This example problem uses Nonlinear Mesh Adaptivity in a 3-D large-deformation problem. In large-deformation analyses, such as rolling, forging, and extrusion, elements are subject to excessive deformation, which can eventually cause the analysis to terminate. This example is simulated using the Ansys Mechanical Application. To see this example solved with Ansys Mechanical APDL see Hot-Rolling Structural Steel Analysis with 3D Rezoning in the Technology Showcase: Example Problems.
The following features and capabilities are highlighted:
