Does anyone who has previously worked on MSC Marc worked with the concept of element activation and deactivation...?

I need to do a simulation wherein a hole is required to be punched in an alloy steel bar.

The issue is that I am not sure as to how to go about this.

If there is anyone who can guide me through this ..I would appreciate it..!!

Hi Expert,

 I'm a newer of Abaqus. I was trying to compute a simple compression problem using Mohr-Coulomb model. I found the slope of stress-strain curve from the results is double of that defined in the input file. I don't know what's cause it or my understand of the slope is wrong.

Only one 8 node C3D8 element is involved. To simplify the question, let the friction angle be 0, it reduces to a Tresca model actually. The material is defined as:

I am looking for a source which has a good explanation of the pill box argument to prove continuity of the traction vector. If you know of such a source (url, book etc) please let me know. 

Thanks,

My name is Georges Ayoub; I am looking for a postdoctoral research position in mechanical and material engineering in the field of the polymer science, polymer behaviour and fatigue.

I am presently preparing my last year of PHD at Lille1 university (north France) and ill defence my thesis in September 2010. I am very motivated to start a Postdoctoral position, at the end of my thesis, in a Anglo-Saxon country.

Dear Friends

Does anybody know how can I add following boundary condition in Fluent software for outlet of an internal flow ? Is there any easy way without needing UDF or etc.

Where p is pressure, Re is Reynolds number and v_n is the velocoty component normal to the outlet section.
