Geometric Imperfection

Geometric Imperfection

Geometric Imperfection

(OP)
Hallo All,
I am trying to calculate heat treatment taking in to consideration the effect of residual stresses from a previos solidification simulation.

I have tried in the following way

*IMPERFECTION,SYSTEM=R,INPUT=DISP.inp

but it does not work.

Do you have any idea?

RE: Geometric Imperfection

What is the error message?

RE: Geometric Imperfection

(OP)
there are some considerations in my simulation
1) Only the residual stresses from a solidification simulation can be imported.
2) The model should be in its perfect form after the residual stresses are imported i.e. nodal coordinates should not be displaced from their original position due to the residual stresses.
I cannot use the *IMPORT,STATE=YES with *IMPERFECTION.

How can I do this?
