    Convergence problem-please help

    Hi there, I am trying to do damage modeling in ANSYS using the cohesive zone material model. So, initially to test if it works I tried it on a simple curved model using solid 185 element for the curved material and inter205 element for the interface between the 2 curves. But I am always getting...

    Advantage of FEM-simulation over Analytical models

    Hi, I am doing structural analysis for linear case. I have compared my FEM results with few analytical bounds and the results are comparable to the Analytical models. So my question is Can somebody explain in detail the advantages of FEM-simulationss over Analytical models? Thanks Vinston

    effective properties

    Hi, I am not sure if I can post my question here, but if someone has idea please reply. Recently I have performed 2D-FEM simulations at different temperatures. Young`s modulus and Shear modulus are comparable with the experimental as well as Analytical methods but Poisson`s ratio is much lower...

    thermal analysis

    Hi all, I would like to simulate tensile test at higher temperatures i.e. I want to do thermal analysis of my material. So is it just enough to select entire set of nodes of my model, assign the temperature and continue like normal FEM simulation?? Or do I also need to apply thermal boundary...

    How to assgin properties to elements?

    Hi, I have an ABAQUS input file and would like to convert that in to ANSYS input file. The problem I am facing is, in ABAQUS after the nodes and elements are defined, the different elements can be assigned to different phasee just by giving element no's, but where as in ANSYS, along with the...
