Finite Element Method.

Submitted by Gallardo560 on

Hello,

I would like to develop a Program for finding the Stiffness of a stabilizer bar using FE methods.

I have a fairly good idea about FE methods as to how to proceed but the books i referred to mostly dealt with symmetric solids.

Can someone throw light on FE procedure for such component with a complicated shape(or some books that deal with 3D assymmetric solids)..??

Thanks.

ANSYS LS-DYNA time integration

Submitted by mechanicaldesign on

Good afternoon,

 I have a trouble when I want to made a simulation using ANSYS LS-Dyna, because first of all my model implicate couple 200000 elements, which means 2 parts in contact and second part which must interact with first 2 part.

I made a surface to surface contact using automatic contact. After that I made an array table where I put time (0,1) and accereration of gravity (0,9.81). Other applied constrants are on nodes where the component is fixed. So, I used for output frequency 50 .
