    cohesive zone without cracks

    Hi all, I had inserted an interface layer (INTER 20X) between two layers of different composite material to simulate exponential cohesive zone behaviour in ANSYS. Is it possible to use czm without any form of crack in ANSYS? I'm having troubles obtaining a smooth stress curve without a crack...

    coordinates of INTERface elements

    Hello all, Hope you can help me out with this I’m trying to mesh the interface of a cylindrical solid using CZMESH. I created a local cylindrical coordinate using CSWPLA,11,1, and mesh it using CZMESH,,,21,X,radial_location. But the INTER 20X mesh is not in the desired condition. Attached is...

    carbon/ epoxy orthotropic prepreg properties

    Hello, I would like to find the material properties (values) for MR50/LTM25 carbon/ epoxy orthotropic prepreg necessary for my finite element work. It would be great if anyone can suggest to me which reference/ internet links/ books where i can find the material properties for carbon-epoxy...

    missing midside nodes

    Hi, I am trying to generate INTER20X elements using CZMESH commands. but i keep getting the error message "no cohesive element was generated between solid elements xxx and xxx (and possibly others) because of missing midside node(s) or other connectivity issues" i unselected my area mesh...

    three layer rotating concentric cylinder with ANSYS

    Hi, I am modelling a three layer rotating concentric cylinder with ANSYS to investigate the interlaminar stresses. Hence a 3D analysis is unavoidable. It is a solid shell element. Is it possible to model it in one solid cylinder instead of three and define the layers via the section command? Or...
