Ductile Fracture Simulation

Submitted by PKS on

 

Hi,

 I am simulating ductile fracture through uniaxial tensile test. The material is Aluminum Alloy. Dogbone specimen is simulated to get Equivalent Strain Vs Stress Triaxiality & Equivalent Strain Vs Lode Angle plots. The evolution of Stress Triaxiality & Lode Angle must be 1/3 & 1 respectively over time or with Equivalent Strain. I have marked few time history solid elements in the rupture zone of model. The problem is, Triaxiality and Lode Angle is different for different time history elements.

Abaqus Script Manual/Tutorial

Submitted by Johannes T.B. … on

I have written a introduction manual/tutorial on Abaqus Scripting. I got some good feedback from my colleagues. Therefore, I would like to share the manual.The manual should give a short introduction (it will not take more than one hour) to Abaqus script in Python.

You can find the manual here:

Abaqus Script Manual

Via the same link you can also find more information on the connection between Matlab and Abaqus

Good luck!

LS DYNA BIRD STRIKE SIMULATION

Submitted by Riccardo Sgobbo on

Hello everyone!

I'm a Mechanical Engineer performing a Bird Strike simulation on a Radome using ANSYS LS DYNA.

I'm using ALE Formulation to simulate this but after some minutes of processing, the program says :

- impossible find file batch ansyslsdynaz.bat

- Error for invalid volume on "n" redo cycle

 And some nodes have x, y and z velocity as NaN.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks
