damage evolution

Submitted by hale on

Hi, everybody,

I am new in modeling of damage initiation and evolution. my job is modeling damage evolution during castingrion deformation which includes two phases: matrix and graphite. Now I developed a 2D plane strain model and trie to model damage evolution. however, when I defined the damage criterion in material propertis under ABAQUS 6.10 and submitted job, the following error occurs:   

How to apply a pressure and a traction to a integration point by using VDLOAD

Submitted by hale on

 My aim is to apply a prescribed pressure and traction to a surface.But in the VDLOAD only the array Value(*) can be written, besides the value is one dimension array.

 

Then my questions are that how to apply a prescribed pressure to a integration point in the direction which is normal to the  surface and how to apply a prescribed traction to a integration point in the dierection which is tangential to the surface.

 

Thank you very very much!
