Abaqus: Composite layup + cohesive element/contact
Hi everyone!
I'd like to model delamination in a composite laminate with Abaqus. I'm wondering if it is possible to build my laminate using shell elements with the composite layup tool and to insert cohesive elements (or cohesive contact) afterwards?
Many thanks for your help!

In ABAQUS, how to set failure for the analysis of RC Slab
Iam modeling and analysing a simply supported RC Slab using ABAQUS 6.8.2 with static Riks Concrete Damaged Plasticity. My results show that the behaviour of the deformation seems to continue up to 1000mm. My query is that how to set ABAQUS so that the RC slab will fail in a realistic manner either in crushing (compression) or cracking (tensile failure) with reasonable maximum deflection value. Please let me know how to fix this problem. Thanks
How to mesh squre block with a spherical particle inside
I have a squre block and inside it there is an sphere. I want to mesh the whole assembly. I can mesh the sphere but when i try to mesh the squre block with the spherical hole it cant mesh and says "it cant select the source and target face". I also tried to devide it into 8 parts. That helped me to mesh the sphere but i cant mesh the squre with spherical hole with that too. So please anyone can help me out.
Supplier and price details
I am unable to trace the suppliers of PEEK polymer in india. I am worried its price details too. Please help me out. sorry commercial agents.
Displacement Controlled Geometric Nonlinear FEM
Hi I am working on numerical simulation of petroleum pipeline subjected to
seismic hazards. I have developed Geo-Nonlinear FEM code for load
controlled which i have compered with Ansys and it is working fine.
now i would like to apply fault displacement for this i need to
convert my code to displacement controlled using penalty approach
but it is not converging. i will be very happy if any one can suggest
how i can over come this problem or plz sugest me some book or papre. here I am using Newton-Raphson method

3D Doctor Tool
Hi,
I hope this is the right forum to get some help for my work.
I am looking at CT data (DICOM files) to make FEM models. To generate 3D surface/volumes for FEM, I was looking for softwares. They all are pretty expensive (4-10K USD). I have decide togo with Able Software's 3D-DOCTOR. I am lookign for some reviews or user experience or comments for this tool.
Thanks

SOS.Do anyone have this paper?
I have looked for the paper "FASTRAN-II [microform] : a fatigue crack growth structural analysis program / J.C. Newman, Jr" for a long time ,but until now ,I have not found it.Is there anyone so kind to help me ??
Thanks a lot .
