Hello,
I am making a model of a 3 point bending test of a steel tube. I mesh the tube with shell elements. For the boundary conditions I restrict the movement of a few nodes on the zone of the supports. To apply the force I create a rigid body on the center of the tube and apply the force on the master node.
What control output blocks can I use to obtain a force-displacement curve on hypergraph? Or there is another method better than this?
Regards
No Radioss expert to define such output directly, but if you have outputs DISP-vs-TIME and FORCE-vs-TIME, you can do crossplot FORCE-va-DISP as described here:
