We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

  3. How do I perform material curve fitting for Ogden hyperelastic foam? Note: I attempted to adapt an old input file (and data files) I once created that successfully define an Ogden hyperelastic model to Ogden Hyper-Foam by simply changing all occurrences of “Ogden” to “foam”. When I did so, I get these messages: *** WARNING *** CP= 9.484 TIME= 13:25:08 Base term is negative in Base^Exponent. Absolute Value of Base Term is Used Then I get a visual C++ runtime library error and ANSYS aborts.
