.

    Accounting for shell thickness in WB

    Hi I have a problem using shell elements with ansys work bench. I am running a 3D contact analysis using a solid model of bone and shell elements to represent a cortex (sandwich construction). As the problem involves contact (shells-solid) the contact regions must incorporate shell thickness...

    material models and failure

    Hi, I am confused by the material models given in Ansys wb. Why do structural steel and titanium both have 0MPa compressive ultimate strength? I have been trying to get my model (with yield, then ultimate failure strengths in the material model) to yield and then fail the way that it does when...
