Rigid Body Motion/Out of convergence in ansys Classic 14.5

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on resolving convergence issues in a 2D D-shaped Neo Hookean model analyzed using ANSYS Classic 14.5. User Bruce seeks guidance on the problem, and a suggested solution involves running a modal analysis to visualize the model's movement. It is essential to extract the first 10 to 20 modes and animate them for effective troubleshooting. Additionally, adding mass to the model is necessary for the modal solution to function correctly.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ANSYS Classic 14.5 software
  • Familiarity with Neo Hookean material models
  • Knowledge of modal analysis techniques
  • Basic principles of rigid body motion
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to perform modal analysis in ANSYS Classic 14.5
  • Research the implementation of Neo Hookean models in finite element analysis
  • Study methods for adding mass in ANSYS simulations
  • Explore techniques for visualizing and animating simulation results
USEFUL FOR

Hi all,

I am analysing a 2D D-shaped Neo Hookean model in contact with a Rigid link. The details are in the input file attached. Can someone guide me on how to solve this issue?:headbang:

Thanks,
Bruce

The best way to see what is moving in your model is to run a modal solution on it. Extract the first 10 or 20 modes and then animate them and see how your model is moving. You will have to add mass to the model for the solution to work.
