Trimming

(OP)
Dear All,

How can we trim a surface.

RE: Trimming

Cut it by either using a flat plane described offset from the surface or if the surface is flat then use that.

Dear Corus,

I have cut the surfaces (a quarter of three-phase cylinder) however, when I run the program I recive the zero pivot warning that seems I didn't define the surfaces correctly. I would be appreciated if you could help me.

Meanwhile, my model is a quarter of three-phase model with different elastic modulus and also at one end fixed and at the other end tensile load.

RE: Trimming

Zero pivot has nothing to do with how you have defined the surfaces. This usually refers to a lack of restraint to the model. Check your restraints and visualise how your model could either move freely in space or rotate in space whether or not a load is being applied in that particular direction.

Dear Corus,

Thanks for your attention.

I have changed D.O.F for several times but, my model still aborted and no result.

I explain my model in previous e.mail. Would you please run this model at your convenient time and see the result.

saeed

RE: Trimming

Sorry saeed but I can't run your model as I'm a little busy right now. Try putting some pictures of the model on to a web-site showing the mesh, and showing the restraints. The more the better. You can use netomat.net for free to post pictures. Others have used other similar sites for displaying pictures.
