ANSYS VISCOELASTIC MODELING
Hi,
I am trying to model a sheet of Poly Vinyl Butryl (PVB), which is a viscoelastic material in ANSYS. I have all the regular properties like elastic, shear and bulk modulus, poisson ratio, denstiy and damping factor. I also have a stress- strain curve of PVB. With all this data, is it possible for me to find the various constants in the viscoelastic models using ANSYS?
Thanks

How to define Pre-Strain (or Pre-Tension) in ABAQUS?
Hi,
I want to medel an overhead line conductor in Abaqus. As you know, the suspended cable has a parapolic (or catenary) profile under its weight. There is a pre-tension (or pre-strain in elastic region) on the cable due to its weight.
I found in the help of Abaqus that I can use the "Bolt load" option to define the pre-tension, but it does not work for my model. Because my model doesn't have surface to choose for this type of load (it's a 2D wire part).
Would you please let me know how can I define this pre-tension (or pre-strain) in my model?
