    Solid 186 & 187 shape functions nomenclature - fast question

    Hello. I really need urgent help just to understand de nomenclature of the shape functions for elements SOLID186 and SOLID187. It is present in ANSYS help, and I even have the Zienkiewicz book, but I don't find the meaning of...

    Ansys Multinear Isotropic Hardening material

    The last point should be the the ultimate strength or the point where it breaks? Thanks

    Ansys Workbench - How to list the element types

    "flash3780 (Mechanical) 25 Oct 11 8:32 You could open your Workbench Mechanical database in APDL and use the ELIST command. " How do I do that? Thanks

    Ansys Multinear Isotropic Hardening material

    Hello again! Thanks in advance for your help until now! I'm inserting a multinear isotropic hardening table to describe the plasticity in a material that I've done a Tensile test. The Ansys Help says that the first point inserted should be the Tensile Yield Strength and the strain should...

    Ansys Workbench - How to list the element types

    Hello. I'm using Ansys Workbench, and unlike the APDL, it hasn't got a way (that I found) to get the element types and keyopt list like we had in the classic by LIST->PROPERTIES->ELEMENT TYPES. I tried solver output, but I didn't get that information there since I changed the "Element Control"...

    Ansys Workbench nonlinear plastic analysis

    Well, I got the solution (at least I think I did!). If there is anyone with the same problem, for this exercise you just need to chose 2 things: Element Control in Geometry - Manual Brick Integration Scheme in Solid - Full With the recommended mesh, you just need this to get more accurate...

    Ansys Workbench nonlinear plastic analysis

    Done it, but still not converging. Anyway, if I have to make all these changes for a nonlinear analysis in complex pieces in future, that I haven't make analytic calculus, I can never be sure of the results... That's by biggest fear... The "Element Control" to "Manual" and "Brick Integration...

    Ansys Workbench nonlinear plastic analysis

    Hello. I've the 12.1. In Nonlinear controls only have: - Force Convergence - Moment Convergence - Displacement Convergence - Rotation Convergence - Line Search Best regards

    Ansys Workbench nonlinear plastic analysis

    Thanks again! I'm trying to see if it collapses only near 36000 lbf.in (1.5 x 24000 lbf.in). Large deflection is on, but I don't know how to turn on that Stabilization, how should I do it? Best regards!

    Ansys Workbench nonlinear plastic analysis

    Hello. Thanks in advance for your reply! I used the theory present in Tymoshenko book, present in the WBVMMECH029 reference. The calculus really say that for a rectangular cross section beam, the Moment that make it enter in the plastic area is the 24000 lbf.in. Correct. However the book...

    Ansys Workbench nonlinear plastic analysis

    Hello. I'm stuck in this problem. I need to work in Ansys Worbench in the nonlinear plastic deformation. However I'm not having good results. I'm trying to reproduce some analytical solved problem in the program, like the WBVMMECH029 problem of the Workbench verification manual. However I'm...
