Plate Under Creep Action

In this example, a plate under the action of creep is considered.

Geometry creation

1. Create a rectangle.

On the command bar, select the module for constructing surface geometry (Mode —  Geometry, Entity — Surface, Action —  Create).

Select Rectangle in the list of geometric elements.

Set the brick dimensions:

Click Apply.

 

2. Move the created rectangle.

On the command bar, select the module for constructing surface geometry (Mode —  Geometry, Entity — Surface, Action — Transform).

From the list of geometric entities, select Move.

Set the parameters:

Click Apply.

Meshing

1. Create a mesh for the rectangle.

On the command bar, select the surface mesh module (Mode — Mesh, Entity — Surface, Action — Mesh).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

Click Mesh.

Setting the material and properties of blocks

1. In the command bar, select the module for specifying material properties (Mode - Material, Entity - Material Management).

Specify the material name Salt. Drag the Isotropic Material label from the left column to the column material properties. Set the following options:

In the window on the left, go to the General section and drag Density to the Material Properties window. Enter value:

Next, go to the Plasticity section. Drag Drucker-Prager-Creep Criterion in the Material Properties window. Enter values:

Click Apply.

Close the Materials management window.

2. Set up a block of one type of material.

On the command bar, select the block management module (Mode - Blocks, Entity - Block, Action - Add).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

3. Set the block parameters.

On the command bar, select the block management module (Mode - Blocks, Entity - Block, Action - Block properties/parameters).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

Setting boundary conditions

1. Fix curve 3 in the Y direction.

On the command panel, select the boundary conditions module (Mode - Boundary Conditions, Entity - Displacement, Action - Create).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

2. Fasten curve 2 in the X direction.

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

3. Apply pressure.

On the command panel, select the boundary conditions module (Mode - Boundary Conditions, Entity - Pressure, Action - Create).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

Starting calculation

1. Set the type of problem you want to solve.

On the command bar, select the calculation settings module (Mode - Calculation Settings, Calculation Settings - Static, Static - General).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

Click Start Calculation.

2. In the window that appears, select the directory in which the result will be saved, and enter the file name.

3. In the case of a successful calculation, the console displays the message: Calculation finished successfully at "date" "time".

Results analysis

1. Open the file with the results. There are three ways to do that.

The FidesysViewer window will appear, in which you can view the results of the calculation.

2. Select any point on the surface with the Select Points On tool.

3. Plot a timeline for this point. Select Menu - Filters- Alphabetical - Plot Selection Over Time. Click Apply. Select Stress YY as the field to display on the graph.

Also, using the same filter on one graph, you can build Creep Strain XX, Creep Strain YY, Creep Strain ZZ.

Using Console Interface

Geometry creating, meshing, setting boundary conditions and materials can be performed using the console interface. Below is a link to the program code that allows you to perform the steps described above manual, you only need to specify the full path and name.
