Residual Stress and Displacement - Ansys Workbench
Residual Stress and Displacement - Ansys Workbench
(OP)
Hi,
I need to simulate the following (see the file attached):
1 -) Apply the load to align the edges
2 -) Weld the two pieces
3 -) Remove the load
So what is the residual stress and displacement?
After I will apply the workloads.
I don't know how "weld" the edges after to simulate the load.
I'm using "2D Behavior" simulation with the option "Axisymmetric", because it is
a cylindrical model.
Is it possible?
Somebody can help me?
Thanks in advance.

So I want to joint the edges after the simulation with load (as was the weld), and then remove the load, then solve again.
Thanks in advanced.

I thick this can be done with simple contact.
1)define contact with a small pinnbal so that in initial position there is no contact, contact type Bondend.
2) aplly the load and after the load is applied make sure the contact is now in contact.
3) remove the load the contact will now transfer the forces.
