6. Verification Manuals

The Verification Manuals for the following products were updated for 2025 R1:

6.1. Mechanical APDL Verification Manual

6.1.1. New Test Cases

  • VM322: J-Integral Calculation for Crack in Finite Deformation-Finite Strain Hyperelastic Solid: An infinitely long strip of a thin rubber sheet is clamped at the top and bottom edges with an applied displacement. An incompressible Neo-Hookean material model in plane stress is used. J-integral values are determined. The Mechanical APDL results are then compared the reference.

  • VM323: Total Strains of a Bar with Combined Plasticity and Creep: A bar is modeled using BISO material and a time-hardening creep model. Uniaxial pressure loading is applied in the vertical direction. The loading history is composed of three steps. The total strain history is obtained and compared against the reference solution.

6.1.2. Modified Test Cases

  • VM97 was modified to include four-node thermal shell element SHELL294 (MEMBRANE).

6.1.3. Removed Test Cases

No test cases were removed for 2025 R1.

6.3. Ansys LS-DYNA Verification Manual

6.3.1. LS-DYNA SOLVE Test Cases

The following test cases were added for 2025 R1:

  • VM-LSDYNA-SOLVE-034: Evolution of the Solder Ball Shape Using 1521 Particles: This test case validates the solder standoff height of a solder ball using 1521 particles by reproducing the evolution and final shape of the solder.

  • VM-LSDYNA-SOLVE-035: Evolution of the Solder Ball Shape Using 2197 Particles: This test case validates the solder standoff height of a solder ball using 2197 particles by reproducing the evolution and final shape of the solder.

  • VM-LSDYNA-SOLVE-036: Adiabatic Expansion of High Explosive Detonation Products Using an Eulerian Approach: A copper cylinder containing TNT explosive is detonated at the base using a planar detonation wave. The radial expansion of the copper cylinder is measured.

  • VM-LSDYNA-SOLVE-037: Adiabatic Expansion of High Explosive Detonation Products Using a Lagrangian Approach: A copper cylinder containing TNT explosive is detonated at the base using a planar detonation wave. The radial expansion of the copper cylinder is measured.
