How do we use Abaqus to simulate the orthogonal metal cutting process and check for values of various parameters during the cutting operations ? I would be extremely thankful to anybody who could assist me on this . Tahnking You in Advance ,

Initial stress and strain in ANSYS

Submitted by Michele Camposaragna on

Hi everybody,

 i?m simulating a manufacturing chain finite elements analysis. Every step of this chain have been developed by different software. I use ANSYS. Somoone know how to impose the initial strain and stress state deriving from previous simulations to my ansys model: I'm able to use INISTATE command but only stresses are imported, I loose initial strain info: are they important if my material is elasto plastic? how i can resolve the problem?

 

Thanks in Advance Michele

About piezoelectric resonance.

For 31 mode piezoelectric plate. I have measured it's electric impedance spectrum (curve of Log IZI~ Frequency). I found that, when I used this plate for a piezoelectric sensor to receive mechanic signals. the maximum output  occured at antiresonance frequency;   For example, for piezoelectric hydrophone or receiving-type piezoelectric transducers, It works at antiresonance frequency (at the maximum electric impedance). 

CAL90 software

Dear all,

Do you have a software called "CAL90"?

I am looking for that software to compute the matrices of the dynamic analysis.

Can you please tell me where I can download the software?

Thank you for your attention. Wish you all the best.

Best,

Ray

A question on ANSYS

I want to simulate a thin circular film in xy plane. The force is in z direction. I wanna get the deflecton of the film using ANSYS.

The material is linear, but the deformation is geometrically nonlinear. Also, I consider only stretching behavior, which means that

the bending effect is totally neglected.

Which element I should choose?

 

Thanks in advance!!
