3 Large Deflection & Snap Through Effect


The Large Deflection Application and Snap Through Effect Verification Example has the objective to verify the functionality of the large deflection functionality. The load intensity is increased step-by-step for finding the position immediately before snapping through as well as the new position of equilibrium. The structural model is of a circular two-dimensional structure with constant stiffness, as shown in the picture below.
