    Custom damage rule in ANSYS fatigue module

    I think ansys fatigue module only has Miner's rule type linear damage rule. How can I include a custom damage rule in ansys fatigue model? Can I do it by APDL ? if yes, how?

    When can I use Symmetry boundary condition

    Hi, I have a model which geometrical symmetric but load is not symmetric. Can I use symmetry boundary condition? I am talking about planar symmetry not axisymmetry. For eaxmple, a reactangualr plate area which is symmetric about its midplane. So I can model quarter of it and apply symmetry...

    modeling cross-sectional distorsion of beam

    Hi, I wanted to model beam where cross-sectional distorsion is allowed. For example, top flange of an I-beam (W14x34)deforms. I have tried Beam 189. But it is timoshenko beam with shear stress constant through the tickness. That means plane section remains plane. I don't want that. For my...

    3D contact- unconverged solution one or more elements highly distorted

    Hi, I am trying to model a situation where load being applied to a flat surface through a soft rubber like loading patch(curved surface).I was using displacement control for contact analysis and tried many things so far with no luck. Here is the problem description for you all...
