When Working on Ansys Non Linear Static Structural Analysis, I couldn't comprehen while defining and assigning material properties to corrosponding bodies.
When I give different random values for density in Engineering Data and runing the jobs parallely the results look SIMILAR for all the independent values, I couldn't fish out on what basis do the software is giving out results.
I'm working on a Multibody dynamics code using the finite element method to simulate the behaviour of flexible beams (using this paper if anyone is interested/ it is relevant). I'd like to model joints, and as I only need spherical friction free joints I believe this should be easy using Lagrange multipliers.
When I run the code, the two bodies part company immediately. Any ideas where I'm going wrong? I'm just simulating a double pendulum with 10 elements in each body for now.
Professor James R. Rice, of Harvard University, will receive the 2014 Theodore von Karman Medal. Here is a link to an announcement.
Lallit Anand will receive the 2014 Drucker Medal. There will be a symposium in his honor at the International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition, 14-20 November, Montreal, Canada. See you there.
Hi all,
Would you please let me know if it's possible, how to identify the length of mesh, time period of step, factor scaling, ... of an Abaqus dynamic explicit problem.
Thanks in advance,
update, 7/24/2014: The information packet ("SFC2-challenge-v5.ppt") is no longer attached to this post (iMechanica has a file size limit of 1 MB, so we can not attach the 6 MB file). IF YOU WOULD LIKE THE INFO PACKET, PLEASE E-MAIL ME, blboyce [at] sandia.gov and copy Dr. Sharlotte Kramer, slkrame [at] sandia.gov. If you have an older version of the information packet, please also e-mail for the newest (v5) info packet.
We intend to send the shear calibration data to all those whose e-mail address I have by August 1st (sorry for the delay!).
Hi everyone,
I am trying to simulate the behavior of a silicon rubber membrane which is being compressed due to the displacement od an additional part which is bonded to it. I want to model the membrane as a Mooney-Rivlin hyperelastic model. Can therefore anyone provide me with a source giving C10 and CO1 coefficients for silicon rubber?
Any help will be appreciated,
Mina
Hello, everyone!
Now, I'am trying to analysis a truncated cone composite shell subjefcted to compression load in Ansys. But I don't know how to set the element coordinate system. I want to set the circumferencial direction as fiber direction, and the thickness direction and generatrix direction as transverse direction. Can any one teach me how?
Thankful to any adivice?

We have installed new gas compressors solar titan 130 turbines
driven. Unfortunately, we have problem of primary vent suction pressure for dry
gas seal (John Crane) Hi Hi.
Our operating parameters are:
Compressor suction pressure: 60 bar.
Compressor suction temperature: 40C.
Compressor discharge pressure: 80 bar.
Compressor discharge temperature: 60C.
Gas Cooler Set Point: 60C.
Compressor suction flow: 10.5 mmscmd.
NPT: 65%.
