Hi, I am simulating the effect of design parameters on welded joints. Despite that, I applied only 1KN.m bending moment on the model but the out put Von Mises stress values are abnormal and of order 10e9 around the welded joints. why?
the attached file is the complete project which is meshed and run and contains the results for anyone wants to see the model.
Hint: the rared file is ansys workbench 16.1.
Dear Professor(Ahmed Taifor )
Kindly Requested to you Recheck your Constraint Area.......
May i know How to constraint by area or surface or line or element
Greatest Regards

Dear professor Sathishkumar,
Regarding the constraint, the steps that I did are as follow:
1. Right click on the static structural and inserted fixed support
2. In fixed support I selected the side faces of the chord ( the horizontal tube)
Regards
Maybe you have a geometrical singularity (intersecting surfaces with zero fillet radius)
I checked your model and realized that you performed a linear analysis. For that reason the magnitude of Von-Mises stress was so high. As Denis Benasciutti also mentioned, you have singularity in your model. I suggest that you use "multilinear kinematic hardening" approtch instead to get a better accuracy in your model. You can do this, from "Analysis Settings" "Solver Controls" turn the large deformation "on" and rerun the analysis. Hope that helps.
Dear Mr. Ahmadi,
I did as you advised me but unfortunately, every time when the solution bar comes to complete it returns to the beginning.Then starts to solve again and this process continue to repeat. However, would you please turn on the large deflection and rerun the project. When the analysis completes kindly, rar the project and its file as I did and send it to me. Accept my sincer gratitude for your kindness and cooperation.
Regards
The thing you explained is absolutely "normal" since the model has to be solved several times before getting converged. Don't worry about the progress bar. If you want to see how your model is progressing, do the following. Click the "Solution Information" on the tree. Change the "Solution Output" from "solver output" to "Force Convergence". Here you will see how your model is being converged (Force Convergence has to get below Force Criterion). Let me know if you had any other problem.
As always, Please recommend this answer if it worked for you and let other people to find the correct answers faster.
Regards,
Dear Mr. Ahmadi,
Thank you for your reply.
I' ve changed the solution output to force convergence but no data to display scentence appeared on the screen as you can see in the attachment. I really wonder why?
Best wishes
Wait until the first analysis is done. First progress bar is completed, then you will be able to see the force convergence result. You have almost 600k nodes and elements. It takes time to solve. Let me know how it went.
Dear Mr. Ahmadi,
Thank you for your reply, the state of force convergence can be found in the attachment image.
Best wishes
