In this exercise we will build upon the last two exercises and use the material nonlinear model created in Exercise 6 - Nonlinear Material Plasticity and the contact in Exercise 5 - A Simple Contact Problem. A second rigid body will be created that will push down the end of the beam using velocity control. By default, the analysis is one second. Therefore the amount of velocity prescribed in the vertical direction (-30 in/sec) is equivalent to the final prescribed position of this rigid body (-30 in.).
Step 1: Do Exercise 1 - Build a Cantilever Beam
Step 2: Open a New Database
Step 3: Import the Old Database
Step 4: Post the Beam and Rigid Bodies
Step 5: Define the Plastic Constitutive Model
Step 6: Define the Deformable and Rigid Contact Bodies
Step 7: Refine the Mesh in the Contact Area
Step 8: Associate the New Element to Surface 1
Step 9: Submit the Analysis
Step 10: Monitor the Analysis
Step 11: Read the Results
Step 12: Postprocess the Results
The following plots should appear:
Step 13: Closing/Quitting Patran
