I am doing a nonlinear simulation for a wall made using solid 65 in Ansys APDL and I have a problem. I simulate a wall with two types of load.The first load is vertical load and the second load is horizontal load. I need to put the vertical load at first time then I will run the model. After that, I need to restart the result from the first run and put the horizontal load. When I use the restart option it, the second run did not take the displacement value from the first run in consideration. So it give wrong result. How can I solve this problem.
Another problem face me during this model, also I insert the material as nonlinear one, the load displacement curve is linear curve not nonlinear curve, I do not know what is the reason for this problem. I insert the material properties like those who came from experimental results.
Thanks
can you give 2 different load steps one vertical and one horizontal using load step option.Then setup program can be run using:solve>form LS file(type starting -1 and ending -2).May this help.
Hi Eman,
Can you share your model so I can check how you are setting up your nonlinear analysis parameters and your material model?
Dear Eman,
Do you need to get the post deflection after the ultimate load?. If so try to do displacement-based analysis
Hello Eman
After you got the result of the first analysis you should use "update geometry" the last step and replot to see the deformation, after that you put your second load and run the new analysis
While inputting the material curve, the slope should be within the limits. you can also doe a displacement based analysis
