Compression Test

Altair Forum User

Hello,

I am new to hyperworks and I have an issue that I couldn't solve it for a week. I had tried to do a compression test simulation on AL6061 but Even though I defined MATS1, NLPARM, And SPCD the result is zero. I modeled another file and it is full of errors that I couldn't find the source of them. Could you please just take a look to my models.

Thank you,

Farzad

Hi @Farper

I have modified only one model (attached below):

-SPC should be referenced in load-step

-nodes which are given the enforced displacement (SPCD) must also be fixed in same DOF using SPC

-changed the SPCD value to -50 so compressive displacement is applied
