Can I have area load panel element and rigid diaphragm panel in same plane at the same time?
How to plot PSD chart in HyperView from acceleration plot?
I am currently using a software tool (e.g., HyperWorks or OptiStruct) to perform finite element analysis. In class, the professor required us to calculate element stresses, strain, and displacement. however, I was able to view stress and displacement results, but I don't know how to enable or view strain results.
Hi, I am trying to import <.3dm> format file type, previously it was working well but in the recent times some parts are missing when I try to import the geometry. Has anyone experienced with importing this file type and faced this issue?
When using the ASCII format for creating CMSMETH reduced stiffness and mass matrix, is it possible to represent the original structure with plotel elements (same as what happens when using MODEL = PLOTEL, ALL,RIGID command with output being H3d format)? Does anyone have an example or documentation I could follow.
If I import an STL file to model polyhedral particles, will the number of meshes affect the computational efficiency? Thanks!
Hello, I am still new to the field of multiscale simulation with MATMDS Material Cards. My model consists of solid elements and the material assignment is done via MATMDS from the Multiscale Designer. I have tried PCOMPLS and PSOLID as properties. Unfortunately, PCOMPLS is not suitable for my simulation because the…
Hello！ What do tangential and normal overlap mean in the contact model？ What contact algorithm is the amount of overlap of polyhedral particles in EDEM calculated? Thanks！
Hello there, I want to create a Failure Theory using the Certification Method tool, using a simple python script. I assign the Xt, Yt, etc with the corresponding Material allowable defined in the MAT8 card but when running the method it shows an error saying "Warning, LongTensile StressLimit not available for element". I…
Which contact model should I use for polyhedral particles (cylindrical)? If there is no contact model in EDEM that polyhedral particles can use, how should I compile the api according to the contact model formula in other papers? Thanks!
