where to go for the computational modelling?

Submitted by Wei Ong on

This post is to share where to go for the computational modelling. Should computation modelling focus on advance the solver convergence or focus on experiment verification?

The experiment verification always expensive and high cost involved. For solver convergence, it is always take time but less cost involved, however even with advance computational power and smart equation, we always face problem on verfiy our result through experiement stage.

Calculating SIF in Zencrack

Submitted by Xambel on

Hello,

 

I'm trying to run an analysis on Zencrack on a CTS (compact tension specimen) with a through crack block to evaluate stress intensity factors. I believe there's something going on but I surelly can't find what's missing. This is the message from my report file :
