Virtual wall stiffness value's
Virtual wall stiffness value's
(OP)
Hi Guys,
Simulate a flange support with a virtual wall.
Now, how does one calculate the stiffness of this wall?
E/t [N/m^3] is suppose to be the axial stiffness, where t is the wall thickness. Can one clarify this somewhat?
Can i also retrieve the stiffness with a test model? Suppose i would load a similar setup and measure the compression?
Would the stiffness then be: Stress / compression distance?

RE: Virtual wall stiffness value's
what do you mean with unit force?
Thanks you in advance.

Often it is worth modelling the attachment as well as the test item.
