As in ansys workbench 14.5 or higher version, in material library Shape memory alloy is inbuilt as you can refer in ansys workbench .
Somehow, I am unable to show the shape memory effect and superelastic in workbench even in simple problem definition.
As for your convenience here I am sending link for papers In first paper problem is discussed for eyeglass frame and modeling was also done by using SMA property.
In second paper from page 8-11, SMA application is done for Stent design,
For convenience Here i have attached stent model in STP file.
Kindly give any solution or suggestion or way to proceed this in workbench.

Dear Awani,
I am using ANSYS 14.5 (APDL) inbuilt material models for modelling shape memory effect of SMA materials. If you have experience with APDL you can use the Verification Manual examples (VM273 & VM221) to see an example. As far as I know you can use/link ANSYS APDL to ANSYS workbench. The VM examples that I am telling you can be found in the ANSYS help files and they cover both Shape memory effect and superelastic behavior.
Please contact me again if you need any further clariification, I am working along the same lines to these kind of issues. I ll be glad to help if I can!
Regard,
Dimitris
Hi.
I studied SMAs in my degree thesis for modeling bracing systems in RC buildings. Those braces were made of wires able to provide their superelastic effects along with a little hysteresis dissipation. I made a model in nolinear finite element program drain 3dx by means of the superposition of elastic trilinear finite elements and elasto-plastic elements. Calibrating the linear stiffnesses of the elastic element and yielding stress and hardening ratio of the elasto-plastic one I got the wanted behaviour. Hope I help you.
bye

Dear Dimitris
I am trying to see shape memory effect by use of ansys workbench and i have given the property to the material and tried to do the simulation static structure but after that I m not getting any result
so please help me with this.. ?
how to see shape memory effect ?
Reply me as soon as possible
Regards
Arvind Gautam
