Want guidance/help for Shell Modelling

Submitted by amitshah3333 on
Hi,

I am trying to do SHELL modeling of a problem to get Bending moment, Shear force, Axial Force etc.

Problem can be simply explained as below:

Model is just a like a room (block) with 4 surrounding wall, a roof and ground (Base).

Height (H) of (any) pair of opposite walls  are not same, i.e say H front = 5m and H rear = 3m.

(Base)  ground is straight whereas roof is inclined from front wall towards rear wall.

Radiation in 1D beam finite elements

Submitted by Rani on

Hi everyone,

 

Has anyone ever come across the treatment of radiation heat transfer in one-dimensional beams using FEM ? Convection and conduction are well established, but I was wondering whether radiation is still an open area of research?

 Any links to publications would be very much appreciated, Thank you

SIF Accuracy - Abaqus XFEM

Submitted by mcgrete on

Hello,

 I understand from word of mouth, as well as an extensive study/Master'sThesis (http://publications.lib.chalmers.se/records/fulltext/164269.pdf), that Abaqus XFEM formulation works, but that processing of results to obtain reported SIF (KI, KII, KIII, not sure about J, others) are in error due to apparent bugs in Abaqus's algorithm to calculate the SIFs.
