How to model fastener with same force-displacement behavior for all translational directions in a plane in Abaqus?

Submitted by huyhung on

<p>Hi everyone. I want to model the fasteners connecting a wood sheathing to a steel frame in Abaqus. I want to input the same force-displacement behavior for all translational directions in the plane of the sheathing (like a radial spring). <br /> <br /> I was using spring element type Spring2 (nonlinear) but I could define behavior in only 2 translational directions in the sheathing plane (X and Z). This made my model overly stiff after the elastic range. I read about the RADIAL-THRUST connector element but it does not seem to be the one.

Most of topics here in this web site treat the physical behaviour of materials, I would like to share my knowledge and my ideas concerned the analysis vibration of materials ( forced and free) for understand the mechanical behaviour of structures

I adress this message to  researcher whom interssting on dynamic of  structures 

ORPHAN MESH AND TIME PROBLEM

Submitted by Apocalyptica on

Hello everybody

I try brain injury in abaqus 6.13. I use for 3d modelling mimics software and 3 matic. ı make all brain parts from MRI in mimics and export to 3 matic for meshing. I do smoothing,reducing triangle etc. in 3 matic. then export to abaqus with orphanmesh. ı am doing assmbly, step, intreaction, bc,jop etc. in abaqus and run. ı use just abaqus interface but not phton ı am new in abaquse. my problem are

Numerical analysis of quasi-static fracture in functionally graded materials

Submitted by Emilio Martíne… on

This work investigates the existing capabilities and limitations in numerical modeling of fracture problems in functionally graded materials (FGMs) by means of the well-known finite element code ABAQUS. Quasi-static crack initiation and growth in planar FGMs is evaluated. Computational results of fracture parameters are compared to experimental results and good agreement is obtained. The importance of the numerical fit of the elastic properties in the FE model is analyzed in depth by means of a sensitivity study and a novel method is presented.
