thank you pal for the tip, worked perfectly. much appreciated.
If I may, I've got another small question. As you probably noticed by now my assignment is about material non-linearity, and I thought a good example would be a circlip being pulled apart.
My problem in this case is how I can...
I'm using version 12.
What I was planning to do is this: First I set the material property commands:
MPTEMP,1,0,400
MP,EX,1,12E6,-8E3
TB,BKIN,1,2
TBTEMP,0.0
TBDATA,1,44E3,1.2E6
TBTEMP,400
TBDATA,1,29.33E3,0.8E6
/XRANGE,0,0.02
TBPLOT,BKIN,1
What I'm trying to achieve by this is...
I have one small question. I'm trying to demonstrate material non linearity due to temperature.
In other words, I want to show that for the same force, the stresses in the material may be different due to the temperature of the object. Now, I figured the commands for the material property part...
