Abstract:
Dear Colleagues,
Following the last successful events in the past years, the next ESAFORM
Conference on Material Forming (ESAFORM 2013) will represent the 16th
edition of one of the most important and well-established international
research meetings on the material forming field. The conference will be held
at the University of Aveiro, Portugal, from 22 to 24 of April, 2013.
Hi,
i need some help in writing the surface mesh in abaqus. i have a wing model, meshed using hexahedral mesh. now what i want is to write the surface element detail on a file, containing the element number and its neighbouring four nodes. for example
12, 2 3 5 6
here 12 is the element number and 2,3,5 & 6 are the corresponding nodes.
Hello, everyone!
I am a graduate student in Hunan Univ, my research field is meshless method. Instead of using codes to calculate, I find EFG has been well developed in ls-dyna, and using software may be more convienient for me.
But I can only find some introductional information, so I want to find some useful material in iMechnica.com!
THX!
Dear all, these days I use combin14 to simulate the boundary conditions. I use two types of springs to simulate support. One is linear displacement spring, the other one is rotational spring. When the spring is on the radial edges, the rotation is about radius direction. When the spring is on the circumferential direction, the rotation is about circumferential direction. So i translate all the nodes to local cylndrial coordinate system. When the spring constants are large enough, the simulation results do not meet well with the clamped boundary conditions.
Hello,
Please explain how to conclude a material failure in CAE. The von mises stress what i am getting is is 0.8GPA
New experiments on cracking and corrosion of steel in concrete performed by the M3C4 team. More details at http://microlab-m3c4.blogspot.nl/
Cheers!
I am new in this forum.I am trying to model Fibre reinfored Polymer
fracture in ABAQUS . But, In website I could not find any example for
that.I have done fracture model for isotropic material such as
Alluminium using Contour Integral.But, for this FRP I am being unable to
model it.What should be my consideration (different from isotropic)
using this contour integral.I want a tensile matrix cracking or
matrix-fibre interface cracking or fibre cracking. Please help me in
this regard.
Hi,
I'm trying to do simulation of a standard shear test of a composite specimen. Hence I'm using the composite layup to create the section of my specimen. But I'm getting the following error no matter what i do. I have even tried the following tutorial but still I'm getting the same error. The link to the tutorial - https://sites.google.com/site/abaqus2010/tutorial_1/tutorial_1-3c.
I'm stuck here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance :)
