It's been a while since my last video, so bear with me if it is not up to my usual standard.
Anyway, in this video, I cover the following:
How to mesh a shell beam (in our video, it is a ruler)
How to apply boundary conditions more easily
How to use POWER LAW PLASTICITY MAT18 material model
How to import materials easily using text editor
How to use the keyword: INTERFACE SPRINGBACK LS DYNA
How to preprocess and open dynain files.
Here, the method used in this video can be also used for prestress analysis. However, it must be done in two separate simulations as shown in the video.
The material file used in this video can be downloaded from Varmintal's Engineering webpage at:
