Modified Cam Clay in ABAQUS
Hi All,
I am a new user in ABAQUS. I am interested to model soft soil of embankment using Modified Cam Clay model. I have modeled the similar problem in AFENA but in 2D. I am interested for 3D case. Can anyone extend co-operation, how to model soft soil in ABAQUS using Modified Cam Clay?

Thanks in advance.

Question about postprocessing in ABAQUS
Hello,
I am using Abaqus for a structural analysis problem. In the results I have stress distribution over the structure. I can use odb file to see the distribution of stresses as a function of space and time.
I want to plot stress at a particular node as a function of time (and may be also stress distibution w.r.t. space coordinates at some instant of time). I have some general idea about the result file that can be generated from Abaqus and can be accessed. I am reading more about it but I am not sure if this is the right way.
Important News: ICEFA V changes venue from Rotterdam to The Hague

REFERENCE POINT of analytical rigid surface, specialist in ABAQUS CAE Explicit contact, please help
Hello everybody,
I simulate the indentation test with ABAQUS CAE, the indenter is simulated as rigid body analytical surface. I also created reference point, but when i submit the job, there is a mistake:
The rigid part instance Part-2-1 is missing a reference point. Either assign a reference point to the corresponding part or include the entire part in a rigid body constraint.
I think i have done everything properly but it doesn't work. if you need i can send you my code.
I am looking forward to your answer.
Comments on Cauchy's stress theorem
I have been bugged by this question ever since I studied cauchy's stress theory 10 years ago.
In cauchy's analysis of solids, there two popular geometries.
First one is a unit cube used for deriving equations of equilibrium.
And the second one is a tetraheadon used for deriving Cauchy's stress theorem.
In both the cases limit of force equilibrium as solid geometry shrinks to a point is derived.
My question has been, how come limit of force equilibrium at a point inside a solid depenent on the path taken by limiting process.

SYSTEM GOT SHUTDOWN WHILE RUNNING ABAQUS
Hi all,
My system got shutdown while running a job in Abaqus.15 Gb odb file was generated and now I am not able to open the odb file.It is saying some error about the format.Have anyone came across such a problem.
Pls help me
