Hello Support team,

I am using HyperMesh 14.0 and ANSYS workbench 17.0 (ANSYS Mechanical).

I am performing a Explicit dynamic analysis on 2 bodies which are non-linear.

 

I am using HyperMesh for meshing only and all other things (Material selection, Boundary conditions, Analysis set-up) are performed in ANSYS explicit dynamics model.

 

However, my question is about element type selection. Could you please tell me which element type should select in this scenario?

 

I used Solid185, but I didn't get any results with this. Would you suggest me any other ET Type?

 

Also, if you have any document which would guide me through this process (Meshing > Set element type > Export to ANSYS), it would be great.

 

Waiting for your kind response.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Vishal

    The choice of element type for Ansys's analysis has nothing to see with Hypermesh. Maybe Ansys's tutorial could help?

    You can refer HM Ansys interface online tutorials.For selection of appropriate EL type you could refer Ansys documentation.See attached screenshot for online tutorials.
