Hi all,

I am trying to model a solder joint in double lap shear. I am using the Modified Anand's Model. But for some reasons the analysis is not completing and does not gives any errors as well. Since I am new to abaqus, I am not able to solve this. Here is my input file:

From venation of leaves to the blood and lymph vessels and tracheae of insects, 3D filamentous branching networks are a common pattern in all higher organisms.  These busy “highways” supply the tissue with nutrition and oxygen, expel waste and heat, as well as conduct immune reactions and other signal pathways. These microvascular networks are also essential for effective response of external stimuli in some sensitive plants, such as Venus flytrap and Mimosa pudica.

Hi,



I am attempting to couple a moving multi-body load to a surface using ABAQUS/explicit, i.e. the loading varies depending on the surface displacement at the previous time step.



I realise that VDLOAD cannot access values such as element displacement directly but can access variables using tools such as utility subroutines e.g. UEXTERNALDB.  The only problem is that such utility routines only seem to work for ABAQUS implicit.



Similarly vgetvrm can be used to output stress values but not displacement.

Hi all,

Is it possible to model stress-strain hysteresis loops (with isotropic or/and kinematic hardening) without using rate quations? For the case of monotonic loading, bilinear or trilinear  hardening models can be easily written. But in the case of cyclic loading can the Bauschinger effect be incorporated in a simply manner?

Hey,

I am trying to do simulation of one eighth of the unit cell with single void at the center in ABAQUS. I have problem with boundary conditions. I am using *Equation constraint in ABAQUS. But it is not working properly. I can not figure it out which one or two should be my control points or master nodes and what DOF should be used. Can anyone give me suggesations regarding this problem. Thanks in advance.
