Python

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Having learned Python for a while now, I believe it is of benefit to students who want to learn statistical analysis and such models and be able to compute these. Python is an easy to learn language. Oh and did I mention George   his is for  you ;)

Abaqus verification

Submitted by dooman_ak on

Hello everyone

I have a question about Abaqus verification for a Mooney-Rivlin
hyperelastic material example which exist in ABAQUS Documentation/Abaqus
Verification Manual/2.2.1 Elastic materials/VIII. Hyperelasticity with
Mooney-Rivlin strain energy function. In the example for a Test data
input-uni axial tension the company Defined a stress-strain curve as
input for material property(Nominal stress-Nominal strain). But when I
plot these parameters(Stress -nominal strain) as output of the software

Convergence problems in Abaqus-Fortran

Submitted by walterpe1 on

Hi mechanicians:



I decided to post because I have an inconvenience that is not shown in other posts.



I am working in the Abaqus - Fortran environment in a thermal analysis. After implementing a new procedure (which actually works), the .sta file shows me that it has problems in its unique step, more or less in the 60th iteration (it is supposed to get until 500). Twenty iterations after that gets into interruptions because the code cannot converge.



With these lines it is easier to understand my point:
