    length of a deformed line

    Dear Ansys Users, I am doing a warpage simulation. I have a bi-layer material. Simulation starts at 150°C, it goes down to 25°C. At 150°C, the material is straight (like a rectangular box). At room temperature (due to different CTE of the materials which constitutes the bimaterial), material...

    Calculating Stiffness in ANSYS Workbench

    Hi, Apply displacement to the part /or load Then select a node check stress-strain response by these values, you should be able to calculate the stiffness. Best Regards, Sartor

    Viscoelas/Material Macro/Input File/Scripting

    Hello everybody, I am creating a model in APDL. 1)I create the geometry 2)I select my element (plane 183 for instance) 3)I save the database. 4)Now, I have prepared a macro where my material models were implemented. When I click Material Props/Read from File: and then select my material macro...

    APDL/Modeling/BC/Saving/Database/

    I did all the things I wrote + RESUME_DB and READ_RESULTS... now it is working. Thanks a lot. Best Regards, Sartor

    APDL/Modeling/BC/Saving/Database/

    Hello everybody, I have a very basic question. After doing my simulation, I am not able to get back my data/see my BC/Results. I will describe what I am doing step by step. Maybe somebody can tell me what I am skipping. FIRST STEP 1)I opened the product launcher and type XX as jobname. 2)I...

    ANSYS V12_Thermal Expansion

    Please take care about how you define the effects of thermal expansion. it can be defined by three different ways in ansys: -secant coefficient of thermal expansion -instantaneous coefficient of TE -thermal strain. I would suggest that you go through the help file in order to understand what...

    Max Principal Stress / Vector / Bending / Torsion

    Linear elastic orthotropic, Hills potential, Multilinear isotropic hardening well, max principal stress, we used to estimate failure location. Best Regards, Sartor

    bending/shift of neutral axis/nonlinear simulation

    That makes great sense. Thank you very much for your patience rb1957. Best Regards, Sartor

    Max Principal Stress / Vector / Bending / Torsion

    We were also surprised but that was exactly what we wanted to see at the beginning before investing money into some more complicated things. FE-code does not know anything about our fiber layup. We are not applying any failure criteria at the moment, although it seems like tsai-wu will work for...

    bending/shift of neutral axis/nonlinear simulation

    I did not understand what you mean by tension and compression areas. Imagine a normal bending case, bottom surface is under tension, and top surface (where I apply the dsplacement)is under compression. Normal X is almost same as Max Principal. I am just applying a displacement! I attached an...

    Max Principal Stress / Vector / Bending / Torsion

    I totally agree with your general idea. That is how it is supposed to be done. "If you're working in composites you have to tell the computer the fiber construction. typically it's a ply lay-up for a face of a surface/panel. typically there's a pre-processor that takes your fiber properties...

    Rotating a 6x6 matrix

    @kacarrol: Sorry for the late reply. I did not have time to go over your document. However, I found something which I believe, would be helpful for you as well. 9. Solutions for anisotropic materials http://www.engin.brown.edu/courses/en224/anis_general/anis_general.htm I hope it helps you to...

    Max Principal Stress / Vector / Bending / Torsion

    @rb1957: I totally understand your concern, however, I do not agree. We know our material. Before deciding if we need a code which describes our material, we would like to see what are the capabilities of the things that are already implemented in commercial FE-codes. Best Regards, Sartor
