Anybody can help me?

Hi all, I am trying to make a hyper elastic simulation of a polypropylene shell. To characterize the mechanical behavior of this material, I make tensile test in two directions (longitudinal/transversal), the measurement are very different. My question is: if it is possible to create an...

Thank you for your answer. In my case, I have 2 APDL files for and I would like to execute the APDL's files and save the 2 .db files for each run. Could you explain the different steps to do this macro? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I would like to know if it is possible to solve and save differents analysis with a macro file? Thanks in advance.

The reults with your method are very good ! Thank you for your help Alex ! Cheers

mihaiupb, thank you so much for your help. And now if I want to model the global displacement of the strongback, I must to use the CP's?

If I do not use some CP's or contact elements, the membrane is not supported any more by the strongback. Probably I do not understand waht you mind...sorry for my english... This is my apdl file with a simple geometry and with no contacts and CP's, it probably help you to understand my problem...

Hi all, I am using Ansys classic to model the mecanical behavour of a membrane. The assembly is composed by a strongback (it looks like a square mesh), in this part, a thick film of polymer is glue and a pressure is applied. So to model with Ansys the mechanical behavour, I use solid element...
