software

i am using Deform 3D for my analysis but wats the problem in this software i cant input the material properties,flow stress of the material so the validation with theoritical becomes difficult so if anybody doe know about this how to input the matl pproperties and force of the press please help me

hello to all,

                 I m new to composite material analysis, I am  doing a project for wind turbine analysis in ansys. The wind turbine contains total 96 layers of two different material which is stacked alternatlly. i dont know about the modelling and analysis procedure of composites. i don't understand how to connect the surfaces.

                 thanking you..............

I am working on a FEM project in which i should import a complicated 3D model to Ansys.

 I created The IGES format of the model which the size was 52Mb for the IGES file.The model contains very curvy surfaces and it is complicated.it is created By 3D doctor....

when i import it to ANSYS it doesnt create any volume and i can see only small areas. 

now how can i make the model more handy for ansys....also i need to have a volume in order to meshing....

could u please help me to get out through this?

Thanks 

Hi,

I am new in ABAQUS. I am trying to find the thermal stresses created by change in temparature of 50'C for lainate consisting of [90/+45/-45/0]s configuration. Eventually what I intend to do is find the stresses under a simple uniaxial load which also consider the change of temperature while calculating the stresses in each ply. I have the material data for the coefficinet of thermal expansion both for longitudinal and trnasverse directions (alpha_11 and alpha_22).

Is there any suggetion of approches I may take.

Many thanks in advane !!!!
