      Try smaller mesh sizes (minimum size, etc...) in the patch independent mesh method. You can also set smaller sizes usign a face or body sizing.

      There is also some sizing where you can control the max size on the global mesh object.

      Also, set the shape checking to standard Mechanical on the global mesh object.

The Road to Innovation is Driven by Simulation

Join us for Driven by Simulation, an exciting new video series that shows how simulation enables the rapid innovation transforming the way we move — on the street, off-road, or at the track. Each episode celebrates breakthrough tech that’s paving the way for safer, faster, cleaner, more connected driving experiences.

Tensile Test Simulation Best Practices

It is fascinating to compare experimental and simulation test results for a tensile test specimen. The ability to conduct tests virtually, rather than physically, utilizing virtual simulations for testing not only increases efficiency but also leads to significant cost savings. In this crosstalk, we will address some of the challenges typically encountered in uniaxial tensile simulations.
