How to get the integration reaction force of the indenter in Abaqus/standard

Submitted by chenzhaoyu on

Hi, everyone,

Now I have a problem with indentation simulation. With Abaqus/standard, I set the indenter as deformable solid, and control the indentation depth of the indenter to monitor the reaction force of the indenter. But it seems the integration operator only can be used under abaqus/explicit, how can I get the integration reaction force of the indenter under Abaqus/standard.

Thank you, any help will be appreciated.

Memory problem COMSOL

Submitted by Johnbarbera on

I am studying sonar detector of large under water systems.
I m using a simple test case in COMSOL at the moment but the memory size
of my problem is too big for my PC.
I tried to reduce the mesh but I had convergence problems
can you please help me indicating
which mesh settings I should choose?

Thanks

 

Post-Doctoral Position at the University of Texas at Austin

Submitted by Ravi-Chandar on

The Research Center for Mechanics of Solids, Structures and Materials at the University of Texas at Austin invites applications for two open positions as Post-doctoral Fellow. The specific projects involve (i) the characterization of the constitutive and failure behavior of structural materials (aluminum alloys, steels, titanium alloys and other selected materials) under quasi-static and dynamic conditions, and (ii) the characterizaation and modeling of the dynamic response of metal-matrix composites. These positions are available immediately.

Matlab - ANSYS interface

Submitted by nabeel963030 on

Hi 

I am woking on an optimization problem. In this optimization problem I want to use Matlab and ANSYS.  In which MATLAB  initiating the optimization problem, and  send input values to ANSYS, then ANSYS find some results and send it to Matlab...then continue the optimization process.

Can any one help me to do these comunications between Matlab and ANSYS?
