oh thats just an example. i used shape mesher and box shell to make that. am i on the right path? sorry to confuse you

since i want side of my square to be 38mm. what i did was 38-1.2=36.8mm. Then 36.8/2 = 18.4mm. so this is how i define the x y for my square as shown ...

but how do i know if the thickness is going outwards or inwards?

is this where i defined the thickness? if i want it to be thickness 1.2mm? shellthickness.jpg

hey. do you know how to mesh a hexagonal tube? I tried using solidwork and import IGES file to PREPOST, but the i'd have a double layer of the tube. i...

i fixed it already. it was my ls manager that was the problem it was outdated. anyways, do you where i can find a good stress vs strain curve data for...

i got error termination upon using the implicit general keyword.. i tried with different DT and still error termination. help? error.jpg

0.33286E-03 is the timestep for my "100 smallest timesteps". idk why it didnt show just now. So, multiply that with 1.05 = 0.349503E-3. So this will b...

I'm sorry. But i couldn't find it. d3hsp.zip

I still don't follow what you said above. Below is the normal termination of my simulation from d3hsp file. Which one is the calculated timestep? ti...

i'm watching this hour long video explaining about implicit analysis and she said something about IMPLICIT_GENERAL to activate the implicit solver. Ho...

not yet. i'm still trying to figure out which implicit keyword i should define. Btw, my case is considered as non-linear right. Below attached the for...

I fixed the square tube. And i think the previous one was kinda wrong because it has two shells as you mentioned. I'll attach the updated one below an...

i'm creating a model based on past journal given to me for guidelines. since i'm not doing any experimental work, i just used the exact same dimension...
