We tried to do the same thing with a circular full section bar, fixed on one side and with traction applied on the other side.
Obviously a non linear material it was used, with a typical steel sigma epsilon curve.
What we noticed it is only a thinning on the fixed side, but not in the middle...
First of all thanks for answering.
Ok. I have done what you suggest:
- non linear analysis (material and transient model);
- many substeps;
- pinball region adequate to gap.
Still no convergence is reached.
I have noticed that the problem is that one component is subject to a rigid...
Hello all!
I'm modeling with ANSYS 12 (workbench) an assembly made up by components which are initially in "gap" condition, going in contact after deformation due to the applied pressure load. I tried in a "static structural" analysis by settings the manual contact regions type "frictionless"...
