The test set up is tank being raised to sit on two 2"x4 " wood blocks which are laying transversely to the length of the bottom of the tank and which are sitting (not fixed)on 4 inverted plastic buckets. This was done to measure the displacements on the bottom of the tank (it gives us some...

Unless I give a fixed constraint, I always get a rigid body motion error. How do I solve that problem?? Any ideas?
Also I was told by our Workbench Help desk that to simulate a non linear buckling behavior, I need to turn the large deformation ON, which I did. What it does is allows the...
Thanks for your input btrue...
I have a PE foam molded on to a PE skin so compatibility is not an issue (meaning they are chemically bonded)
I am not too experienced in buckling and nonlinear modeling and my guess is that the physical tank is showing signs of buckling in the vacuum test (How do...
I am looking using ANSYS Workbench and am not getting comparitive results to a physical test.
Material- Polyethylene and Foam composite
Non-linear analysis
The FEA results show higher tank stiffness compared to buckling like behaviour on the tank
