Hello All, Does anyone know how to simulate a tensile stressed membrane using ANSYS? I have done modal, static, and harmonic analysis without any stress in the membrane using ANSYS. I am expecting to have some intrinsic tensile stress (100~200 MPa) in reality. So, how do I include this tensile stress effect for the analysis? By the way, we use ANSYS 8.0 Thank you for your help..Sincerely.============================================= ============================= Kwon, Dae il Intelligent System Design Lab.
