Custom expansion in ANSYS
Custom expansion in ANSYS
(OP)
Hello there!
I would like to make a simulation of radiation-induced volumetric expansion of minerals by showing development of stresses in ANSYS. I have a function which describes swelling and a model of polycrystalline rock, my guess is that I should somehow modify built-in tools like thermal expansion and make it develop by my function. My question is how do you simulate default expansion? Are there any related sources?
Thank you for your answers!
