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. 

hi

      A composite 3D plate is subjected to tensile load and whilethe otherend is fully comnstrained. how to findstress along the thickness for theoritically

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.

hi

i need ansys models for reinforced concrete beam , even txt files will be great.... cause i am trying to learn it

thanks

I NEED ANY HELP TO ALLOW ME TO COMPUTE IMPACT FPRCE IN ABAQUS

I TRY TO SIMULATE AND ALL OF RESULTS I CAN GET IT BUT IMPACT FORC I CANT 

IN MY MODEL RIGID BODY IMAPACT COLUMN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE :

PLEASE HELP ME TO COMPLETE MY SEARCH

Dear Colleagues,

Dear all,

Can anyone suggest a good study material (lecture notes/videos/books)
about  wave prpagation analysis in Ansys or Abaqus?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Dear all,

Can anyone suggest a good study material (lecture notes/videos/books) about the fundamentals of fracture mechanics (specially cohesive law for orthotropic materials)?

I checked few books, but they are not very clear. So, I want to go for something that is already tested.

Thanks in advance for the help.
