Tear Simulation

Altair Forum User

Hi,

 

 

Can Someone tell me how do you simulate Tear of materials in M36 Plastic Tab?

Is such a visualization possible for tearing of a 2D sheet in the H3D File?

 

 

yours sincerely,

Hi Kartik,

In /MAT/LAW36 you can provide the failure plastic strain (εmaxp), where the elements will when plastic strain reaches this failure value.

Else you can define this using failure models. There are many failure models available for RADIOSS and the same is attached along for your reference. 

 

A similar tearing or cracking simulation of a plate using this failure card is shown here:
