Hi
I try to make a spun pile connection with the pile cap.
My input data for the CDP is 52 MPa, but I try to plot the result for S33 is 83 MPa. Can someone explain this kind of problem?
Use Tools -> Query -> Probe Value to check the results at the integration points of the element with the maximum stress. I guess the difference comes from a coarse mesh and the result extrapolation in postprocessing.
@FEA way okay thank u so much mister. Anyway, can the confinement effect cause this problem? Just wondering my model has the confinement for the spun pile model
Try refining the mesh and make sure that all interactions between parts are properly defined. Also turn off results averaging before reading stress values.
