Calling VGETVRM

Submitted by sujan on

Hi!

Can please help me regarding usage of VGETVRM? I am trying to get material point data of EVF in an eulerian analysis using VUSDFLD but failed. Details is below:

parameter( nrData=6 )

character*3 cData(maxblk*nrData)

dimension rData(maxblk*nrData), jData(maxblk*nrData)

do k = 1, nblock

c jStatus = 1

call vgetvrm('EVF',rdata,jData,cData,jStatus)

EVF=rdata(1)

FIELD(k,1)=EVF

stateNew(k,1)=FIELD(k,1)

How to do a fatigue life prediction of a welded joint using ANSYS?

Submitted by khubaib1987 on

i got three questions here.

1) If im using ANSYS, how am i gonna do a fatigue life prediction of a welded joint? The speciment is butt joint. I need to know the procedure.

2) If im using ANSYS nCode DesignLife, how am i gonna obtain the SN curve if im using FE Model or Multi-column?

3) If Im using ANSYS nCode DesignLife, what should i pick for the geometry if im doing on CTOD method of a butt joint welded speciment?

Thanks for the help. :)

How to use cohesive zone modeling (CZM) approach in ANSYS?

Submitted by riyadmohammad on

Dear All,

Greetings to you. I am M. Faisal Riyad from Bangladesh. I am going to assist one of my professor in his research. The research will about crack propagation analysis. He asked me to learn about the cohesive zone modelling approach in ANSYS. I am searching for some good articles to learn from the beginning. I would be very grateful to you if anyone help me to find the articles or any other way to learn about cohesize zone approach in ANSYS.

 

Thanks,

Faisal 

Pressure increase for a thin walled vessel on Abaqus

Submitted by Ibrahim Emad El-din on

I'm using Abaqus to model a Thin walled pressure vessel till Von Mises Stress (Svm) reaches the Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS). Is there an easiers method to run the program in a way the pressure increases itself till Svm reaches to the UTS instead of running the program several times for differet pressures.

GENERATING MIST FROM STILL WATER

Submitted by pipeyoga_011 on
Dear friends,
I have a question as below ;
Generating MIST
from still water




How much velocity / acceleration (linear) is needed
to be imparted to water lying at rest (at atmospheric pressure) to convert it
into MIST ?



I know that Water is not
converted to mist by velocity or acceleration. It's
converted to mist by turbulent air flow on its
surface.

Re-phrasing a bit as ;

" I put water in open conduit (half pipe
