I am trying to use subroutine VUINTER in ABAQUS to extract the SFDR surface based interaction variable (Heat flux per unit area entering the surface due to frictional dissipation).

If i assume that the subroutine code I have written is correct, how can I request from the software to include SFDR in the field output variables? I am trying to add manually from the field output request dialog but i get a warning message that this is invalid.

Can someone help me please?

Thank you

ABAQUS - Problem concerning "concrete damaged plasticity" model

concrete damaged plasticity

Hi all,

I'm trying to solve a frame structure in ABAQUS. I'm using 3D beam elements (B31) so that shear and bending stresses may appear. This is ok for an elastic analysis, but I also want to perform a failure analysis of this frame. Therefore, I'm trying to use the "concrete damaged plasticity" material in ABAQUS. But I've read in the manual I can't use B31 elements with this material.

Does anyone know how to combine the "concrete damaged plasticity" material in a 3D beam analysis? Any other suggestions?

education

Hi dear members

I am a student doing my Masters in Automotive Engineering at RWTH Aachen and am interested in Structural mechanics. I have done a basic course on mechanics of composite materials and am decently conversant with mechanics of composite laminae. However I am asked to do this mini project where in I am asked to search for a Material model on LS Dyna which is suitable for simulating the crash loading on a 3D braided carbon FRP.
