FEA modelling with ABAQUS 6.6 of three roller Flow forming process.

Submitted by probaluwo on

Hi

this is Probal from university of western ontario (UWO). I am working on three roller flow forming process and i have to model the deformation specially in the splined area. could you please give me any idea or give any link so that i can have an idea what to do.

thank you probal 

Different Stress Values between brick, beam and hand calculation?

Submitted by Murat on

Hello Everyone,

I have run a simple beam simulation of a cantilever pipe. I calcualted it with 8-Node brick elements, beam elements and hand calculation. At the up and low edge of the beam connection to the wall, I got maximum stress values as expected. While the beam and hand calculation results are similar  (40 MPa), brick element calculation is higher. (50Mpa). Interestingly the finer the mesh of brick elements the higher the stress values. I couldnt figure out the reason of it. Can any one say a comment?

 Thanks in advance

Importing user defined input files

Submitted by JayZ900807 on
Hi everyone.



I am using abaqus 6.8 and have been able to import Abaqus's user defined input files (For example, the skew sensitivity of shell poblem). However, lately i have been unable to do this, and i am really unsure of why. Now when i try to open the files, I get an error message saying:



WARNING: Empty part PART-1. This occurred while reading keyword options within part definition.

ScanFE -- export to COMSOL format

Submitted by fiizyk on

Dear all,

 My goal is the simulation of the fluid and gas flow in porus media. As the first step few CT scans using X-ray tomography where prepared. Next I have prepared the 3d geometry using ScanIP and ScanFE application. The purpose was to export direct geometry to COMSOL .mphbin format posted in node/2300 using the new feauture of Scan FE.  Unfurtunatelly I have receved an error that the object imported has no geometry. I would like to point also thank I havestrictly followed instructions in the ScanFE dialog window and I have tried all possibilites of exporting.
