Abaqus Pile-Soil interaction

Submitted by peshawa12 on

Hello all,

I am really thankful for any help . I am in a very bad situation with my research project because of Abaqus, so please if you know what is wrong with my model please help me please.

I have a pile 200mm long..diameter = 50 mm.. the pile embedded in sand... the depth of sand layer =450mm.. other dimensions are L= 960mm,, W= 480mm.

the pile fully embedded in the soil.. on the top it is connected to a pulling arm , the length of the pulling arm =330 mm , the diameter = 25mm..

the pile is laterally loaded so it is a 3D problem

Abaqus contact problem

Submitted by ravi_gutti on

Hello all...,

                 I want to know the method of getting convergence when a Soft body and a Stiff body is in contact and a large force is acting normal to the contact interface. I am actually facing this problem often.

Anybody pls help...

ansys mechanical apdl on non linear material model

Submitted by preet on

hi....i m working on ansys(mehanical apdl).....here i m doing non linear material model analysis of a two panel slab....i have chosen material model 1 as multilinear elastic and entered the graph in that and took material no.2 for steel with EX=2E8,PR=.33....units are in SI.....NOW I m getting the warning as"For material 1 at temperature 0 has a tangent slope of its stress strain curve <75000> greater than EX <6.0134717-154>..............can anyone suggest some solution for this....
