Webinar - Accurate and rapid 3D multi-point optimization of Turbomachinery by Integration of TURBOdesign1 with ANSYS Workbench

Submitted by ADT on

Emission regulations such as the EU ECOdesign or US Department of Energy Pump Systems directives require pumps to be designed based on their life cycle emissions and hence require pump stages to be optimized considering multiple operating points.

Second derivatives of displacement field ABAQUS

Submitted by rpenidef on

 

Hello everyone,

 

I need to compute the second derivatives of displacement field in ABAQUS, in the integration point of quadratic elements if it is possible. I thought about using USDFLD subrutine, but I am stuck with getting the Jacobian matrix that couples the isoparametric space with the physical space in ABAQUS. GETVRM is what everyone suggests to get variables from abaqus, however I did not find the definitions of JMAC, JMATYP... so I do not know what I can get from that subrutine exactly.

 

NonLinear Beam formulation

Submitted by xhawk on

Hello,

  I am phd student in mechanical engineering. I want to use of total lagrangian formulation for analysis of a cantilever beam element using UEL abaqus subroutines. my difficulty is how to calculate the internal load and the tangent stiffness matrix. my code does not converge. can you help me. if there is a simple code I was wondering if someone aware me.

 

Thanks in advance

Finger Motion Detection Glove Toward Human-Machine Interface

Submitted by mortezaamjadi on

Finger motion capturing systems have a wide variety of applications such as telerobotics, rehabilitation, and avatar control. While commercial devices are too costly, studies on such systems are either impractical to use or have speed limitations. This paper proposes a practical version of the glovebased finger motion capturing system.

User friction model in Abaqus : how to code an hysteretic friction behaviour ?

Submitted by remi_thanwerdas on

Hello everyone,

I have to use an hysteretic friction model. I am trying to code this in Abaqus by using the FRIC subroutine. The language is Fortran 77.

I am testing my code on a very simple model : two plates sliding on eachother. I apply a 1 cycle sinus displacement at the end of one plate and a apply some boundaries at the other side.
