Week 9 Tension and Torsion test challenge

Objective of challenge: To perform a Explicit dynamic analysis of tension and torsion test on the specimen. For the tension test, displace one end of the specimen to 18mm while keeping the other fixed and for the torsion test, need to displace one end of the specimen to an angle of 1200 degree. Find out the total deformation, equivalent stress and temperature of the specimen.

Simulation setup configuration as follows:

1. Model as follows

2. Part names are specified as

3. Material applied for both tests

4. Coordinate systems configured as
