Hi Everyone,

I have an Question. When simulating the stress-strain behavior of a tube using the ACP method, we observe discrepancies in the results compared to static structural analysis (without the ACP method).

(material : Epoxy carbon woven (230Gpa) Wet)

(force = 9.81N Y-axis)

Hi,

I am assuming that the discrepancy is due to difference in material model/ modeling technique between the two. If you can elaborate on what you mean by ACP method then it might help to comment further.

Basically, I have two hollow tube for bending testing and their dimension is same OD=16; ID=14& L=230mm. I try to simulate the tube under two methods Static Structural and ACP pre.

In static structural, I applied material as Epoxy carbon woven (230Gpa) Wet. And I fixed one end of the tube and appling the force(9.81N) on the other end.

And, In ACP-pre i tried to appling the 5-types of layer for laminating under 0°,45°,90°,-45°,0° and the thickness is 0.2mm per layer. After all process, I share file to Static Structural path.then I follow the same instruction for previous static structural way.
