ABAQUS

Hi All,

I want to model a dogbone specimen made from polycarbonate.

I model it using linear elastic plasticity coupled with ductile damage model.

For the damage, we are going to use the tabular form to described the damage evolution d with respect to equivalent plastic strain epsilon_p.

In abaqus, it is written that we need to input the d with respect of equivalent plastic displacement (u_p) instead of epsilon_p via equation u_p = epsilon_p \times L; where L is the characteristic length.

Dear all,

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to incorporate Z-mat files in ABAQUS to simulate complex constitutuve models of polymers. While I have worked with UMAT subroutines before Z-mat is something new. Can somebody explain why Z-mat is necessary and are there any differences between conventional UMAT/VUMAT and Z-mat files?

Thanks.

Do you think this is correctly modeled as fork support (picture)

minor axis bending- restrained, torsion - restrained , free to warp

I am looking to model buckling of I steel beams with restraint in abaqus. But I do not know how to make rigid connections between the steel members.

Why is the other beam( beam with fixed supports) not stressed? How do i define contact between the two beams.

Dear friends,

I am a beginner in using Abaqus. Now I am doing a project which calls for a simulation of the phase change probleme (two demensional Stephan problem).

I did a simple simulation with water, more prescisely a water slab of 10 C at the left I impose a temperature -10 C, so I got the results of the profils of temperature in every increment of time.

Hi Everyone,

I am making an 3D RVE model for fiber reinforced composite. approximately there are 62500 elements in the model and there are 200 frames in the odb files (the odb size is around 3gb). When I try to open the file, it took me a very long time (approximately one hour) just to display the model in ABAQUS viewer, and when swithcing from one frame to the next frame, it took some time around 10 mins. And it is very not conveient at all. Currently I am using NVIDIA Quadro 5000 for my graphics card.

Hi, every body,

Could anyone please help on how to deactivate the crack propagation capability?

Following section 10.7.1 in the User Guide of 6.13, the crack propagation capability can be deactivated in some step. But I tried it in a very simple example through CAE and input file, it does not work.

Particularly, the problems are

Hi all,

I'm trying to create a full-scale truss for a static loading simulation using Abaqus.
I wanted to use a Python script to do this, but I am not very experienced with this language or the Abaqus methods.

The members forming the truss are cee sections. However, at the ends of the cee sections I want to create an extruded cut

Hi everyone,

I'm a PhD student in the first year.My PhD subject is to numerically study the low cycle fatigue (LCF) using the Abaqus software.Currently, I met a error in my simulation as below:

Hi everyone,

I am a master student working on my master thesis using ABAQUS. I am modeling an experiment, but the problem is that my results from ABAQUS do not agree with the experimental results. Can you help me to check if I have done any mistakes?

We are doing simulations of simple bilayer composites which undergo extensive buckling and post-buckling instabilities. The simulation is being done with ABAQUS explicit to capture the highly non-linear geometries. Everything works very well, however to compare with our analytical theory we need the Green strain at each element. ABAQUS for solid elements gives only the NE or LE which is projected onto the global coordinate system.

anyone please help to provide repeated load of 100kN for 5000 repeatitions. each time the load remains there for .3second. time gap between two load application is 1 second.
