Project Schematic
The Project Schematic should look like this
• From this schematic, you can see that the
Engineering Data, Geometry, and Model (mesh)
have already been defined.
• It remains to set up and run the FE models in
Mechanical.
• Double-click on Model cell A4 to launch
Mechanical.
• Verify that the units are set to
Metric (mm, t, N, …).

Model Description
Familiarize yourself with the model’s geometry, mesh, contact, and boundary
conditions.

Model Description
Verify that the model is linear:
Large Deflection set to “Off” Bonded contact with MPC Linear material properties only Confirmation: In Analysis Setting

Postprocessing
Review results from the Eigenvalue Buckling analysis:

Modes 1 and 2 have the same load multiplier—they are


symmetric modes (orthogonal principal directions).

The Mode 1 load multiplier (3.437) can be used to calculate


the critical load:
Buckling Load = ForceApplied * 
Buckling Load = 500,000 N * 3.437 = 1.718 MN = 175.2 tf

Project Schematic
Return to the Project Schematic and
duplicate the Static Structural analysis:
• RMB > Model cell (A4) > Duplicate
• Rename the new analysis system to
“Nonlinear Model”

Project Schematic
Drag an Eigenvalue Buckling analysis system from the Toolbox onto the
Solution cell of Analysis System C and rename the new analysis system to
“Eigenvalue - Nonlinear Model”
Open a new Mechanical session by double-clicking Model cell C4

Analysis Settings
Change/confirm the following Analysis Settings
in the nonlinear Static Structural analysis:

• Auto Time Stepping = On


• Initial Substeps = 2
• Minium Substeps = 1
• Maximum Substeps = 10
• Large Deflection = On

Solution
Execute solution of the Static
Structural analysis.

Select the Solution Information


branch of the Static Structural
analysis and set the Solution
Output Detail to Force
Convergence. The nonlinear
static model converges after 3
iterations.

Postprocessing
Review results from the nonlinear pre-stress analysis and compare them with
the results from the linear pre-stress analysis:

Deformation and stress results are similar. Thus, the stiffness of the two
models as calculated by the ANSYS solver are similar and the results of the
follow-on eigenvalue buckling analysis should also be similar.

Nonlinear-Based Eigenvalue Buckling
Perform the follow-on eigenvalue buckling analysis:
• Ask for 4 modes to be calculated
• Confirm that “keep pre-stress load-pattern” is set to
“Yes” (this will use the load pattern from the static
analysis)
• Solve
• Select the Solution branch for the Eigenvalue Buckling analysis
• In the Graph view,

Observe that Modes 1 and 2 are still symmetric:

Nonlinear-Based Eigenvalue Buckling
Compare the nonlinear-based and linear-based Load Multipliers:
Nonlinear-Based Linear-Based

The Load Multipliers are different, but remember that the critical load
calculation is also different, as it depends on the nature of the pre-stress
analysis:
Nonlinear-Based Linear-Based
Buckling Load = ForceRestart + ForcePerturbation *  Buckling Load = ForceApplied * 
Buckling Load = 500,000 N + 500,000 N * 2.443 Buckling Load = 500,000 N * 3.437
= 1.721 MN = 175.5 tf = 1.718 MN = 175.2 tf

As expected, the critical load is similar for both cases.

Go Further!
Change the contact region Formulations to Pure Penalty, set Large
Deflection to Off, and verify that this formula applies even if the pre-stress
model is linear:
Buckling Load = ForceRestart + ForcePerturbation * 

Introduce an additional nonlinearity (e.g., an elastic-plastic material) and


assess its effect on the critical load.
