Dear Everybody,

 

I use ansys workbench 19.1 and run an analysis for a truss. I applied constant force at the purlins. I also want to apply increasing  thermal condition, and observe the effect of the degradation of the Yield strength and Young's modulus. I use line elements edited in spaceclaim.

As the first step, I need geometric initial imperfection, thus I wanted to connect my static structural-Eigenvalue buckling solution with a new static structural analysis, (because of  the lack of finite element modeler in newer versions)

The analysis run without problem till the eigenvalue buckling.

 But I always get an error message, and can't make an operative contact between the calculations.

In Workbench, right click on the Solution cell in the Eigenvalue Buckling analysis and Update.  Wait till the cell gets a green check mark.

Then right click on the Model cell and Refresh.

If you don't get a green check mark on Eigenvalue Buckling, then you have to open the first Model cell and investigate why in Mechanical.

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your fast reply, it helped me a lot.

I succeeded to continue with the nonlinear analysis, but new problems appeared. I've found this topic: "Modelling plastic deformation of a column", with the the same problem, and you gave  links in your comment on 29 March 2019. Unfortunately these links are no longer available, could you repost it here please?

It seems ANSYS has gobbled up this site as it no longer exists.

I found the pdf file here.

the same problem I use ansys workbench 2021 R1 and run an non linear plastic static analysis for a SHS section column it's ok. but I have to Questionsn1) I want to connect Eigenvalue buckling solution to static model not active. n2) I want to add initial Imperfections in geometry but i can't do that.nnI appreciate anyone have advanced help to fix my problem. thank younn
