Hello,
I am trying to run a quasi-static analysis on compression of thin walled tubes. I am not very familiar with quasi-static analysis and most of my work has been done for dynamic analysis. For this analysis the compression speed assigned to the impact plate is 2.5 mm/s, and the deformable tube is made of Aluminum.
I have a few questions
1) I want to know what time step will be sufficient to model the crushing process?
2) When mass scaling, will I scale the mass of the entire model, or just the mass of the rigid plate impacting the tube?
3) Does mass scaling increase the magnitude of the assigned mass of the impact plate?
