ABAQUS/Standard - 2D beam elements vs 3D shell elements

Dear collegues,

I am modeling deformation of a simple triangular shape, /\, which is constrained at one end and the other end is free to move on the x direction. There is a displacement loading on the top corner and the output is the reaction force on the y direction at the free end.

I used Abaqus/ Standard and modeled this problem in 2D beam elements and 3D shell elements. The material is aluminum with plasticity and nonlinear geometry is on.

Compressive Strength of Fabric??

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica:

I am trying to model a rubber impregnated fabric as rebar in Abaqus Standard. It seems that the rebar is only good in uniaxial tension load and it causes convergence problem in bending and compression loading. The fabric and rubber matrix has a compressive strength and that is critical to the model that I am analyzing. What would be a good approach to include compression on fabric rebar? The compressive strength of fabric matrix should be an order of magnitude lower than the tensile strength but I do not have a test data in compressive loading.

how to show the stress in the thickness direction when you use the shell element with abaqus

hello,

  • 我使用壳元素模拟一些过程,发现the results have big difference between abaqus and lsdyna. the abaqus results always show the stress in the thickness direction is zero. but the lsdyna is not. i don't know why? if some one know that, please give me some suggestions. i heard that the abaqus can not show that stress component. if not, how can i do to calculate that and fill it into the results file (.fil file). thank you!

Beginner with abaqus.. need help modelling an impact load

Hi,

Im really quite new to using abaqus and I am having trouble with my modelling. Esentially it is quite an easy problem but my knowledge of the programme is limitted. Basically all I want to model is an impact load on a wall but im not sure about the analysis steps. Initially i have been using a static step with a concentrated load but I dont know how to model the dynamic response the wall should experience after the load has been applied.

If anyone can help with this I would appreciate it a lot.

About the half-step residual tolerance in Abaqus

This days, I am working on the dynamics analysis using the Abaqus. the implicit dynamic integration method in abaqus is HHT-alpha. I found that a very strange parameter about the method is the half-step residual tolerance . I don't know the parameter is whether important or not and how to determine it.

thank you very much :)

Hi All,

Thanks for your help so far. I have one last question to the forum. Please do answer whatever you know. How can I compute Material Jacobian for my UMAT subroutine?

best regards

Probelm with Abaqus/Explicit

Hi,

I am using cohesive elements to model the interface around a
circular inclusion. First I used Abaqus/standard I got proper results
but when I used same values with an amplitude curve (tabular, linearly
applied) to apply load quasi-statically in Abaqus/Explicit, I could not get a converged
solution. Field variables are oscillating and elements getting
distorted excessively. In Abaqus/Explicit I am applying load very
slowly but even though same problem persists.

Abaqus UEL subroutine help

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica:

Greetings to all Imechanicans ! ,

I just started using the scripting interface in Abaqus, and i stumbled into a small issue, I have a sample input file which is a small model for crack simulation and its UEL subroutine, I know how to open the input file but I don't know how to open the UEL subroutine that goes with it, I get the following error :

The model "projGH" has been created.

Hashin damage model for fiber reinforced composite in ABAQUS

Hi Everyone,

I am doing a project in which I am trying to study about the
drilling of composite. The aim is to optimize the drill and process
parameters to minimize the damage. For this I have tried to simulate
the drilling process in ABAQUS and I am using the Hashin damage model.
The problem is that Hashin damage model works only for the lamina which
takes only plane stress elements. Since only plane elements are allowed
I am unable to simulate cutting action of drill as the composite plate
is effectively 2D.

Modelling Hyper-elastic Plate Using ABAQUS

Dear All,

For months, I have tried to model a plate with circular hole which has the properties of hyper-elastic material (Ogden) but the results are still not promising compared to literature (Y Basar 1998). The main problems are:

1. The maximum load I succeeded to apply was q=26, while literature had applied load up to 90. For q > 26, the analysis will terminate with errors such as too many attempt, excessive distortion etc.

2. The results I get for q<26 are not the same as literature.

I attach my best result for your viewing.

Abaqus: equally space amplitude

Hi,

I've been trying to apply a displacement to a body in an implicit model using equally spaced amplitudes.

Elasto-plastic theory - ABAQUS

Hello,

I have started to study the plasticity theory few months ago. I'm trying to do one exercise in plane strain of one elasto-plastic material in ABAQUS and manually.

When the load is small, the material has just deformed elasticly and the total and elastic strain in z-direction (E33 and EE33) are zero (like say the theory of plane strain).

嗨,我am using Abaqus.

Need to model simple beam-column connection (with beam elements). Connection should allow rotation but not translation. I am new to Abaqus so please help.

Tried connector section, defined it, but I dont know how to use/apply it.

modeling of Porous medium and its solution methods in ABAQUS?

Hi all,

I am krishna working on FE knee joint modeling in ABAQUS. I am beginner to Abaqus
As i have read from the journal papers, I understood that cartilage and meniscus are poroelastic (porous medium).

我的轴对称模型由以下。
1. Cartilage is modelled with CAX4PH (axisymmetric pore pressure elements)
2. Meniscus is also with the same elements
3.Tibial bone with CAX4 elements.

When and where the stress objective rates are used in ABAQUS software?

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the objectivity tensor in ABAQUS software. Below is my question.

X-FEM implementation in Abaqus

Dear all,

Just in case it is of interest to some of you, we provide links to three postprints related to our Abaqus implementation of the X-FEM. The latest is an "article in press" in Eng Frac Mech where we explain the essentials of the implementation and provide a link to the source code for the Abaqus computation. Note that the implementation is limited to 2D and the pre-processing code needed for element subdivision is not provided.

Abaqus, bridge-truck analysis.... help

Hi everyone!

I need advice, I have to carry out a bridge-truck interaction analysis in ABAQUS FOR CATIA. I don´t know where I can start, the thing is that now I´m going to try doing it, in a simplified model in order to don´t loose time.

Can you help me? Can you give me some advices? how to model de truck? I need more or less precission on the bridge not in the truck. I know how to modelice the bridge, the type of element, the meshing, the connectors... but what I don´t know is how to manage Explicit,

Abaqus/Explicit VUMAT tensor components ordering

Hello everyone,

I am coding a VUMAT for Abaqus/Explicit. I was wondering if the tensor components ordering was ALWAYS different from the one used in ABAQUS/Implicit, or if the special ordering was valid only for the C3D8R element.

salut, je veux des docs que m'aide à maitriser le logiciel ABAQUS, est ce vous pouver m'aider,,, merci d'avance
