I am using Ansys to study behavior of shear for reinforced concrete beams and I need to plot Load Deflection curve, as shown in the attached picture is load vs time, but I need Load vs deflection
You have to select the reaction force at the fixed position exactly opposite direction where you applying load tensile or compression it may be. Get the reaction force values and deformation values from the table.
By making adjustments in the time steps you can get number of values from initial to final deformation, and initial force to final deformation. If you are still unclear. Contact me I will make a live demo on this!
My LinkedIn profile contact me I will clarify you!
You can create Load vs Deflection Curve by selecting force reaction and displacement at the same time and clicking at Chart select axis X displacement and Axis Y force.
If you apply force, the time will be a linear parameter with the time so you can only evaluate the displacement time relation and convert the time to load
if you apply displacement, use the following steps
