The latest enhancements in Creo Ansys Simulation introduce robust support for nonlinear materials, expanding the scope of simulations to include a variety of complex material behaviors.

Newly Supported Functionalities:

  • Neo-Hookean Hyperelasticity: Ideal for plastic and rubber materials, this feature enables the study of nonlinear stress and strain behavior under large deformations.

  • Linear Orthotropic Elasticity: Supports materials like wood, rolled metals, or any material whose properties depend on directionality. This is particularly useful for transversely isotropic materials.
  • Bi-Linear Plasticity: Facilitates large strain analysis for elastoplastic materials using the Linear Hardening law.

A Creo Ansys Advanced license is required for support for all the nonlinear material types.

These functionalities simplify the study of advanced material behaviors in models, allowing for realistic and accurate simulations. For example, large deformation studies can now include Neo-Hookean hyperelastic materials, enabling better design insights.
