I am searching the possibilité to use the deformed
shape in a load step as an original one (together with the stress field) to contiuer the next load step calculation!
Any help will be appreciated!
I want to simulate a large deformation for a slice, which glids on a cylindrical plan. The Bilinear behavior is used as material characteristics, and large geometrical non linearity is on. The loads are imposed displacements. In face, cause ANSYS told 'soluction non convergened!' when I applied very large displacments, I'd like to apply the displacements step by step! In this way, I can obtain the final displacements I want.
