nonlinear buckling analysis in ansys
hi, i am modeling a composite shell in ansys for nonlinear bucklin analysis.
i have to apply a displacement from one end keeping radial and circumferential degree constant. I have used shell 4node 181 for modelling and element elemrnt size 10.
Also i have to applied a torque of 0.0005 degree so as to perform torsional analysis on shell.
I am confused how to apply this axial displacement and radial degree of displacement to shell in ANSYS 11.
PLEASE ANYONE HELP ME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!
