Update 3
I found a workaround for the issue. I defined the student version (type double) next to a normal version (both 14.1) in the same version definition (see XML). When I force LS-DYNA to use Double in Mechnical, I am able to use the solver. But I beleive it is another bug that the file is not recognised in the way I described in the previous XML, or did I overlooked something?
Just as a remark, I found another unfixed bug in this and previous versions of Ansys Mechanical concering the editing of the scale bar (happens with RTX3070(ti) graphics drivers). The workaround I used via tab “Automate” was described here: https://innovationspace.ansys.com/forum/forums/topic/unable-to-edit-mechanical-contour-legend/.
Current Focus
I’m still running into the node limit in our simulation and trying to fix issues reguarding the fracture of a specimen during a tensile test (can’t find a suitable material that runs with LS-DYNA, only “General non-linear materials”, but they don’t fracture). Afterwards, I need to find a way to define a cable / rope like structure (tried using a beam, but didn’t get it working yet) for our actual research project and a way to implement the CFD on the moving rope (snapback of the mooring line). For the rope we tend to design something with the same rope-like behaviour as this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTYLuf6IU70&list=WL&index=13) in 3D via Workbench and Mechanical, but we don’t know where to start as we didn’t find similar tutorials.
Kind regards,
Bram
