How To Apply Prestrain To Link180 Element in Ansys Apdl V19?

The document discusses applying prestrain to link180 elements in ANSYS APDL V19. It provides the "inistate" commands used to set the element type, material properties, and prestrain value of 0.001903. However, when the model was run, the contour diagram did not show any camber due to prestress. The author asks for a clear step-by-step procedure to correctly apply prestrain to link180 elements in ANSYS.

How to apply prestrain to link180

element in ansys apdl V19?


HI EVERYONE,

Actually i model prestressed concrete beam in ANSYS APDL V19. As i know that it's not possible to apply
with GUI as that of old version ANSYS V12. So i given a "inistate" command like this to apply prestrain to link
180,

inistate,set,dtyp,epel

inistate,set,mat,3 (as mat 3 = properties of prestress strand)

inistate,defi,,,,,,,,,,,,0.001903, is this command is correct.

i given this command once i completed the concrete and steel modelling and then given boundary condition
and then i apply theses command to apply prestrain to link 180, as prestress itself is the first load step in
ANSYS without any external load.

I consider it as load step 1, after this when i run the model and check the camber due to prestress it wont
shows any value in the contour diagram even not deflected upward.

once i applied the commands directly without selecting the prestress steel and then again tried by selecting
the prestress steel, in both case it wont considered the prestrain value at all.

Does i need to do few more steps, if yes please mention.

can anyone please kindly suggest a clear procedure (stepwise) for applying prestrain to link 180.

Thank you,

‫سوف تكون متغيرة‬
