Hello Everyone,
I am currently modelling a pipe connection and as a part of the loading, an internal pressure is applied. I am applying this internal pressure via both Loads-->Pressure AND Interactions-->Pressure Penetration.
My question is regarding which surfaces to apply the...
Hello Everyone,
I am currently modeling a pipe connection in which there are helical threads on both the pin and coupling. Due to the extensive computational cost of running this model in 3D, I have created an axisymmetric model.
I am simulating make-up of the connection by using the SHRINK...
Hello Everyone,
I am analyzing a model in which contact pressure distribution is analyzed along a path of an instance.
Normally, I would be able to define the path using the 'feature edge' method, but this is not working.
Since I am performing a mesh optimization, the path definition...
Hello Everyone,
I am trying to analyze the contour integral results of an angled crack that goes all the way through a 3D steel plate in tension. The crack or 'slit' is modeled as an XFEM crack and the appropriate contour integral results are requested.
Once the analysis completes, contour...
Hello Everyone,
I have a model comprised of CAXA4R2 elements and ISL21A contact elements. When defining the *Slide Line, I specify a smoothing parameter of 0.3, however I would like to decrease this smoothing parameter upon completion of the first step.
I considered using the *MODEL CHANGE...
Hello Everyone,
I have a model in which there are two concentric cylinders with initial overclosures.
This model will eventually incorporate asymmetric loading so I have created the model using CAXA4R2 elements along with ISL21A slide line elements for contact.
The contact pressure...
