I want to model two rings made of usual isotropic material (such as steel or something compareable) with a ring between them, that should have orthropic material properties. As you see this model is geometrically axisymmetric. But from the scratch the material of the spacer is not.
If Z is the axial direction and X and Y are the radial directions, it would be possible to simplify the material to have biaxial non-linear behavior, with Z dependend and radial=X=Y dependend.
But as long as it would be possible, I would like to use a material that is completely orthotropic.
Does anyone knows if Ansys 11 (classic or WB) offers a possibility to model such a material behavior?
