Workshop Objectives • To create nonlinear material property. • To run a nonlinear (Solution 400) analysis • Problem Description • Open an existing simxpert file : contact_nonlinear • Create a stress-strain table to fill in nonlinear material property • Create nonlinear material property. • Perform a nonlinear contact analysis • Evaluate results • Software Version • MSC SimXpert R3 • Files Required • contact_nonlinear.SimXpert • steel_stress-strain_curve.xls
Suggested Exercise Steps • Enter the SimXpert Structures Workspace. • Specify SI-mm units • Open existing Simxpert file contact_nonlinear.SimXpert • Detach all results files. • Create a stress-strain table using data from steel_stress-strain_curve.xls • Add an Elasto Plastic constitutive model to the current material • Update the element property to include nonlinear material data. • Set up and run a General Nonlinear Analysis including strain as an output request. • Attach the results file. • Create fringe plots of nonlinear stresses and strains.
Step 1. Enter the SimXpert Structures Workspace Open the SimXpert Structures Workspace • Click on Structures a
