<p>Hello,<\/p><p>I am trying to set up an explicit dynamic simulation with the TNM material model. According to the Ls dyna keyword manual , volume 2 ( dev), this material model supports ELFORM 3, which, to the best of my knowledge, refers to 20 node hexahedral elements. However, when I run the .k file containing 20 node hexahedral element model in Ls Dyna R14 I get the following error : “Material type 318 is not available for solid element type 3″. I previously tried 8 node and 27 node hexahedral elements but received the same error. <\/p><p>Besides, I tried to assign the TNM model to the geometric part overwriting the default structural steel in Workbench Ls Dyna using the command snippet option. I am able to run the simulation without any error in this case but from analysis of the result it appears that the solver is not considering the TNM parameters I have assigned. <\/p><p>I am not sure what I am missing here. Can anybody please point out the right way to implementing the TNM_Polymer model with Ls dyna? I would highly appreciate any suggestions or insights in this regard. <\/p><p>Thanks in advance.<\/p><p>Shahriar.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>  \"\"<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-395274","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"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
