We have some problem in ANSYS Mechanical with origami artificial muscle simulation.

      Hi Kunn It may be more helpful if you describe specific problems you are getting separately.
      I cannot download your files, but in terms of highly distorted elements, do you have an appropriate number of substeps specified? It's good to ramp the loads and use many substeps, if needed. Review your converged substeps to determine what may be going on - for example, to see if the lack of a boundary condition can be causing elements to deform and distort excessively.
      It is good that you are simplifying the approach by only including the origami structure, but you should consider further simplifying to ensure that the model setup is appropriate.
      Regards Sheldon

      Kunn, I looked into your .rar files you uploaded. You have placed a *.wbpj file in there along with a Parasolid file.
      A *.wbpj file is useless without the *_files folder of the same name. This site does not allow *.wbpj files to be attached.
      Please use the Workbench File, Archive menu to save a *.wbpz file which combines those two items in a single file that can be attached to your reply. In your reply, say what version of ANSYS you are using.
      There are file size limits. You can reduce the size of the *.wbpz file by clearing the mesh and not saving any results in the archive file.
