ANSYS - Nonlinear analysis -Deflections and the loads

Submitted by senthil1947 on

Hi All,

I would like to apply the below:

1) Apply a prescribed displacements to a cantilver beam 

2) Save the deformed configuration

3) Apply the loads on the deformed configuration

4) calculate the final deflections 

How to do it in ANSYS or the best way to do it

Thanks in advance

Colleagues,

I'd like to check if there are any good resources or ways to find additional co-op for a PhD student which will supplement current research in material science and optimization problems related to plastic deformation of sheet metals? More info about my area of research can be found at http://www.alexschmidt.net/research/default.htm and my CV http://alexschmidt.net/research/aschmidt_cv.txt 

Spectral Element Method Mesher

Hi,

Is there a free/open-source mesher for the Spectral Element Method?

I know some researchers use conventional mesher with order 3 elements and then include more nodes in the meshes (but without improve the geometric interpolation).

Thanks in advance,

Nicolás Guarín Z.
