Using Substructure for contact modelling in Abaqus

I have a
problem to use substructure for contact anaylsis of two gears. I have
already read the example in abaqus Example problem manual for help.
Well, to explain my problem in detail, I have two nastron files of two
gears and later using FORTRAN I am able to write the programm to
generate the *.inp files. What I tried to do is

1. Substrcture generation of two gears in seperate files. Now I have two
sets of substructures available for individual gears. While generating
the substruture, I have retained the DOF for the nodes which are on the

Mechanics of Photonic Devices

Hallo,

does anyone know, if it is possible to transfer a FE-Model from Abaqus to LsDyna? I build up the model with Abaqus Cae, so I can take either the *.cae or the *.inp file.

Thanks for your answers, Lena

What is prony series about ?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 02/02/2014 - 23:35

Hi everyone,

I cannot get the actual significance regarding the usage of Prony series and Shift factors in the material modelling of the viscoelastic material.

Please can anyone post some insights into this. Would be helpful.

Dear All

please find a link to a story describing the results of a final project that I assigned for my graduate "Experimental Structural Dynamics" class. This is timely, on this Superbowl Sunday and the broad coverage of safety issues related to Football and head injuries.
