Running the Transient Study

Before you run the Transient study, you need to have a mesh. You also make sure to have a compatible mesh between the bonded components.

  1. To define a compatible mesh for the bonded components:
    1. In the Simulation study tree, right-click Global Interaction (-Bonded-) and select Edit Definition.
    2. In the PropertyManager, under Advanced, select Enforce common nodes between touching boundaries.
    3. Under Bonding Formulation, select Surface to Surface.
    4. Click .
  2. To mesh the model and run the Transient study:
    1. In the Simulation study tree, right-click Mesh and select Create Mesh .
    2. In the PropertyManager, under Mesh Parameters, use a Standard mesh with a Global Size of 1.50 mm.
    3. Under Options, select Run (solve) the analysis and click .
