ABAQUS CRACK PROPAGATION
how to do a crack propagation analysis?
can abaqus be used for doing crack propagation analysis for plates with multiple cracks?

ABAQUS mass properties of a composite layup
Forums
Hi,
modeling a wind turbine blade (using shell elements) in ABAQUS/CAE 6.11-1, i encountered the following problem:
In order to match the structure of a real turbine blade, i created a composite layup consisting of several plies, whose thicknesses are not defined by a constant value but by discrete field distributions (Location: Elements, Type: Scalar). The discrete fields assign a thickness value to each Element ID.

Fundamental FE Question
Hi,
This is a very fundamental question
I have a mesh of 2D elements
Now, I have been given a point and know its global coordinates.
I want to find out which element in my mesh includes that point.
Is there an easier way of doing it than looping through each element in my mesh?
Please help
Stent/Artery contact Abaqus Explicit
Forums
Hi Everybody.
I'm modelling Nitinol stent crimp and expansion
into an idealised artery in Abaqus/Explicit. I am having numerous
problems with the ratio of kinetic energy to internal energy with the
analysis. I was hoping somebody may provide me with some insight on
this.
I am modelling the crimp stage using a C3D8 elements for
the stent and have defined a surface section for the crimper surface. I
am using kinetic contact and surface to node contact (surface to surface
