Abaqus problem

Submitted by nidz on

Hi,

I am using a bridge model with Tet element as mesh in the structure. I have given many static loads in deck surface . After submitting 'Job' gets stresses of different element label of the deck as report. I want to now calculate the volume of single element (tet element) so that I become successful in calculting the damaged volume due to the load. Is there any option to get the volume of the meshed elements.

Thanks in anticipation.

Saint-Venant's Principe of the " Cavity in Cylinder " Problem

Submitted by Jian-zhong Zhao on

The problem of a cylinder with a small spherical cavity loaded by an

equilibrium system of forces is suggested and discussed and its formulation of Saint-Venant's Principle is established. It is evident that finding

solutions of boundary-value problems is a precise and pertinent approach

to establish Saint-Venant type decay of elastic problems.

Recommend me some UMAT references for cardiac mechanical modelling

Submitted by Jason Liu on

Hi, everyone!

Now I am starting the research on cardiac mechanical modelling. The user defined function "UMAT" was used to implement  the anisotropic hyperelastic Fung-type model . Now I come across some difficulties to write UMAT subroutine. Can someone recommend me some useful codes that can let me know how to write it.

Post-doctoral Research Position at MIT: Development of Finite Element Methods for Nano-scale Structures

Submitted by Bathe on

A post-doctoral research position is available in my MIT research group for the Development of Finite Element Methods for

Nano-scale Structures. Experience in nonlinear finite element analysis and, ideally also, the analysis of multiphysics problems

is needed. Please contact me if you are interested,  Prof. KJ Bathe, kjb [at] mit.edu.

Truncation of Displacement boundary conditions in Abaqus

Submitted by lorenzoguiducci on

 

 

Hi everyone,

 

I've wrote a script in python to create a model in Abaqus, run the simulations and retrieve the results I need.

I use the Abaqus python build (on PDE).

 

I experience a strange problem with the following command:

 

myModel.DisplacementBC(... ..., u1=0.123456789, u2=SET; ur3=...)

 

which gets translated in the input file like this:

 

*Boundary

myNodeset, 1, 1, 0.1234

myNodeset, 2, 2

 

Cylinder inflation using Abaqus

Submitted by manz_0 on

Hi All,

 I am trying to model the inflation of an enclosed elastic cylinder. The only example I have came close to in the Abaqus support documentation is the air bag inflation test. However, even reading the documentation, I am still unsure on how to model the airbag before an inflation force is applied. Can someone help me with this? You can also e-mail directly: manpreet.puri [at] strath.ac.uk.

link abaqus 6.10 and intel fortran 11 to use subroutines

Submitted by eddie on

Hi everyone

 I did so much efforts but  I could not reach a successful link

between abaqus 6.10 and Intel fortran 11 and in abaqus verification it didn't

pass.  Is there any obvious way to solve this problem? I have not find any

suitable solution in the internet :(

 

Regards,

Eddie
