Stent/Artery contact Abaqus Explicit

Submitted by Slimjimmy on

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

tsai wu failure criteria in ANSYS

Submitted by yashidanadir on

dear friends, i want to know how to get the tsai -wu failure criteria for orthotropic material in ANSYS.after modelling and giving the material properties ,should i give anything special to activate this option ,or will i get automatically this  criteria for all the elements from the output file itself.

please help me as my research work couldnt able to proceed.
