Radiation in 1D beam finite elements

Submitted by Rani on

Hi everyone,

 

Has anyone ever come across the treatment of radiation heat transfer in one-dimensional beams using FEM ? Convection and conduction are well established, but I was wondering whether radiation is still an open area of research?

 Any links to publications would be very much appreciated, Thank you

SIF Accuracy - Abaqus XFEM

Submitted by mcgrete on

Hello,

 I understand from word of mouth, as well as an extensive study/Master'sThesis (http://publications.lib.chalmers.se/records/fulltext/164269.pdf), that Abaqus XFEM formulation works, but that processing of results to obtain reported SIF (KI, KII, KIII, not sure about J, others) are in error due to apparent bugs in Abaqus's algorithm to calculate the SIFs.

vumat problem

Submitted by IUT student on

Hi

my problem is to define initial value for solution dependent state varibales in Vumat.when I define them in .log file the same as help,it doesn,t work and the error is your'e defining initial condition for element zero while this elemet doesn,exist.what can I do for solving this prolem.

thanks alot

Abstract

FEM modelling of braided composites

Submitted by Abhinav Tripathi on

I am doing simulation of fiber reinforced composites, for that I have modelled a cubic REV. However , when I am constraining the opposite faces' node displacement sum to be 0 and coupling the nodes in each face in the direction perpendicular to the area, ANSYS is coming out . I have tried this on i7 processor with 8GB RAM system. I am confused if its a RAM problem or a model problem. If there are too many constraints if I apply coupling as well as constraint???
