Open Source Software Repositories

I will be setting up an open source project for parallel finite element analysis in the next month or two. I am just wondering what the community's opinion is regarding the best repository to use.

SourceForge? Google Software? Others?

Your opinions are welcome.

how to model composite laminates in ANSYS v11

hello everybody;

i'm doing finite element modal analysis of composite structure using ANSYS v11. however i got problem with modeling  composite laminates. i hope someone can show an example on how to model the composite laminates. i had looking for the related tutorial but couldn't found one.

Dear Colleagues.

Let us introduce you some new application examples of IOSO optimization technology employment in turbomachinery.

 

 

First example is the application of IOSO software connected with Concepts NREC software aimed at improving efficiency of 10-stages compressor, you can download it from here

nonuniform surface traction in abaqus .

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hello everyone:

 recently i encountered a problem when using abaqus .i wanna define shear distributed load along a surface,

the magnitude of a single point is related with  its velocity.but it looks that abaqus does not support this kind

of load even in VDOLAD .how can i do to realize it?

thks a lot .

Iterations in VUMAT

Dear all,

I' m trying to make a model in VUMAT for shape memory alloy based on Lagoudas 's thermomechanical constitutive model. It seems that It's necessary an iteration to evaluate the thermoelastic prediction.

My questions are : is it possible to use an iterative loop in the VUMAT or it's better to avoid it??Could someone suggest me a different way so that I can avoid the iterative loop?

Many thanks,

Cece

Hi, everyone:

I am trying to use CFD to simulate a lifted free jet with/without combustion to air atmosphere.I am using Fluent6.3 to find its velocity,pressure and temperature distribution in the air.

My settings of model are:

1.Time : Steady      2.Viscous:Realizable k-epsilon turbulence model      3. Combustion: non-premixed model     4. gravity is included                                    5. material: methane  6. density: ideal gas 


The settings of boundary condition are:

1.inlet: mass flow inlet      2. outlet:pressure-outlet

how to define the STEPs for earthquake analysis at ABAQUS software

Dear all

I want to know how to define step module for the earthquake analysis specially adjusting a parameter for Dynamic Explicit…like  “TIME PERIOD” and the other parameter.

By the way at dynamic explicit analysis when I insert the duration of the earthquake as a time period(for example 30sec) I get a better result than 0.5 or 0.1…

Am I right?

and Would I want you to send me an earthquake input file…

Design software

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

In the figure I showed a mechanism, I want to make an analysis for that. consider the circles in the figure as cylenders which can be seen in the top view. these circles are regular cylenderical parts. I made the fig in paint thats why circle don't seem to be regular. I want to analyze the angle that at given angle, whether the rolling flow of these cylenders will be blocked or not. Please tell me some software to analyze in 2d Prefferably or 3d. Please help me. I'm in intense need.

Fatigue analysis in ANSYS claasic environment !!

Hello ANSYS  users,

 

I am having hard time ANSYS's documentation for fatigue analysis in claasic environment. Tutorials available on internet talk bat ansys workbench only. Has anyone done fatigue analysis in ANSYS claasic? If yes, is there any source for tutorials ?

 

Thanks,

How to represent a "bird" in ABAQUS

Dear all,

   I will model a bird to impact a shell at high velocity by ABAQUS.  I decide to model the "bird" by ALE mesh and referred by EOS equation.

   However, most simulation works are done by LS-Dyna. Do anyone know how to determine the parameters in ABAQUS for the "bird" in EOS equation?

   All suggestions are welcome.

   Thanks.

 

Jason,

Best regards

Remeshing in Abaqus/ Explicit

Hi Dear IMechanica User

I have faced up a problem during micro-scale cutting using abrasives. I am trying to model this process using Abaqus/explicit and with remeshing module. but currently there doesnt exist any remeshing technique in abaqus/explicit. Could you please suggest the way for doing this simulation by using remeshing technique in Abaqus/explicit. Abaqus/standard is not helpfull to model cutting simulation. this is because i am using Abaqus/explicit by the way.

 

I am awaiting your valuable suggestions and helpfull informations.

Tsai-Wu Fc with Ansys

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 
Free Tags: 

Good evening,

in the order to perfom a calculation of Tsai-Wu Fc in Ansys there are two fundamentally different methods:
1. with the help of nodal stresses.
2. or with the stresses from the element table.

I want to know what is the difference, and which method, according to your experience is the best.

Thank you very much!
