    Abstract: ANSYS UserMat and its corresponding special MACRO are developed for implementing the linear matching method (LMM) for the limit analysis by using ANSYS. By this, pre and post-processing for the limit analysis can be done in the sole ANSYS circumstance without a help of any additional programs. Once user creates the FE model and enters the parameter... Show More
