incompressible material by augment lagrange
« on: April 21, 2013, 01:30:03 PM »
Dear all

Can someone share experience on how to impose incompressible constraint by augment Lagrangian option?

I am now using nu is close to 0.5 for the modified neohookean material, but the stress calculated is terrible. I guess the reason is J is near to 1 but different with 1 in the penalty method, so I hope to use the augment langrangian option which could make J is exactly 1 (is is true?).

Do I also need add 'augm loop' in solving section?  If I decrease the penalty value (K or nu), what value for 'augf, number of augmented iterations' should I choose for holding the incompressiblily?

Thanks very much for your kind time.  :)
