Simple ANSYS Problem

Submitted by cm005429 on

Hello,

 

I have a simple problem but I am having a mental block concerning combining three different materials with different poisson's ratio and modulus.  The problem is a plate with a hole and I can generate a mesh and apply load but I can not seem to create three materials and combine them together.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Here is what my input file looks like:

/Title, Isotropic Plate w/ a hole and mesh refinement

*Set, a, 1000e-6

*Set, r, 100e-6

*Set, p, 15e6

*Set, E1, 12e9

*Set, E2, 15e9

*Set, E3, 6e9

*Set, PRXY1, .27

*Set, PRXY2, .3

*Set, PRXY3, .29

I have only one area with it's constituent properties mapped onto the other areas.  They must be glued together but I need them to have different properties.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for your time.
