Calling VGETVRM

Submitted by sujan on

Hi!

Can please help me regarding usage of VGETVRM? I am trying to get material point data of EVF in an eulerian analysis using VUSDFLD but failed. Details is below:

parameter( nrData=6 )

character*3 cData(maxblk*nrData)

dimension rData(maxblk*nrData), jData(maxblk*nrData)

do k = 1, nblock

c jStatus = 1

call vgetvrm('EVF',rdata,jData,cData,jStatus)

EVF=rdata(1)

FIELD(k,1)=EVF

stateNew(k,1)=FIELD(k,1)

How to do a fatigue life prediction of a welded joint using ANSYS?

Submitted by khubaib1987 on

i got three questions here.

1) If im using ANSYS, how am i gonna do a fatigue life prediction of a welded joint? The speciment is butt joint. I need to know the procedure.

2) If im using ANSYS nCode DesignLife, how am i gonna obtain the SN curve if im using FE Model or Multi-column?

3) If Im using ANSYS nCode DesignLife, what should i pick for the geometry if im doing on CTOD method of a butt joint welded speciment?

Thanks for the help. :)

How to use cohesive zone modeling (CZM) approach in ANSYS?

Submitted by riyadmohammad on

Dear All,

Greetings to you. I am M. Faisal Riyad from Bangladesh. I am going to assist one of my professor in his research. The research will about crack propagation analysis. He asked me to learn about the cohesive zone modelling approach in ANSYS. I am searching for some good articles to learn from the beginning. I would be very grateful to you if anyone help me to find the articles or any other way to learn about cohesize zone approach in ANSYS.

 

Thanks,

Pressure increase for a thin walled vessel on Abaqus

Submitted by Ibrahim Emad El-din on

I'm using Abaqus to model a Thin walled pressure vessel till Von Mises Stress (Svm) reaches the Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS). Is there an easiers method to run the program in a way the pressure increases itself till Svm reaches to the UTS instead of running the program several times for differet pressures.

GENERATING MIST FROM STILL WATER

Submitted by pipeyoga_011 on
Dear friends,
I have a question as below ;
Generating MIST
from still water




How much velocity / acceleration (linear) is needed
to be imparted to water lying at rest (at atmospheric pressure) to convert it
into MIST ?



I know that Water is not
converted to mist by velocity or acceleration. It's
converted to mist by turbulent air flow on its
surface.

Re-phrasing a bit as ;

" I put water in open conduit (half pipe

Looking for a Great Solid Mechanics Book w/Solutions

Submitted by zaphead on

Dear all, I am an ME PhD graduate looking for a great classical solid mechanics text (preferably something that includes a thorough treatment of classical methods as well as finite deformation and an intro into computational methods). Here's the catch:

It's got to have good homework problems at the end of each chapter, AND a solution manual to those problems.  I really like the texts by Fung and Goldstein, however I can't find solution manuals to the homework problems.

 Can anyone suggest a book and its accompanying solution manual?

Crack Modelling in ABAQUS and ELEMENT DELETION in Explicit Analysis

Submitted by hossein_ataei on
Hello ABAQUS Experts,

I had a quick question for which I needed your experience and advise please:



I need to know "How we do Element Deletion / Remeshing for the Explicit
Loading?" I mean how I can remove elements in each time-step to model my
progressive failure and at the same time maintain the continuity of my
explicit dynamic analysis.



I am applying extreme shock loading (Explicit Analysis) on a glass plate
and I am about to remove the elements that reach their max stress, then
