Truncation of Displacement boundary conditions in Abaqus

Submitted by lorenzoguiducci on

 

 

Hi everyone,

 

I've wrote a script in python to create a model in Abaqus, run the simulations and retrieve the results I need.

I use the Abaqus python build (on PDE).

 

I experience a strange problem with the following command:

 

myModel.DisplacementBC(... ..., u1=0.123456789, u2=SET; ur3=...)

 

which gets translated in the input file like this:

 

*Boundary

myNodeset, 1, 1, 0.1234

myNodeset, 2, 2

 

Cylinder inflation using Abaqus

Submitted by manz_0 on

Hi All,

 I am trying to model the inflation of an enclosed elastic cylinder. The only example I have came close to in the Abaqus support documentation is the air bag inflation test. However, even reading the documentation, I am still unsure on how to model the airbag before an inflation force is applied. Can someone help me with this? You can also e-mail directly: manpreet.puri [at] strath.ac.uk.

link abaqus 6.10 and intel fortran 11 to use subroutines

Submitted by eddie on

Hi everyone

 I did so much efforts but  I could not reach a successful link

between abaqus 6.10 and Intel fortran 11 and in abaqus verification it didn't

pass.  Is there any obvious way to solve this problem? I have not find any

suitable solution in the internet :(

 

Regards,

Eddie

Damping when using UMAT in Abaqus

Submitted by lizheng619 on

As it is known, when using UMAT abaqus, stiffness proportional damping can not be used. However, for the dynamic calculation it is neccessary to put some stiffness damping. So for approximate calculations, it is easy to use numerical damping instead.

 *Dynamic, application=XXX,

and using the key words *Dynamic, XXX, users can adjust the value for numerical damping. Althogh, there is no physical meaning for numerical damping, it can be a temperory solution for UMAT dynamic calculation.

Two Postdoc positions at Northeastern: Solid and Computational Mechanics and Biomimetic materials and structures

Submitted by Ashkan Vaziri on

Two postdoctoral fellow positions at Northeastern University are available immediately. First position is focused on the analysis of the nonlinear behavior of soft matter using computational mechanics and the development and analysis of biomimetic materials and structural systems. Second position is focused on computational and solid mechanics. The research will be carried out at the High Performance Materials and Structures Laboratory (http://www.hpmsl.neu.edu/).

Metals and Alloys Webinar on Modelling: State of the Art in Casting and Forging Simulation
