Hi
I am using Marc Mentat for modeling and analysis of rubber composite (vehicle tire). I used 9-noded hexahedron 84 element for rubber and 147 for rebar. Under unidirectional loading, the model works well but during bidirectional loading, some of elements are highly distorted. I would like to use Global/ Local adaptive re-meshing technique. But when I assigned adaptive re-meshing, it does not considered the rebar elements. There was separation between rubber and rebar nodes during the analysis. Could you please tell me, how can I eradicate the problem of highly distortion of elements/ how to use global or local re-meshing for rubber-cord composite.
Thank you for your nice comments.
