link 8, introduced tensile curve and compression curve

Submitted by toni on Mon, 02/25/2013 - 17:56

Hi.

I'm working with the element link8 (Ansys 12.1) and I have to introduced the tensile curve and compression curve, but I don't know, How I have to introduced its???

I have worked with the comands: TB: aniso, miso,..., I think the best option is: TB, user, but How I have to introduced the values of tensile and compression curve?, when this are different.

File attachment is the tensile and compression curve to introduce

Thank you, Toni

I am preparing a deformation for compisite material by using VUMAT. I get the tesnile stress but the results can not show the meterial damage (fracture). How can we show the element damage?

Finit element Analysis of mandible bone with implant

Submitted by king_man on Fri, 02/22/2013 - 16:28

Hi everyone

i work on a bio mechanic project. i am going to simulate a mandible bone
with implant. at first i want to use Materialise Mimics V10 to convert Ct Scan
data of a mandible without implant to a 3D model. i thought i could edit
the exported file on the other software (Ansys or Abaqus) to add the
implant. but, exported file from mimics can not have any edit .Actually
it has not volume and i need to have a 3D solid model. please help me !
