Hello Sir,<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I need to find three dimensional micromovements<\/strong><\/span> of a hip stem with respect to bone. Ansys provides in-built option (SLID COMMAND) for evaluating sliding distance. But the software treats it as a scalar quantity, and I need all the X, Y, Z micromovement values.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

What I have done so far…<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have identified the target node IDs that are matched with the contact node IDs by using a custom-written python script. Now, I subtracted the target directional deformation from contact directional deformation per each matched node<\/strong> and got deltaX, deltaY, deltaZ values. I thought this would give the three-dimensional micromovement values per each node. But, when I took resultant (sqrt(deltaX^2 + deltaY^2 + deltaZ^2)) of these directional deformation values, it did not match with the sliding distances readily available as an in-built option. I have also combined sliding distance and gap in various ways, but none of them worked.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please let me know where I am going wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any suggestions regarding any methods are truly helpful. Thanks in advance.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-358136","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-mechanical-apdl","topic-tag-ansysworkbench-ansys-staticstructural-1","topic-tag-contact","topic-tag-frictional-sliding","topic-tag-gap","topic-tag-interface-treatment-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
