Reply To: Thermo-structural failure analysis

[sachin.kumar]

thanks for your Response:

Actually I already discussed the same with ANSYS concerned person from India and we worked closely from last one month but did not get any success thats why I came to this portal.

1) currently doing 2D plain stress strain analysis. as per your understanding which one will be less computational expensive plain strain 2D or shell element??.

2) non-uniform

3) yes stresses are critical at the junction of mantle and matrix, as per field data failure is occuring at this.

4) sub-model: i have no idea about this could you elaborate how to use this concept??
