how we get the moment diagram from the stress if the ABAQUS is available for shell element

Dear all,



Pls be informed that I am using abaqus explicit to model my
pipeline that

embedded in soil. In standard, Coord 1 means x co-ordinate,
coord 2 means Y

co-ordinnate and coord 3 means Z -co-ordinate. But I can not
undestand the

meaning of CoordMP(nblock,j) in explicit. I want vertical
co-ordinates of some

elements of my model but if I put CoordMP(k,2) it shows
always a constant value

for all elements which make no sense.



Can you

Hi 

    I want to print complete assembeled mass, stiffness matrices  in ABAQUS. I was trying for this. I got some clue for this as follows:

*STEP
etc
etc.
*ELEMENT MATRIX OUTPUT, OUTPUT FILE=FILENAME.EXT, MASS=YES, STIFFNESS=YES, ELSET=ELSET_NAME

*END STEP

Hi everyone,

      I just constructed a VUMAT which including 3 state dependent variables ( nstatev =3 ), let say these three state dependent variables each have a initial value of 10, 20 and 30, may I know how to assign these initial values into the simulation or VUMAT?

      So far I follow the manual to assign the initial value via input file with material properties command as below (the line started with "*Initial Conditions" is line 361):

Hi,

I am searching on multiscale simulation of polymer/metal ( mechanical propertices).

Cohesive zone model is used for this porpose.

Is there another models that can use for this issue and using MD data as input?

Best regards,

Hi, everyone:

A rectangular plate, simply supported at four edges, subjected to a partial load- a uniformly distributed pressure over a round area at the plate center. What is the analytical solution for the plate deflection?

Hi readers, 

 This is MATLAB code that was written by myself and collaborators that we've sought to make available to the wider research community. The program is intended to track the displacements of micropatterned dots on a substrate in a similar manner to that performed by  Maloney et al. in "Influence of Finite Thickness on cellular adhesion-induced deformation of an compliant substrata". Physical Review E. 2008.

Creep can be characterized as the result of a solid material that is slowly and permanently deformed under the influence of stress. Deformation results from the consistent stress below the yield strength of the material. The amount of applied stress and its duration can eventually lead to the failure of the given material. Ultimately, it is for this reason that Nanoindentation creep measurement provides crucial information to study material behavior.
