I’ve been trying to implement eigenvalue buckling simulation for solid elements

      I've been trying to implement eigenvalue buckling simulation for solid elements using MATLAB to perform linear buckling analysis. When calculating the geometric stiffness matrix for eigenvalue buckling, I referred to ANSYS documentation Help 3-61: https://www.mm.bme.hu/~gyebro/files/ans_help_v182/ans_thry/thy_geo3.html. However, after trying it out, I found that the geometric stiffness matrix calculated using the formula differs from the one output by ANSYS APDL, which makes me doubt the result. Does anyone know how to solve this? I’d appreciate any help or advice from experienced folks.

      I derived Cook's theory and also rewrote Borst's theory. When they introduced the calculation formula for the geometric stiffness matrix of solid elements, the geometric stiffness matrix they computed had non-zero elements. Why is the geometric stiffness matrix output by ANSYS APDL entirely composed of non-zero elements? Was the calculation incorrect?

        In ANSYS APDL, the geometric stiffness matrix for solid elements is often fully populated with non-zero elements due to the nature of how the stiffness matrix accounts for deformation in various directions, including coupling effects between different nodes and degrees of freedom. This doesn’t indicate an incorrect calculation. Instead, it’s likely related to the complexity of the solid element formulation, where even small geometric changes can introduce stiffness contributions in all directions. Cook’s and Borst’s theories might present a simplified view, but finite element software like ANSYS tends to handle more complex interactions. worms zone io mod apk

      Thank you for your reply. Could you recommend any literature? I would also like to personally implement linear buckling analysis in MATLAB and benchmark it against ANSYS, which would be a very rewarding task! Thank you so much!

      Why haven't any ANSYS staff responded to me? Recently, I also tried Němec's theory (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). However, the geometric stiffness matrix calculated from the theoretical formulas still doesn't match the one in ANSYS APDL. What could be the reason for this? I sincerely hope that someone knowledgeable can resolve this long-standing confusion for me.

      It seems you're delving into advanced simulations with MATLAB, but resolving discrepancies like this requires precise implementation of formulas and boundary conditions. Ensure the mathematical derivation aligns perfectly with ANSYS theory. Meanwhile, on a lighter note, exploring the Worms Zone.io MOD APK -https://wormzoneapk.com/ could be a fun break!

      That sounds like a complex task! Eigenvalue buckling simulations for solid elements require precise boundary conditions and meshing.
