    Bauschinger ANSYS combin Element

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if anybody in here ever captured the Bauschinger effects with spring elements in ANSYS APDL. I have applied a cyclic loading on a uniaxial spring (with steel properties) and trying to mimic possible strain hardening/softening I have tried Combin39 alone or...

    re-run analysis after convergence problems

    Hi, I would like to know whether it is possible to re-start analysis after convergence problems (using Ansys 15 APDL). I am running a material nonlinear analysis and the solution stops at about 70% of the total load. At this stage, I wanted to change the material properties of few elements...

    Solid46

    Hi, I have been using solid 46 in Ansys APDL I am dealing with sandwich element. In this case, I do have 3 different layers. However, I want to have the second layer oriented 90 degree from the principal axis (x-axis). This will make a huge difference as the material used is orthotropic. I...

    Transient analysis with birth and death elements

    Thanks so much for your reply and advices. I will consider them. Nevertheless, I would like to know whether it is possible to run both static and transient analysis in one solution. Say LS1 : static analysis (time at the end of loadstep: 3) LS2: transient analysis (time at the end of...

    Transient analysis with birth and death elements

    Thanks so much, I am simulating a transient condition with multiple static loadsteps and willing to kill a particular column in the second loadstep. The Time at the end of first loadstep is 5 and time at the end of second loadstep is 5.001 (its here that I am willing to kill a particular...

    Transient analysis with birth and death elements

    Hi, I have been working on disproportionate collapse of buildings (a simple 2D frame), and trying to simulate the dynamic effects of a sudden column removal in ANSYS 11. I have been working on it without success for the past two weeks and I genuinely do need help. I have created 3 different...
