Hi Antonio,
Is it plot of plastic strain?
Where are you applying the loads?
From the plot I presume you are apply the loads in the top of the semi elliptical block, is that correct?
Hi Prakash Pagadala,
this is the model.

This is the analysis. I want to do an analysis of plastic deformation.

Can you help me?
Thanks in advance for assistance.

You are checking Displacement plot.In result type change Mag to Z axis and check displacement.

Default Optistruct would not give strain as output.
In control card request for STRAIN.Then only you would get strain as output.See attached screenshot.


where can I find control card?
Thanks in advance for assistance.


Create your 'Load step' and then Card edit. There're OUTPUT options.


Thank you very much. I did as you said but the wrong deformation remains. I am attaching the wrong strain.
Thanks in advance for assistance.

These are hyper view images using the tool mask.

Could you set Result type to strain and plot results?You have shared displacement plot.




Good morning
My problem is wrong deformation of two solids. you look at the image. near the arrow can be seen overlapping cylinder mesh with meshes of the plan. probably the program does not see well the area of the contact to me determined. can you help me?
Thanks in advance for assistance and disturb.
