Thermomechanical coupled simulation

Hi all,

 

I am trying to input a termperature field as initial conditions in
abaqus, to use the temperature distribution from a previous temperature
simulation in an mechanical simulation. But when I check the Temperature
values in the mechanical simulation i get great differences between the
nodal values (NT) and the element values (TEMP).

Does anybody know the reason of this problem?

 

Can it be related to the element typ? So the TEMP values are the avereged values from NT?

 

Kind regards!

sad news for mechanician. Departure of HD Bui, member of french academy of science

Unfortunately, HD Bui, 76, passed away yesterday evening. An elegant, dedicated, very discreet but bright mind, HD Bui made a long career at Ecole Polytechnique and EDF, making important contributions in fracture mechanics and inverse engineering.  Lately, he returned to work on his interesting contributions on the Cheops pyramid and the spiralling internal structure.

He was considered the most prominent vietnamese scientist in France, of 400 000 living there.

MSC.MARC (HYPELA2)

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Dear Marc specialist users Colleague:

I am developing an user material subroutine (HYPELA2) in Msc Marc (Marc Mentat2012.1.0, Windows platform, 64bit).
I am trying to make a write inside in Hypela2.f routine, but it doesn't work.
I have used the file number unit 6, for example,  write(6,*) ' Hello' , but
no any results in the standard output file. Otherwise, the Hypela2 works properly.
Does anyone have any suggestions how can I write out any data from Hypela2.f?
Thanks.

6 CDs in cell mechanics(mechanobiology)

There are six distinguished biophysicist in cell mechanics field (their research interests cover much broader areas) and the abbreviations of their first names are either C or D. They are Dr. David Weitz (Harvard U.), Dr. Christopher Chen (U. Penn.), Dr. Dennis Discher (U. Penn.), Dr. Denis Wirtz (JHU), Dr. Douglas Robinson (JHU), and Dr. Daniel Fletcher (U.C. Berkeley). These six scientists use both experimental and theoretical approaches to investigate the biological responses of proteins and cells to mechanical stimuli, such as forces and geometrical constraints. Their research extends from molecular scale to cellular level to tissue level.

link 8, introduced tensile curve and compression curve

Hi.

I'm working  with the element link8 (Ansys 12.1) and I have to
introduced the tensile curve and compression curve, but I don't know,
How I have to introduced its???

 

I have worked with the comands: TB: aniso, miso,..., I think the best
option is: TB, user, but How I have to introduced the values of tensile
and compression curve?, when this are different.

 File attachment is the tensile and compression curve to introduce

Thank you, Toni

I want to combine XFEM and UMAT(about concrete) in ABAQUS

DEAR everyone :

    I want to  combine XFEM and UMAT(about concrete) in ABAQUS,I have some questions about this ,concrete is a Special materials and I have the Constitutive equation about concrete ;Can I use the new constitutive equation and  simulate mixed CONCRETE cracking by XFEM(UEL_XFEM) in ABAQUS,how to combine UEL and UMAT in abaqus, thanks in advance,or you can Recommend  some relative infomation for me

Structural analysis of a bullwheel on Ansys

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hi everybody,

I have some problems with the structural analysis of an drive bullwheel on Ansys.

How can I apply the load on the bullwheel groove

Tangential (constant) and normal components

 

I was thinking to apply the normal load using a prep>loads>define_loads>apply>FUNCTIONS but I'm not good at this option. Is it necessary to define a particular coordinate system?

dynamic stiffness definition in abaqus

Free Tags: 

I am working on the vibratory simulation of engin cooling system. Now
i want to add the component of rubber isolators , the idea is to add
the spring element ,we have tested the dynamic stiffness during range
of 5-100HZ , i konw that in ANSYS we can use the matrix 27 element to define the dynamic stiffness ,but how can i set the values in abaqus or inp files.

Thanks for your helps!
