Interested in learning how to automate multi-step simulation workflows?
Join us on Thursday for this FREE eSeminar and learn how Learn how Isight could be used to:
•Automate a series of functions to create a Sim-flow
•Add components to a Sim-flow
•Execute a Sim-flow
•Visualize Sim-flow results
•Assess the impact of the various design variables on the objectives
and identify significant interactions among the design variables
•Perform material model calibration

Abaqus:warning message,Tangent directions used to enforced contact constraints for contact pair
Well I tried to search for a related thread and could not find one, so creating a new
one. But if such a thread exists, please direct me there, thank you. I
am trying to define the contact between two gears and it worked
perfectly before without Substrcture. But I receive a warning when I use
usbstructures. I do not want go into much details because I do not want
to confuse anyone. I wish to have answer only for following question:
Announcing Wear of Materials 2015 - Website has just gone live
20th International Conference on Wear of Materials
12-16 April 2015
The Sheraton Centre, Toronto, Canada
The 20th International Conference on Wear of Materials will focus on both the fundamental and applied aspects of wear and friction of materials at the macro-, micro-, and nano-scale. It will address the understanding of tribological phenomena; particularly the progress in recent decades and a special session will concentrate on modeling of wear.
Paper: On finding cohesive law parameters for foam-metal interfaces
A detailed report of our work on trying to find cohesive laws for interfacial fracture is attached. I will add the experimental data after a shorter version of this report has been published.
The reason for posting this report on iMechanica is so that people who want to replicate the tests or perform similar tests know what is involved. As we have found out, many details and potential problems faced by an experimentalist are hard to determine from the concise papers that are typically published as journal articles.
Faculty Position - Computational Materials Science
The Department of Mechanical Engineering
at the University of Wyoming invites applications for a tenure-track faculty
position at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in the area of computational
materials science. The successful
applicant will be expected to establish an externally funded research program, develop
collaboration within the Department and College, mentor graduate students, and teach
at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Minimum qualifications include an earned doctorate in mechanical
Calling a File inside of the UEL
Hi everybody,
I'm writing a User Difined Element (UEL) for my research.
Would you please let me know if it's possible to call a file (txt, dat, etc) inside of the UEL or not?
Example:
IF (LFLAGS(3)=1) THEN
OPEN (UNIT = 10, FILE = "AAA.dat", STATUS = "OLD")
READ (10, *), StiffnessTable
AMATRX=StiffnessTable
END IF
Thanks in advance,
material points will change while using subroutine in ABAQUS
This subroutine using VUSDFLD is to
determine position of damage and provide evolution of damage surface, when some
elements failed. The “outer” damage status will transfer to “inner” damage
status.
Now the problem is that when I read the
coordinates of material points, using coordMp（k,1),coordMp（k,1),coordMp（k,1), it returns wrong locations. Then I
tried a very simple loop:
Do
k=1,nblock
stateNew(k,7)=nblock
end Do
CISM Advanced Course "Ferroic Functional Materials"
We would like to draw your attention to the advanced course at the International Centre for Mechanical Sciences (CISM) to be held in Udine (Italy) from September 8 through 12, 2014 on the topic of: "FERROIC FUNCTIONAL MATERIALS: EXPERIMENT, MODELING AND SIMULATION". The advanced course will comprise of distinguished lectures from the following experts:
- Kaushik Bhattacharya (Caltech, USA)
- Manfred Fiebig (ETH Zurich, Switzerland)
- John Huber (University of Oxford, UK)
- Doru C. Lupascu (University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany)
Job gets aborted due to cpset and nset history output definition?
Dear all,
I am modelling an interactin between deformable and analytical bodies by utilisign Abaqus/Explicit. In order to define the contact between those objects I have selected surface-to-surface technique type and applied kinematic contact method as formulation method. As well I have selected individual output for a specially created set of my primary interest. Nevertheless, when I submit a job for analysis it gets aborted and the following warning errors appear:
The cpset or the surface parameter must be specified for history contact output
