Generate softening curve

Submitted by ss09 on

Hello,

 

I seek help from the forum regarding the following. Because I am very new to mechanics.

I have a continuum damage mechanics model with me. I have set up a problem of a typical three point bending test on a notched beam. The notch in the center of the specimen and extends from the bottom face up to the middle of the thickness. It is a plane stress problem. Now I want to simulate load-displacement curve obtained from the experiment (s).

Abaqus Quistio

Submitted by ehsan_atefi on

I am working on Dental Implants and i want to define interaction in abaqus between an implant and the bone surrunding it. I am using Abaqus CAE to do it and i want to define frictional interaction with penalty method but I have problem with the penetration of implant in the bone. I've tried all the possible contact definitions such as surface to surface or node to surface. Sometimes Abaqus gives me some incredible answers for example pulling out the implant!!!! Please help me with this problem. Thank you....

Need an example of wave propagation in a plate using abaqus

Submitted by Hadishah on

Hi every body,I'm a senior student in mechanics and really I need an
example of wave propagation in a thin plate to conduct my project. At
now,main problem for me is how to apply load to get answers with
obvious wave propagtion contour plot without any thing more in just one
refelection.

Thanks in advance,

Hadishah

How is this possible in ABAQUS?

Submitted by Ahmad Falahatpisheh on

I am trying to run UHYPER in ABAQUS 6.9EF1. I have the following questions:



1) How can I get the nodes
ID associated
with element# NOEL in UHYPER subroutine?



2) How can I get the
coordinates of the displaced nodes associated with element# NOEL in UHYPER
subroutine in the middle of the simulation? I tried to use GETVRN but it seems it does not work in
UHYPER.

rigid body-deformable body contact in ABAQUS

Submitted by akmkhoda on

Hi:

 I was trying to model two beam. One is a cantiliver beam with horizontal axis and another one is beam like vertical axis rigid body. When I apply load to the 1st beam it should bend but should not exceed the rigid body. Buy in my model the 1st beam completly ignore the rigid body when deform. I am using Aabqus cae 6.9.

 Anyone has any suggestion or tips , please let me kmow.

Thanks
