Hello,

I'm trying to run a 3 point bend test. The supports doesn't matter, if possible i would like to make it rigid, but to avoid stress concentration in a point i need to model this contact between the support and the I beam.

How can i do this, or find some tutorial more focused ?



Thanks !

    Hi,

    Please refer the RD-3595: Three Point Bending with HyperMesh tutorial available in Help Menu. This tutorial demonstrates how to set up 3-point bending model using HyperMesh and solved in RADIOSS.

    Great ! With this tutorial i could solve my problem of stress concentration.


    Do you have something about modeling adeshive or giving at least a max shear ratio between two composite board ?

    I'm working on a composite optimization of an I beam for a 3 point bending test, and the I beam is made of 3 plates of composite, glued. I would like to evaluated who will fail first, the composite or the glue

    Thanks !
