Submitted by wande on

DEAR everyone :

    I want to  combine XFEM and UMAT(about concrete) in ABAQUS,I have some questions about this ,concrete is a Special materials and I have the Constitutive equation about concrete ;Can I use the new constitutive equation and  simulate mixed CONCRETE cracking by XFEM(UEL_XFEM) in ABAQUS,how to combine UEL and UMAT in abaqus, thanks in advance,or you can Recommend  some relative infomation for me

How to see elements or areas inside 3D-FE-model (Abaqus/CAE)

Submitted by Sutham_eng on

Dear everyone,

I created 3D-FE- model in Abaqus, but I don’t know how to see the element inside 3D model.

I want to check if I mesh the model properly after meshing the model.

Could anyone please suggest me how I can solve this problem?

All I know is that we can see the results in each element inside the model by using view cut in Visualization-module, but I don’t know how to make Abaqus show the element or areas inside the 3D model in Mesh-module (or Part-module).

Thank you very much indeed,

Sutham A.

Key Qualifications

Is it possible to define a dimensionless number being capable of characterizing the two effects with totally opposite direction?

Submitted by Guanchu Cheng on

1. assuming to exist a PDE describing an equilibrium along one direction (e.g., postive direction along X coordinate), A+B=0;

2. after normalization process to the above PDE, we got, A*+(C)B*=0;

3. (C)=B/A, is the dimensionless number, and obviously, (C) implicits that both two effects arising from A and B are the same in the direction, i.e., along the X positive coordanate;
