Hello all,

I try to simulate an 3-point-bending modell for creep. I have real test data from 3-point-creep-bending. I choose the Norton Creep Modell and define the creep coefficient C1-C3. The Creep Coeffients are right.

I got different types of normal polymer (APS, PP, PC-ABS) and i will try to simulate the 3-point-bending-test.

The curve of the real test data have a non-linear progression. But the curve in the simulation only linear.

What should I do, that die Curve in the simulation looks like the curve from real test data?

I have two loadsteps. First one without creep, only for the force. The second is with creep.

Thanks in advance for your support.

The time unit looks suspicious to me. The experimental curve, it appears to be in terms of hours (Zeit h?) ~140 h. The Simulation endtime goes to 13 sec. I don't think we can change the display unit for time in Simulation, but shouldn't the endtime value be closer to 140?nPerhaps it is correct and I am just not understanding what these graphs represent, but the time units appear to be inconsistent.
