Unfortunately, this trick doesn't work with shell elements.

Right now I feel kind of stupid. Have switched to MKS system of units (it was uMKS before that) which makes pressure range go from (20·10-12 - 20·10-3) MPa to (20·10-6 - 20·103) Pa and got an ideal agreement with theory. Any ideas? I have tried to set the small convergence value for...

minger, they both have the deltim,1/200,1/1000,1/10 specified. Here is the new mesh with BCs.

Mapes, probably I am still confused, but the ANSYS manual says: Substeps are points within a load step at which solutions are calculated. You use them for different reasons: - In a nonlinear static or steady-state analysis, use substeps to apply the loads gradually so that an accurate...

Hi Mapes, thank you for the welcome. Changing the automatic time stepping to deltim,1/1000,1/2000,1/20 doesn't make any difference. Or am I getting you wrong?

Homework Statement I am analyzing the deflection of clamped circle polysilicon membrane with radius=1500 um and thickness=1 um. The load is constant pressure ranging from 20 uPa to 20kPa. The problem is that my analytical solution doesn't agree with the ANSYS solution. Homework Equations...
