Dear colleagues,

I have a question regarding the postprocessing program felbow.f written in Fortran and provided in the Abaqus manual: http://abaqus.ethz.ch:2080/v6.11/books/exa/default.htm?startat=ch14s01a…;

I've performed a fatigue experiment on aluminium.I want to observe the microstructure and make a qualitative/ quantitative analysis of strains based on observation the grains.Is there any technique that would help me achieve the objective?Could someone help me on this?

Hello,

 I am trying to input random strength (following weibull distribution) at each integration point. I want to use either USDFLD (preferably) or UMAT subroutines in Abaqus. Please help me in this regards. Any references/suggestions will be great.

Hi everybody, First of all I would like to introduce myself, as a new user here. My name is Aleksander Marek and I'm student (3rd year of 1st degree) at Poznan University of Technology in Poland. I'm working on UMAT that accounts for Hoffman Plasticity and all of its simpler forms (Hill,

Is
there any one here who could help me through the step-by-step creating and analyzing
a 3D simulation of ballistic, full penetration impact of a steel, rigid
projectile into the 3D composite plate?



note1: as i know,
available HASHIN damage model in ABAQUS isn't an appropriate tool to do
that. because it has an important restriction that confined you in the
"2D" damage analysis of composites and using 2D planar elements only.



note2: so, my preferred software is LS-DYNA or ANSYS-APDL now.

Dear Mechanician

please find enclosed the announcement of the Workshop in Sandanski.

Dear all,

Where can we find the datum of plastc and damage evolution in uniaxial case for concrete of some specfic strength? It seems that datum associated with plasticity or damage can not be found in concrete code. But when you use the damaged plasticity model integrated in ABAQUS, these datum are indispensible.

I know this  question is a not new one and it has been posted before. But these posts seems not completely answer this question. I tested  for77 and for90 codes for isotropic elasticity respectively. The analysis based on for77 codes runs successfully and the for90 codes can be compiled successfully.  However, the analysis based on for90 codes shows the following warning:
