In this Salome Meca Tutorial, we will go through one of the most complex simulation on this channel,
a leaf spring simulation with 3 distinct types of nonlinearity: Nonlinear Material, Large displacements and nonlinear contact !
I chose to divide this tutorial in 2 parts because it is a very complex simulation and there are many intermediate steps
we need to go through to get it right.
In this first part, I will first setup a simple elastic study of the spring alone.
Then I will make it nonlinear and introduce increments and material nonlinearity.
In the part 2, we will look at how to define the nonlinear contact correctly and get the convergence of the solution.
Here's what I will talk about in this video:
00:00:00 Introduction to the simulation
00:01:50 Importing the CAD
00:03:55 The methodology of this simulation
00:05:15 Preparation of the geometry
00:08:40 Preparation of the mesh
00:11:02 Linear Static Simulation in Aster Study
00:15:17 Let's have a look at the results
00:20:24 Transforming into a nonlinear elastic simulation
00:31:14 Nonlinear Material and Hardening function
00:37:21 Definition of the Material Behavior Law
00:40:50 Limiting the number of increments
00:45:01 Results and conclusion of the part 1
