Hello Everyone,

I am trying to include a certain Material model into the simulation that is not supported in the GUI pre processor, so i added a command snippet and pasted the material values in there but im getting a general Error. 

The software is still asking to add the material from Ansys library itself.

Any Advice ?

Thanks in advance

Best Wishes Akhil

Hello Akhil,

What error message are you getting? Can you post a screenshot here?

Also, which version of Ansys Workbench are you using?

You should be able to add a command snippet at the geometry level (under a specify body) to use any material model you want (*MAT_). Here is an example with *MAT_001:

 

Let me know how it goes.

Hallo ,

This is the material snippet i used mat 107 modified johnson cook.

My university has a liceense im using ansys 2023.

I think the issue is sorted, it was a difference in unit systems, the problem lies in contact i think

Thankyou.

Hallo Akhil,

Ok, sounds good. Yes, units for the command snippet have to be the same as the selected solver units in "Analysis Settings".

Also, if you encounter an issue, the error message should be printed in the solver output.
