I found a great tutorial for abaqus/cae at https://abaqus-docs.mit.edu/2017/English/SIMACAEGSARefMap/simagsa-m-Caeb... but I cannot find the main page, which I need to navigate it; I am forced to Google for individual sections guessing at what the section titles migh be; I need a URL to the root page so I can navigate the tutorial like an ebook. 

 

Abaqus startup start-up initialization file Python script

I  need to find a startup file that Abaqus/CAE reads on startup to add a line of Python to modify the behavior the way I like it. I find myself adding this line manually every time I start Abaqus/CAE and I am tired of it. Like the .gpr file but .grp is a binary file--I cannot add things to it with a text editor. It has to be an initialization file, right? Or may be some other way to do it. Thanks in advance.

Viscoelastic material modeling

Submitted by lefteris tsivolas on

Hello,

I have a question regarding viscoelastic materials and property definitions through prony series.

If i am not wrong ,the values wi and τi of the series can be expressed either in terms of time domain or frequency domain.

Having the prony series expressed at time domain, how can the relaxation tensor be expressed? Do i still need to perform

Laplace-Carson transformation, of the time dependent relaxation and creep functions or their prony series expression is enough,

so i can get the full relaxation tensor (isotropic case) as:

 

Why a 2D and 3D model using a coupled thermal displacement element in ABAQUS give different results? Can any one help me?

Submitted by vivekiitm8 on

I am modeling a rectangular plate placed on a hot plate using a coupled temperature displacement type of analysis in abaqus. I have modeled it in 2D as well as 3D. I have defined a contact between hot plate and rectangular specimen. But my 2D and 3D results are different. Can any one help me in clearing my doubt. Thanks in advance.
