Here is My and Kathleen's PowerPoint presentation. Have fun with it.

Hi all

How can i get the coordinate data of integration points of a 20 noded brick element(reduced integartion)?

thanks you

Hi, all,

I am writing one code of vumat. I want to know how to get the element number of current material point in vumat.As you know, we can know it in umat from NOEL. But in vumat, how to get it?

thanks

Hi friends

I've a question about ALGOR PipePak...how does ALGOR(PipePak) calculate the stiffness matrix of a pipe element...I guess it's available on its user's guide,,,but unfortunately I don't access that...can anybody guide me on this issue ?

Hi everybody,

I am a phD student modelling the behaviour of the ceramics under nanoindentation using ABAQUS. I have read that Drucker Prager plasticity model is suitable for ceramics under indentation. To obtain these parameters ABAQUS users manual suggest doing a triaxial test, but I can not find any information relating triaxial test with ceramics (I only find it for soils and rock). Does anybody know another way  to obtain these parameters? Has anybody performed this test experimentally before?

 Thanks,
