Submitted by WaiChing Sun on Thu, 04/07/2016 - 00:18

Dear colleagues,

I am writing to invite your contirbution to the mini-symposium on failure and instability in soft materials and geomaterials co-organized by myself, Joshua White, Pencheng Fu, Nikolaos Bouklas, and Christian Linder for the upcoming ICCM conference at Berkeley. The deadline for submission has extended to April 15th. More information can be found in the URL listed below.

Does anybody have some experience in the VFRICTION subroutine in Abaqus?

ABAQUS subroutine VFRICTION

Dear all,

I am starting to use VFRICTION subroutine in ABAQUS. But the manual examples are very simple.

To start, I would like to implement the friction law that already exist in ABAQUS(penalty e.g.) to see how this subroutine works.

I do come across the ABAQUS Technical notes about subroutine FRIC in standard which explained the implementation in detail. I wonder if someone happen to know whether similar technical notes exist for VFRICTION in explicit or have experience working on VFRICTION before?

Any help will be very appreciated.

Hi, I am looking for the post-doctoral position in structural dynamics ( instability of the thin structures, shell theory, composite structures, static and dynamic buckling of the shells). I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Nonlinear Mechanics Laboratory at Indian Institute of Tehnology Kanpur (India) where Dr. Pankaj Wahi and Dr. Sovan Lal Das have adviced my research for the past four years. My PhD thesis deal with the shell theory and dynamic behavior of the shell ( especially thin-walled circular cylindrical shells).

Hi friends,

I have a model in solid works to has three laminate. I want to create the model in ansys. I saved it with suffixes parasolid, iges and step But ansys didn't show it. How can I Import it in ansys? please help me.

can I import this model in workbench and then create it in ansys? How should do this work.

model is showed below:
