Element Non-Deletion in Abaqus Standard?

Submitted by Laura von Deak on
Free Tags

   I am part of a group that is attempting to model the energy dissipation from a crack.  In order to do that, we need to track the energy throughout failure.  It is our understanding that the way to do this is to model the failure without element deletion, but we having little experience with ABAQUS, we cannot figure out how to turn element deletion off.  Help?

Modeling a soil in abaqus (plane stress and plane strain)

Submitted by belhajj on

hello, I am new to abaqus.

I am modeling a soil under seismic exitation with abaqus. the soil is a 2D rectangular elastic model.

As i was creating the mesh, i didnt pay attention and abaqus by deffault took plane stress. Is it a big problem that i work with plane stress or i should restart the calculation with plane strain ?

Thanks,

belhajj.

Dear everybody

I am beginner in Meshfree method. I have some questions
in numerical integration in the weak form formulation. I would appreciate if
you help me.

In "meshless
methods in solid mechanics" written by chen et al, numerical
integration was summarized as: Nodal Integration, Background Mesh
and Wigner–Seitz Cell.
