Hello

I hope everyone is doing fine.

I want to ask why my values coming 1/1000 less than the original values from Ansys solved examples.

The problem is 'Delamination Analysis of a Double Cantilever Beam Using Contact-Based Debonding'. For detail you can visit

Sorry sir to bother you again I know you did not use this feature but I think the problem seems only in units, not in any contact bonding problem. I am a little desperate to find the solution as I have a deadline. Kindly help. I will be grateful.

Hi

Set also the model units to mm kg .... in WB mechanical like shown below - you have it as meters now as I can see from your model and the length scale bar in UI model window.

That + solver units like you have done, did it when I tried it.

Thank you

Erik

Dear Erik
Thank you very very much for the constant help.

I did exactly according to your advice I tried that same too again. Changing that in the model only changing the units in the interface. I have already double-checked and it is giving the same error as previous. It is not converging and the values are 1000 times higher than actual.

For example, to show the properties I put is exactly the same
My simulation

Ansys Solved
These are CZM and composite material respectively. I really don't understand where is the difference. I even changed the Ansys solved model according to mine to show
My simulation

Ansys Solved

If you see the workflow it is exactly the same, so it's kind of a mystery. Even if I change everything exactly as mine Ansys giving correct result than me. Kindly help please.

Dear
Sorry, can you please share the link where this type of delamination problem has been solved by Ansys step by step. Here as far as I remember you shared a link, but unfortunately I can not find it now, please share the link again where it is explained step by step the delamination problems and the Ansys file. Sorry, I am in a hurry, that's why tagging you directly.
Sorry its not this page :https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v195/wb_vm/wbvt_VMSIM089.html
There is a different page where it has been carefully explained each step in ANSYS, I need that page, kindly help.
