Summary

In this tutorial, an ANSYS input file was modified to make it compatible with Helius PFA.

Three sections of the input file required modification:

1. Material definition
   • Replaced elastic material definition (MP commands) with the HELIUSPFA command
2. Solution controls
   • Added NROPT, PRED, NSUBST, NEQIT, TIME, and CNVTOL commands to make the non-linear solution process more efficient and robust
3. Output requests
   • Specified SVAR output for every substep
