Merging/Boolen operation in ABAQUS Cae to produce inclusion/matrix Unit cell

Submitted by Leon Mishnaevsky on Wed, 03/23/2011 - 09:04

Hi,

I am trying to do with ABAQUS Cae now what I usually and successfully did with MSC Patran - produce a unit cell for particle reinforced composite. In other words, I need to generate a "ball in a box" model.

So, I produce a part Cube and a part Ball. After that I create Sections and Instances (what seems to be unnecessary if comparing with Patran, but apparently needed to link CAE with CADs), and assign Materias (lets say, Glass to Ball, and Polymer to Cube).

How can I model the progressive damage of composite materials

Submitted by Jameswei on Wed, 03/23/2011 - 00:45

Recently, I indulged myself into the progressive damage simulation of composite materials. I firstly used the USDFLS to create several fields to define certain kinds of damage, such as fiber crack, matrix crack, shear damage and delamination. One curious thing that I experienced into this is that ABAQUS/Standard informed me that "Stiffness defined by engineering constants is not physically reasonable. Check choice of poisson's ratios". I checked the data and changed some to comply with the rules of the transversely isotropic materials and the program proceeded.

Modelling Iron powder compaction using ABAQUS

Submitted by yap zheng dao on Sun, 03/20/2011 - 04:30

research

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

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.
