Dynamic failure analysis with ansys

Submitted by ranganel on Wed, 12/02/2009 - 20:09

I would like to perform a dynamic structural analysis with ansys.

How can I include in the analysis a check after each time step about the status of some elements ( check whether they are broken)

"kill" them if need to and continue the analysis.

Thanks,

Ran

Modeling grain boundaries using FEM (Abaqus)

Submitted by ayoub on Tue, 12/01/2009 - 19:22

Hi,

I would like to model a microstructure using Abaqus. My question is how to deal with the grain boundaries ? Should I use cohesive elements ? Any ideas on modeling grain boundaries using FEM will be very helpfull.

Thanks,

Ayoub

inclusions

Hi all

I am phd student and working on aluminium alloy 2214. i wanted to know if anyone here has experience of FE modelling of inclusions present in alloys by Ansys? i have characterized my material n i know inclusion distribution n size. can anyone help me in this regard?

Merci en avance
