explicit

Hi guys,

can anyone explain to me why the stresses calculated in Expicit are greater than the ones in Standard when doing a quasistatix analysis? Is it because the mass is taken into regard?

Thanx,

Thinking about it, it is also strange because reduced Integration elements are used, and therefore the stresses should be smaller.

What Explicit/ Implicit step types did you compare? Are you sure you modeled exactly the same problem ?

yes, I'm quite sure.

In the steps I compare, I only put some pressure on the parts. First I calculated the problem statically and then qausi-statically in explicit.
