How to set oil properties in ABAQUS 6.9
Dear All,
I am new to ABAQUS and trying to simulate my microdamper for fundamental mode frequency. In simulation (Version 6.9), I am trying to set silicone oil properties. This microdamper has three layers viz. Aluminum, Polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) and Aluminum. I have carved microchannels in PDMS and filled silicone oil to these microchannels.
Silicone oil properties are:
Shear modulus = 1.43e9 Pa
Bulk modulus = 1.0349e9 Pa
Density = 760 Kg/m3
Fatigue Analysis on ANSYS 11.0
I am currently having difficulty modelling fatigue analysis on a wheelchair frame with hollow circular sections (pipe 16). When assigning the stress locations it says that the stress is not available for that node.
Any help would be appreciated!

ansys modelling
HEllo all,
I am trying to mesh a model in ansys which has a solid and the hollow cylinder inserted in its middle.I tried to glue this two solids but ansys doesnot support bt to add these i can do it?....i am trying to model a composite where the fibre is reinforced in the matrix.
plese help me
temperature rise in VCR & VAR
What is d significance of temperature rise in VAR & VCR, as in VCR after compression the temperature increases as a consequence of pressure rise and in VAR we heat the mixture to separate absorbent. Is it a coincidence or some logic behind it?

Were you using FEA in 1995?
All,
Anybody have approximate run times for the following linear static problems:
A) In 1995 on a reasonable workstation
20,000 degree of freedom
B) Now on modern desktop computer with quad core and plenty of RAM
20,000 degree of freedom
200,000 degree of freedom
1,000,000 degree of freedom
Any contributions/guesses/opinions welcome. The scatter will be useful.
Thanks
Lee
