Modelling Iron powder compaction using ABAQUS

Submitted by yap zheng dao on

Dear users,

 I am currently undergoing a research on simulating iron powder compaction using ABAQUS. As i am new to this software, i need some guide on it. I had read through the manual but it doesnt help much. Below are my few enquiries:

1) The density required in material parameter is the initial density or the bulk density of the iron powder? If i use relative density, can i input in ABAQUS? 

vibration test fixture design

Submitted by sani.misra on

Hello all,

 

I am a fresher; I just started working for a company leading in passenger cars.

I have been given a project in which I have to design a vibration test fixture for passenger car bumper.

Currently, we manufacture fixture in-house. And for every bumper, separate fixture is made.My task is to design a test fixture (for testing frequency range of 0- 70 Hz) which will be modular.

Area mesh in ansys 12

Submitted by kirthanlj on

Hello to all,

I have a problem in meshing area in ansys. I have craeted two areas perpendicular to each other in global xyz cartesian system. I can easily mesh the area in xy plane but if i try to mesh the area in yz plane it gives error message that the area is not parallel to global xy plane. I tried going for local coordinate system, but it is also not working. Can anybody guide me regarding this.

 

Thank you

I have tried but I have not found myself in the right way.
