while i am using curavture meshing the results for static study are getting least........but i am using p-adaptive and h-adaptive methods the results are getting higher .....
may i know what are the actual settings i have to use when p-adaptive and h-adaptive ?
why the results are altering....?
displacement is rapidly changing while i am using p-adaptive method the displacement is increasing even though if i decrease the element size in meshing the displacement value is increasing , i don't have much knowledge in simulation i am just beginner.....can u please help me what is the best method to use while i am simulating the solar mounting structure right now i am using curvature based mesh and the element size as 50 ....
what types of elements are you using? it looks like it might be beams? is the mesh actually changing?
when you say things are rapidly changing, can you give some magnitudes?
might be worth posting your model here.
no i am not defining them as beams....i am using them as only solids and about connections i am using bonded option in contact sets....
and can u please tell me the options that i have to use for h-adaptive and p-adaptive
need more info.
please post your model or a test model showing the same thing. (this will help you determine if the problem is software or problem specific)
or at least post some data showing what the changes are.
post your simulation workflow.
what results are you looking at? stress? you could be dealing with a singularity.
you should be converging on displacement.
it would be also very helpful to show actual results that you're seeing so that we can better understand what is changing. also elaborating on what you're using from an h and p perspective would be good.
