Increasing Force or Displacement

Altair Forum User

Hi, i'm trying to model a 3 point bending in optistruct using a non linear quasi static analysis.

My objective is compare with a real test. I'm modelling a sandwich structure exactly with the properties of the honeycomb and the carbon fiber laminate.

The problem is that i want to use an increasing displacement like 2mm/minin the upper cilinder, the same as the real test. Is there any way to do that i already define the contacts between the cilinders and the plate?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi,

 

please refer to example OS-E: 0180 3-Point Bending using RBODY.
