The program uses a mixed mesh with both solid and shell elements.
Run the study and compare results from the solid mesh study and the mixed mesh study.
-
Click Run This Study
(Simulation CommandManager).
-
In the Linear Static dialog box, click No when prompted to solve with the large displacement flag activated.
-
Open the Results
folder.
-
Double-click Displacement1 (-Res disp-) to display the plot.
If the plot does not exist, create this plot.
The resultant displacement plot is shown in inches (in).
A comparison of resultant
displacements between the Ready_Study
and the SheetMetal_Study shows good
agreement. The maximum resultant displacement for the SheetMetal_Study is only 0.6% lower.
