Required force for enforced displacement

Altair Forum User

Hey, I am trying to simulate some potential infill structures for 3d Printing. It wasn’t so easy to get a force equally distributed on the Structure, so I decided to use theenforced displacement analysis.

As a result, I am trying to get the force that is needed to get the implied Displacement. It would be even better to get a stress-strain diagram for each structure.

So far, the simulation is working but I am not sure which control cards or other settings I have to select to get the results I need.

 

Thanks for your help.

Hi @Jonahtan

 

Please use GPFORCE card to get grid point forces.

Thank your, for your fast response.

I have selected the GPFORCE card, but I am not getting a result. I suppose that I selected the wrong settings for the card ( I just started using Hyper Works).

In HyperView I selected the FBD and got an error message which is shown below.

Hi,

 

Can you try with H3D format and leave form and peak to default.

I am not able to select the format you suggested. Could it be that this is a limitation of the student version?

Please make sure to set  Advanced math template while loading result files in HV
