Solver for XFEM

Submitted by Arash Zamani on

In the FEM book by KJ Bathe and also in the fem book by G.Dhatt, it is said the direct solvers are generally more convenient than iterative solvers and new versions of them include reordering and efficient use of skyline method. In contrast there are iterative solvers with capability to directly manipulate sparse format of matrices. I am now working on XFEM coding with C++ and don't know what type of solver would be the best for XFEM. the conditioning issues of matrices obtained from XFEM would be a difficulty for the choice of preconditioners.

Introducing a user defined heat flux to ABAQUS

Submitted by proksi83@gmail.com on

Dear all,

 

I must apply a user defined heat flux to ABAQUS for getting thermal profile in defferent nodes and elements. How can I apply this user defined heat flux to AVAQUS and how can I write this user defined heat flux for ABAQUS?

About the half-step residual tolerance in Abaqus

Submitted by NewerLi on

    This days, I am working on the dynamics analysis using the Abaqus. the implicit dynamic integration method in abaqus is HHT-alpha. I found that a very strange parameter about the method is the half-step residual tolerance . I don't know the parameter is whether important or not and how to determine it.

thank you very much :)
