Missed the SIMULIA XFEM eSeminar?

Submitted by SIMULIA on

No worries! Check out the recording and learn how Abaqus FEA provides proven robust capabilities for modeling bulk fracture and crack propagation in many materials. One of the newest techniques available in Abaqus is the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) whose advantages over alternative approaches include mesh independent crack definition, improved convergence rates for stationary cracks, simplified mesh refinement studies and more!

Buckling analysis of a imperfection sensitive cylinderical shell under compression

Submitted by mani6555 on

I have carried out eigen buckling analysis of cylindrical shell under axial compression under unit load  using abaqus in model-1 and in model -2 i carried out riks analysis gave imperfection 0.2mm fotr shell thickness 2mm radius 0.25m,h=0.5 m after the 100 increment the the shell is subjected to load which is obtained from first buckling load in first mode  here how to get the collapse load

write a command in ansys static structural

Submitted by maralll on

Hi every body,

I wonder if it is possible to write a *Do Loop in the static structural command snipper. I have to change a parameter in some substep of my solution, so I need *Do command. However, I am not sure if it is feasible to write a command in structural domain in order to change some parameters during solution.

I would be really appreciated if some one can help me with that.

Best Regards

Maral
