How to Define Tangential Constraints for InspireExtrusion User
Altair EmployeeHow to Define Tangential Constraints for InspireExtrusion User
Why we need this?
The movement or displacement of the tools in the tangential direction are fixed by connection in real dies, if we would like to create the analysis model closer to real, this kind of constraints will be need. We can’t implement this only in InspireExtrude by now. we need to corporate with HyperMesh/OptiStruct.
How to do?
1 Stage--InspireExtrude:
# Build the model
We need to create the couple analysis model in InspireExtrude as usual. and fix all the out surfaces of dies with Ty (the second DOF, it is same as DOF in cylindrical system)
# Launch the job with Export Option:
All definitions and controls are done, we just Click Run button, and export the solver deck files.
2-Step--HyperMesh/OptiStruct
# Import the *.fem file
Import the *.fem file created by InspireExtrude in last step
# Define a Cylindrical System
Create a cylindrical system on the center of the model
#Assign/Use the system
We need to Assign the system you just created to all nodes of your dies as their Displacement system
You DON'T need to change the DOFs of the constraints, because you already defined them in InspireExtrude.
Export the *.fem file and copy it to original location then override same one.
Submit the job by Computer Console or Command line. You CAN’T run the job inside InspireExtrude.
