0 Thickness Cohesive Zone Modeling

Submitted by henryjamesusa on

Hi friends:

This is Henry, a graduate student in USA.

I am recently trying to model a 0 thickness cohesive zone with curvature and I realize that by using mesh edit.

When I made it and submit the job, the ABAQUS always told me the node numbering has a problem and thus abort the job.

Does anyone who has experience with that?

Thanks.

Henry.

organized by Prof. Ellen Kuhl, Prof. Andreas Menzel and myself in the

WCCM IX. The abstract outlining the objectives of this integrative

mini-symposium is enclosed to this post as plain text and also as a

pdf-attachment.

Force Matrix for Transient Thermal Analysis

Hi,



I have developed a 2D transient thermal analysis FE code which doesn't
seem to be correct. I am sure there is a conceptual problem in the
formulation itself which I have not been able to understand and could
not find concrete information in books.



I am putting up the question in a very simplified form so as to address the correctness of the formulation.



Let's say we have a square of unit length with 4 nodes at each corner
(Q4 element). Initial temperatures are specified as 100 for all nodes
