Hi all,

I am trying to complete the tire wear analysis example problem in the Abaqus user manual but I am having trouble with the input files. I have fetched them from the zip file using the fetch utility and I can import the first file (treadwear_axi.inp) in to Abaqus 6.9 but I am unsure how to continue as the other files do not appear to be complete.

Could someone please suggest to me the next steps to inport the remaining files and run the analysis.

Many Thanks

Hi All,

I think that the problem of R (Rotation Tensor) and C (Right Cauchy-Green Tensor) dependence is interesting enough to raise it once again. I have been reading the following paper

R.T.Shield The rotation associated with large strains. 1973

i worked on punching shear of flat slab.

 i used concrete smeared crack model all is ok, but i need two things just two

1)how can i show the crack(crack,conf)

2)how to  get the ultimate load and draw with the central deflection

just that

thank you 

Dear all,

  Can any body help me for butt weld simulation of Multipass welding.I have read that in ABAQUS it can be done by substructring whrere solution of one pass is saved and then next weld pass is applied.Is there any such otipn in ansys? plz share any link or example if anybody is having this?

Engineering structures are made out of materials and as such there is a natural hierarchy in which a material’s intrinsic properties contribute to shaping up the structure’s response. It is possible however to reverse this hierarchy and engineer materials that are made out of structures. In this case, the intrinsic properties of a material are shaped by the structural response. Such a configuration can only be realized with a repeated structure, forming an array of identical unit cells.

Hi Everybody,

I am an Italian mechanical engineer. It's one year I've been in the Wind energy business. I served the Fraunhofer IWES in Bremerhaven within the "Simulation and Assessment of Wind Turbines" in the periods March/June 2011 and October 2011/January 2012: I was involved in the modeling of a 3D turbulent wind field approaching the WEC. I developed in Matlab two models: the Sandia Model and the Mann model. 

Since March I hold the position of Load Calculation Engineer at Areva Wind GmbH.
