Importing strain values in XFEM

Submitted by sam_uk_2000 on Wed, 05/14/2014 - 11:50

Hi,

Does anyone know how to import the strain values from simulation run in one model, into an XFEM model? I am trying to model creep seprately in one model, and wanted to import the strain values of each step in that model (10 steps, representing 100 yars), into an XFEM model to find out when the crack initiates and propagates in duration of 100 years.

Thank you very much,

Sam

Composite crushing + CZONE application

Submitted by davidrbmelo on Wed, 05/14/2014 - 11:30

Hello,

I am modelling a crushing simulation of a composite corrugated coupon using Abaqus/Explicit and CZONE Abaqus' application.

I am modeling the coupon using S4R elements and the impactor as a discrete rigid shell plate with a slow constant crushing speed or high initial velocity for quasi-static and dynamic crushing simulations respectively.

I am using Hashin damage in Abaqus/Explicit and Hashin and also Tsai-Wu on CZONE application.
