Hi all. I am running a static structural analysis on a glenoid implant that will be fixed to the base via press fitting technique. How do I show this on ANSYS. I read a paper where the author "pre-stressed" the "cavity" where implant will sit, by displacing it by a certain distance (to increase the cavity size so that the implant can easily sit in the cavity), then after the implant was fixed in the cavity, removed the displacements on the cavity (to bring the cavity back to original size) and then in a different time step applied the load in the implant.
How to I increase the displacement on the periphery of the cavity to increase the size?
either by applying initial strain or applying prestressing force in the first stage ,then the vertical external load.

If you are running the model in static structural analysis, then go ahead with atleast 2 to 3 time steps. First time step will be pre-stress, Second will be loading probably third case will be second set of loading....
