Material property limits

Material property limits

Material property limits

(OP)
Hello,

I'm looking to define a sort of "miracle material" for aiding in the frequency analysis of assemblies im developing.  The idea is that one could apply a thin film, say .5 mil, over a selected area of a part within the assembly.  The film would be as close to infinetely strong and rigid as it could within the bounds of ANSYS computational limits.  By being bonded to a part, the film would keep the area its bonded to rigid relative to other portions of the part.  I hope to use this as a quick and dirty tool to find the areas that would affect the assemblies the most.  The problem is that i have had little success in converging on the limits that ANSYS will accept.  Does anyone have any knowledge of these limits, or could someone point me to a source that does?

I'm using ANSYS workbench 8.1
Thanks for your consideration.

RE: Material property limits

Hi,

making a material too stiff, could lead to wrong results. You should avoid these.

See the command "cerig", it could be helpful to you.

regards
Alex
