Buckling analysis of a imperfection sensitive cylinderical shell under compression

Submitted by mani6555 on

I have carried out eigen buckling analysis of cylindrical shell under axial compression under unit load  using abaqus in model-1 and in model -2 i carried out riks analysis gave imperfection 0.2mm fotr shell thickness 2mm radius 0.25m,h=0.5 m after the 100 increment the the shell is subjected to load which is obtained from first buckling load in first mode  here how to get the collapse load

write a command in ansys static structural

Submitted by maralll on

Hi every body,

I wonder if it is possible to write a *Do Loop in the static structural command snipper. I have to change a parameter in some substep of my solution, so I need *Do command. However, I am not sure if it is feasible to write a command in structural domain in order to change some parameters during solution.

I would be really appreciated if some one can help me with that.

Best Regards

Maral

  

Heating patterns in English homes: national survey vs common model assumptions

Submitted by Laure Ballu on

Hightlights of this open access article published in Building and Environment:

• Building stock models need to revise some of their assumptions on space heating.

• Weekends and weekdays are similar in their heating pattern and duration.

• Estimated heating demand temperature is slightly lower than the assumed 21 °C.

• Homes differ widely in their hours of heating and their demand temperature.

Crack length measurement

Submitted by faizan.iitm on

I am trying to measure J - integral from experiment. " Let my initial fatigue crack length is 6mm, then i did single specimen unloading compliance test on it. The crack legth increased to 8mm" If i want to model the same geometry in FEA. Now my doubt is that "what carck length should i take 1) Initial fatigue crack = 6mm 2) final crack length  = 8 mm.................... Note: I need to model my CT specimen in FEA  to correct my experiments :-)

Parallel Multiscale modeling in ABAQUS using UMAT

Submitted by musiddiqui on

Hello everyone,

I am currently in the process of implementing a multiscale modeling approach in ABAQUS/Standard.

Here is what I am doing.

Macroscale ABAQUS model <--> UMAT <--> Python script <--> Microscale ABAQUS model

So basically the microscale model is being called at every macroscale integration point. The UMAT passes the required data to python as command line arguments and the python script returns the stress and tangent modulus in a text file.
