I am fairly new to ANSYS and have been trying to model the interaction between glass micro-spheres and silicone polymer micro-structures for my dissertation research. I've been working through the online manual, but have been getting very odd results when running the simulation. Any help at all would be appreciated. The summary of my problem is as follows:

The 8th International Conference on Structural Dynamics EURODYN2011 will take place in Leuven from 4 to 6 July 2011
The Structural Mechanics division of K.U.Leuven is organizing the
Eighth European Conference on Structural Dynamics
EURODYN 2011 in Leuven, Belgium, from 4 to 6 July 2011,
in cooperation with the Technical Institute of the Royal Flemish
Society of Engineers (TI KVIV) and the European Association for
Structural Dynamics (EASD).
The EURODYN conferences have developed into one of the key conferences
in structural dynamics. Apart from reflecting the state of the art of
research in structural dynamics, EURODYN 2011 will also address
industrial developments and applications.

Nondetermistic material models

I am currently working on design optimization of nondeterministic systems and
would like to find realistic tolerances for the values of material
properties. Does anyone know of a (standard) reference for material
values that is probabistic or at least shows a range of values?

i have relations for tensile and bending stress in a rectangular plate due to a central surface crack for a constant thickness plate . i need to have these relations for a varying thickness plate . can any body help.
