Dear All,

I have much problem when modelling my project with ANSYS, one of problem that I met always like this 

Hello

Are any analytical solutions for the effective CTEs (coefficent of thermal expansion) of orthotropic composites available?

I am trying to predict the CTEs of a resin matrix with Al reinforced fibers which have a rectangular cross-section (not a square). All the fiber in 90 degree direction. I know the volume fractions and the details of the rectangular cross section as well as the properties of the resin and Al. The CTEs in the two transverse directions are different.

 Thanks and regards

Dear readers

I am trying to carry out a mechanical-magnetic coupled harmonic analysis by using ANSYS. Any ideas, advice or difficulties on this kind of coupled harmonic analysis are greatly appreciaed.

Thanks and regards#

Hi there,

I have been trying to model fracture toughness test in abaqus but unfortunately I am faced with difficulties of how to apply the tensile loading on the compact tension model's pin holes. Most papers I have come across show only pressure being applied on the flat upper most edge of the test specimen instead of the pin holes. Please could there be someone out there who could show me how to apply this tensile loading right on the holes?

Thanks in advance. 

Dear all,

I would like to run a tensile test under ls-dyna of a mild steel  and
apply a 7000 N load to the dog bone specimen on a explicite scheme.

Unfortunately, I
have wild deformations ( and an error) on the nodes on edges where the
load is applied, so can you please tell me what are the importants
constants (like time termination, mass scale,...) and how to perform a
perfect run?

Have a good day,

Thank you

M.
