"...I'm a freelance consultant, and your site's helped me with many issues. I just wanted you to know that someone does appreciate the intelligent help your site offers."
I am currently trying to model a material (an S.M.A) with 2 values of Young’s Modulus of Elasticity at 2 different temperatures: E=31 KN/mm^2 at T= -5C and E=79 KN/mm^2 at T= +25C. I have a 3-D component set up to which I apply a sufficiently large force to take the material past its yield point, so that when I remove this force the component stays in its displaced shape (or very near to it). This is carried out at a temperature of T= -5now want to apply a temperature of T= +25C. This change in temperature and E should make the component want to revert back to its original position, but it doesn’t. Is this a limitation of ANSYS, that a material can only have one value or each property? Has anyone else had this problem, or can anyone offer any advice? Thank you very much. By the way I have the 2 values of E and yield stress set up as one material model and ANYSYS correctly plots me a graph showing this data. Any ideas?
