Elmer Discussion Forum

Hello, from other FEA suite (the expensive commercial ones) i know functions like "kill nodes". What i want to do: I do have a bi-Metall beam (2D), which is joined at elevated temperatures and then cooled down. So at room temperatur the beam is deflected. Now (in reality) i would start gri...

Hi,
i just tested the new 4.1-Version of Paraview. And it works again.

Hi Matthias, thanks for your response. I also think it is in my paraview, because on your machine it works. Paraview-Version: 4.0.1 64-bit OS: Windows 7 64-bit Elmer: 7.0 I assume something with the read-in procedure, but the strange thing is, that other vtu and vtk file created by other elmer modle...

thats really strange. I already check the vtk files by hand with notepad++. But i didn't find a difference to a "linear elasticity"-model. And there it works. And also at your side it works too. But on my side: paraview color scale can not see the values. I also tried to adapt the color sc...

at least on my computer, this does not help. There is no reaction when i'm pressing the "rescale" button. Also when pressing "edit", the dialog box shows "min: 0" and "max: 1" (which is not true) Also if i'm using the "data analysis" tool "plot ...

Sorry for the late response - i've been on holiday. I tried vtu also but the same result. Paraview displays "nothing" (just blue surface) and shows a scale of 0 to 1. But if i look into the data cells, then paraview states the correct range. Please show attached picture. paraview_elastic_p...

Hello, last week i tried to visualize a elastic plate model result (VTK) in the latest Paraview (4.0.1). But unfortunatley Paraview cannot display the Deflection(.1-.3) anymore - the contour is depicted but the colour-code is only blue. If i go to "Bounds" in the "Information" re...

Hi shevablue,
what is the solution ? Can Elmer do this (and if yes: could you briefly describe the methode?)

Thanks.

Hi raback, thanks for the quick answer. Unfortuanetly i'm not able to use it. Could you give me a piece of Code how to use "spring"? And i'm not sure if i made my point: I want to simulate the plate deformation by use of "elastic plate solver" (Smitc). Therefore the pins (from th...

Hi all, i try to simulate the deflection of an elastic plate placed on some pins. The plate is pushed to the pins by a pressure. But i'm struggeling how to put the boundary condition. At the moment i simply put Deflection 1,2 and 3 at the pin position to 0. But finally I would like to have a "s...
