Reverse Engineering Ants for Robotics
New research is emerging out of a project where Ohio State University used our software to reconstruct the anatomy of an ant neck. In this project, micro-CT scans of an ant neck were reconstructed using Simpleware software and exported as a mesh for analysis in Abaqus.
2D problems in abaqus
I am new to
using Abaqus.
I want to simulate crack propagation analysis using FEM and XFEM
in abaqus to obtain SIF value for a stationary crack for 2D prolems.
Can you explain me how to simulate this problem in abaqus?
Thanks.
BENDING MOMENT DIAGRAM IN ABAQUS
I have created a channel beam using 3D shell elements. It is subjected to two point loading each at 1/3rd length. I have performed STATIC RIKS analysis. Is it possible to draw bending moment diagram for this model? Orelse if i use section moments how can i interpret the maximum moment?
Your reply is highly appreciable.

BCs of a rotating crankshaft in abaqus
Hello,
I'm facing this problem with Abaqus: a crankshaft rotates with a constant speed. A varying force is applied on the surface of the piston rod. The inertial forces must be considered-> Dynamic Explicit. I predefine a rotating velocity for the whole model (Predefined Field). The problem is that I don't know how to apply the BCs of the ball bearings. I have applied fix BCs (displacements) at the Initial Speed and then, for the Dynamic Explicit, I have applied a rotating velocity for those BCs. I think this is incorrect at all.
Missed the SIMULIA XFEM eSeminar?
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!
