convergence problem in interface delamination modeling in ansys

Submitted by saeedspace on

hi every body..

im trying to  model interface delamination in ansys. i use inter204 or 205 for interface element.the problem is that as the stress in interface riches the yield value, the solution doesnt converge.

 

i tried to increase  the number of substeps or decrease the size of element, but the problem still exists.

 

 

input stiffness matrix to ansys

Submitted by saeedspace on

Hi everybody

Im working on a project about Finite element modeling of Contact. Im not allowed to use contact solving feature of ANSYS and i should use its Macro Programming. in this case i should read stiffness matrix from ansys, add some row and column to it and input it back to ansys and solve it.

I have two problem with this, first i dont know how to input modiffied stiffness matrix back to ANSYS..

swiching Nodal Result output to Integration Points in ANSYS

Submitted by saeedspace on

Hi every body

i modeled a plane with a notch with elastic-perfect plastic material. somewhere in model the stress reaches above the yield stress

so i think the reason is that ANSYS reports the nodal result output by default wish they interpolated from integration points results.

i want to see the integration points results but i dont know where to finde them.
