Dear all, these days I use combin14 to simulate the boundary conditions. I use two types of springs to simulate support. One is linear displacement spring, the other one is rotational spring. When the spring is on the radial edges, the rotation is about radius direction. When the spring is on the circumferential direction, the rotation is about circumferential direction. So i translate all the nodes to local cylndrial coordinate system. When the spring constants are large enough, the simulation results do not meet well with the clamped boundary conditions.

Hello,

Please explain how to conclude a material failure in CAE. The von mises stress what i am getting is is 0.8GPA 

New experiments on cracking and corrosion of steel in concrete performed by the M3C4 team. More details at http://microlab-m3c4.blogspot.nl/

Cheers!

I am new in this forum.I am trying to model Fibre reinfored Polymer

fracture in ABAQUS . But, In website I could not find any example for

that.I have done fracture model for isotropic material such as

Alluminium using Contour Integral.But, for this FRP I am being unable to

model   it.What should be my consideration (different from isotropic)

using this contour integral.I want a tensile matrix cracking or

matrix-fibre interface cracking or fibre cracking. Please help me in

this regard.

Hi, 

I'm trying to do simulation of a standard shear test of a composite specimen. Hence I'm using the composite layup  to create the section of my specimen. But I'm getting the following error no matter what i do. I have even tried the following tutorial but still I'm getting the same error. The link to the tutorial - https://sites.google.com/site/abaqus2010/tutorial_1/tutorial_1-3c.  

I'm stuck here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

question:

if we have dead load and live load in our modellinng and use riks step and we enter the dead load just through the densite....after the analysis ,which load must be multiply to LPF ?

Hey there, I am the newbie in Ansys Modelling, and right now I have to model of 3D RC beam reinforcing by GFRP bars.

Anyone here that can give advice or placing any beneficial link to me to refer.



Thank you so much guys.
