Using OpenSees!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Dear all,

 

I am considering using OpenSees software in plane strain SSI analysis
under cyclic loading. I have understood, roughly, how the structure of
the input file and the Tcl scripting language work. Nevertheless, I
would like to know; I understand that to model a rigid body, in
OpenSees, you can tie the horizontal and vertical displacements of the
nodes of the rigid entity. Is there any other way? Or did I
misunderstood?

Hi Every body,

I know that the crack propagation energy release rate G is by defination the release of elastic energy and potential energy of loads per unit area of crack extension and for a linear body loaded by a single load P is given by :

G=P^2/(2b)*dc/da

Any body know if instead of load P, moment M is being used what would be formulation?

I really need this one

Thank you,

Parisa

Run Multiple jobs at once in abaqus

Submitted by daniel1tenorio on

Hi all,




I would like to know whether there's any method to submit a
number of Abaqus implicit jobs at once (like letting it to run whole
night without any attention)? Also is there any way to run those jobs
without opening Abaqus CAE (like in the command prompt) in a computer
with Windows vista? I have modeled everything in CAE.




Thank you!




Daniel
