Minimum Bending Radius Simulation
 

Hi,

I would like to perform a simulation to analyze the minimum bending radius of an aluminum specimen. The specimen is a thin channel with an irregular cross section. I can't figure out the best way to go about it as I'm mildly versed in ANSYS. If there was a way to time and directionally vary the force on both ends maybe that could work but I'm not sure how to obtain that. If anybody has any suggestions or advice please let me know.

Thanks.
