Hi,
I'm new to using ANSYS. I have a simple question as to how the "compression only" and "add offset" commands behave in ANSYS 10.
Does the "compression only" move with the face as the solution iterates? ie. it stays normal to the face. Or is its reaction direction fixed per its initial orientation to the global coordinate system?
What does the manual mean by "except that the loading is ramped" when you set "Interface treatment" to "Add offset"? Does this mean it moves the mesh per the offset and stains the mesh similar to a displacement?
Sincerely,
Andrew
