ANSYS Mechanical Pro Capabilities
Geometric Nonlinearity
|
ANSYS Mechanical Pro enables nonlinear geometry solutions via a simple solver setting. Program-controlled settings take the guesswork out of solver controls. Geometric nonlinearities occur when a load applied to a structure no longer results in a linear response. This applies for large deflections and large strains. Running an analysis in which large strain or large deflection are present using a linear approach could yield very different results. Enabling large deflection means the solver will run a nonlinear solution, which will account for effects like stress stiffening and large strains. Comparisons between linear and nonlinear solutions are easy to generate using the “solution combination feature” as a comparison tool.
