Hi,
I am doing an explicit analysis, i am trying to model a woven fabric structure. I have to pre-stress the fabric so i have used this option.
*AMPLITUDE, NAME=name
*SECTION CONTROLS, RAMP INITIAL STRESS=name
Details from INP file
*Membrane Section, controls = SC, elset=FABRIC, material=FABRIC
0.5,
*AMPLITUDE, NAME = RampStress, DEFINITION = Smooth Step,time=total time
0.0, 0.0, 0.0025, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0
*SECTION CONTROLS,NAME=SC, RAMP INITIAL STRESS=RampStress
5.13
But stresses were not developing in the structure.
Any kind of help is much appreciated
Thanks & Regards
Ashwin
