Numerical singularity in Abaqus

 

Hi All,

many a times in abaqus, we get numerical singularity warnings. which are mainly due to rigid body motion in one or more directions. This will generally happen when there is contact closing and opening phenomenon is happening.  How can we resolve these numerical singularities? Please post if you have any additional information.

 Thanks and Regards

How to simulate torsion of cylinder in ANSYS?

I want to model torsion of a homogeneous hollow cylinder in ANSYS. I changed to cylindric coordinate system also. But each time I run the program  the result is that of bending. I have attached the mac file and output file for reference. Please advise.

Virtual Heart Surgery

1. We highlight a study performed by researchers using ADINA in which they investigated a computational approach to construct patient-specific ventricle models based on in vivo cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging for surgical planning and optimization. The study was motivated by the fact that the use of such computational models can help to assess different surgical hypotheses and replace empirical and perhaps risky clinical experimentation. For more information please see

Research associate position at University of Sheffield

The successful candidate will work on the EPSRC funded research project 'Ultimate and permissible limit state behaviour of soil-filled masonry arch bridges', which is being undertaken in collaboration with the University of Salford and various industrial partners (Network Rail, ADEPT, the International Union of Railways and Balfour Beatty Rail). This is an exciting opportunity to help develop the next generation of analysis and assessment techniques for masonry arch bridges, thus helping to ensure a sustainable future for structures that continue to form a vitally important part of the rail and regional road networks of the UK and other countries.

Calling VUSDFLD before VUMAT

I am trying to call VUSDFLD subroutine before VUMAT. I need to access some variables which are not available in VUMAT. Does anyone know how I can force ABAQUS into calling VUSDFLD before VUMAT? Thanks.

code error144 and umat isotropy hardening law

hello everybody
i want to develop a constitutive law for fiber reinforced composite. so i am using umat subroutine to simulate it in abaqus.
when i begin analysis i got error code 144.
my question is: is jacobian matrix DDSDDE can be to cause for this error??

A Field Theoretic Approach to the Quasi-Continuum Method

Dear Colleagues,

I wish to bring to your attention my recent work with Mrinal Iyer on a field theoretic approach to the quasi-continuum method to appear in Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids. Below is the abstract and attached is the preprint of the article. I will very much appreciate your comments and suggestions.

ANSYS transition to Abaqus: FILL, NGEN, and EGEN

In Abaqus .inp or Abaqus/CAE, are there mesh generation commands similar to ANSYS commands FILL, NGEN, and EGEN used to geneate nodes (between keypoints) and elements ?

The mechanical performance of H-shaped NCF adhesively bonded joints

Adhesive bonding is contemplated as an alternative method to mechanical fastening for joining composite aerostructures.
Ongoing research in this area is focused on the development of new bonding techniques and joining elements. In this
article, the mechanical performance of the novel noncrimp fabric (NCF) H-shaped adhesively bonded joints subjected to
tension, shear and four-point bending loading conditions was investigated by both experimental tests and numerical

Material Testing Machines

Can anyone guide me how to get crosshead speed range equal to or greater than 1:3000 in a motorized electromechanical material testing machine? The load capacity should remain same even at lowest speed.

How to model a layer of thermo setting polymer in abaqus?

Dear all, I am modeling a 3 plies plywood using abaqus. I am facing some problem in modeling the resin layer which bond the wood veneer. Does anyone know how to model a layer of thermo setting polymer in between 2 ply of long grain direction wood veneer? Many thanks!   

animating the results

excuse me.......

can any body tell how to animate a series of results please?

thank you.

How to understand the shear modulus of polymers

Hi everybody,

I have a question about the shear modulus of polymers. As we know, the general engineering polymers (rubbers) are highly extensible and elastic. The shear modulus,G, for the polymers subjected to the small-strain conditions, can be defined by G=NkT, where N is the number of network chains, k is Boltzmann's constant and T is temperature in Kelvins.
