Why am I getting deflection after applied zero force in ansys transient analysis during elastic stage instead of zero deflection?

I did multiple load steps with ansys transient, after some time when i applied zero force, my model gives some deflection, but within elastic limit, i think that deflection (DMX) should be zero,...

Does a space group change via centering translation will give an additional peak in the XRD?

Centering translation does not reduce the no of symmetry elements. only position of symmetry elements varies Ex P63 /mmc to P63 /mcm.

Resistor definition in Piezoelectric bimorph with ANSYS workbench

Hello, good day! I am trying to simulate similar bimorph piezoelectric harvester with below commands. However, the output power doesn't change with resistor value. Please help to find the reason. ET,10,CIRCU94,0 !SET UP RESISTOR R,1,100000 !RESISTANCE VALUE TYPE,10 !SET ELEMENT TYPE E,1,2 !CREATE RESISTOR BETWEEN NODES 1 AND 2 Thanks in advance Regards,

Why are the velocities so high in my Boussinesq approximation Fluent simulation?

Hello, I have a mechanism where air rises due to convective flows. In this simulation, nothing is driving the air except this. I understand that the Boussinesq approximation only works for small...

Martin Baeker Popular answer

If you did a puprely elastic simulation, you can simply plot the von Mises stress and see in which regions it exceeds the yield stress.

Christoph Viechtbauer

I am not definitely clear with your questions but there should be an option in the ansys post processing tool which allows you to select elastic and plastic strain values
