Hi Jorgen, just to wrap this one up (an alternative solution was found), I wanted to answer your query about incompressibility. The base element mat...

Jorgen, thanks for your reply. I have done some trials tuning the time steps, with little luck. Regretfully I am not wawre of options to improve th...

Hi Jorgen, thanks for the reply. the tbdata command in question determines: first value: how much, in percentage, is lost (shear modulus wise) in ...

Hi, I do not have references to any academic work, but thought it would not harm if a method we have sometimes used is presented.This might or not b...

Hi there, the choice of the elemnt to plot on is something which depends on the aim of your work. From what you say it looks like you are interested...

Rm447, thanks for your clarification, I wrongly assumed the surface was geometrically defined (actually my advice refreed to the trivial case of a pl...

Hi there, I will step in on this one hoping I can help a bit. From your plot I would say strains will not be uniform, which might happen in an engin...

Mccasillo, I found your post timely as I am learning how to model viscolelasticity in ANSYS. I do not quite understand one of the ways ANSYS uses in...

Hi All, I am not sure I have understood the query, but I will give my best shot. If what is needed are the numeric results for stresses / displaceme...

Jorgen, many thanks for this clarification Muzialis

Jorgen, your last comment about crazy stresses sounds very interesting but regretfully I do not think I understand it at all. Would you mind extendi...

Jorgen, thanks for your reply. I do not regretfully have nay experience in user defined materials. Might be a good occasion to start thinking about ...

Jorgen, thanks for your reply. My question was badly posed indeed, certainly there is not a best test. I am just trying to understand which one rep...

Jorgen, many thanks for your reply. Just to close this thread, what would then the most rigorous way of determining the shear modulus relaxation be?...
