But in this demonstration here use Mechanical APDL. I want to do it in workbench. So, I add nitinol material in engineering data. Add shape memory effect and superelasticity data. During analysis, suppress superelasticity data. As I want to check thermal effect and elasticity, so I use shape memory effect. According to demonstration, I add material properties, made a spring using SolidWorks, Give force, fixed support and also thermal condition. Analysis is 3 steps process according to demonstration. Steps output should be like this-<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The top of the spring actuator is fixed, and the bottom is loaded with a weight of 100 N (I check several weight). Displacements are constrained in the X and Y directions. (step1) After the spring is stretched by the weight at temperature 250 K, (step 2) the temperature is raised to 400 K to lift the weight, and then (step 3) is reduced back to 250 K to lower the weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But It’s not working. It’s not showing any thermal effect and also no large deformation. it shows-<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“The solver engine was unable to converge on a solution for the nonlinear problem as constrained. Please see the Troubleshooting section of the Help System for more information.<\/strong>“<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I did’n understand where I made mistake? How I can get same type result (Demonstrate in chapter 40: <\/span>Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) with Thermal Effect for <\/span>spring actuator) using <\/span>Workbench>Static structural?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I have uploaded my analysis images in my post for better understanding.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-37550","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["9728"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["2317"],"_bbp_subscription":["48646"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_notification_enabled":["446579"],"_bbp_topic_id":["37550"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","168186"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["94126"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["94126"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2019-09-12 11:18:18"]},"test":"lincs2k9"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/37550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/37550\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
