How to define Element based surface/Node based surface in Abaqus
Dear All
Some one told me to define node-based-surface or element-based surface during defining General Contact in large deformation simulation. I tried my best to figure out how to do it. But i cudn't. I just know it can be done by editing the .inp file by making an element set. and making a surface from that element set.
Is there there anybody who have done it before?? It will be great help if you can explain me how to do it.
thanks in advance.

UMAT subroutine help for li-ion battery lithation process
Hi everyone,
I am trying to run simulation of lithiation in anode material used for li-ion battery. To encounter for plastcity; it needs UMAT subroutine.
Can anyone help meto make this subroutine (as I am not good in programming :()
..?
Thanks
VOLUME MESHING IN ABAQUS
Me,being a novice in abaqus,could anyone tell me how to do a volume meshing in abaqus???Also,how to link a centre node to surface nodes in order to apply boundary conditions to centre node???

Surface Pressure in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Model
Hi, All: I am working on a fluid structure interaction problem with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method in Abaqus. My solid is a deformable structure. I would like to know the pressure on the surface of structure where solid and fluid (particles) contact with each other. I wonder how could I output this vailable from the SPH model in Abaqus. Thanks a lot in advance for any help!
3-D Microstructure Reconstruction of Polymer Nano-Composite using FIB-SEM and Statistical Correlation Function

Abstract
3-D
reconstruction of Halloysite nanotube (HNT) polypropylene composite has
been performed using two different methods. In the first method,
several slices of the composite material were obtained using focused ion
beam (FIB), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A representative
volume element (RVE) of the real material’s micro/nanostructures was
