Reply To: Issue with *MAT_318 : *MAT_TNM_POLYMER

Hi Pedram,

 

Thank you for clearing up my confusion. It means a lot. I badly misunderstood the documentation and thought that TNM model only supports solid elements ELFORM 3, 5, 7. I previously tried ELFORM 4, and it didn't work, which added to my misunderstanding. After your response, I tried different solid elements and found that the model works for several other ELFORMS, as you said. I moved forward with ELFORM 10 and my model result also matches well with the experimental data. 

I have one last query: What versions of Ansys come with Ls Dyna R14? Or the Ls Dyna version is not related to the Ansys version a particular client has access to? I am asking this because my end goal is to run batch simulations with a particular HPC cluster. I am wondering what type of Ansys license they should have so that I can run my MAT_TNM_Polymer based Ls Dyna model.

 

Regards,

Shahriar.
