springback analysis using LS-dyna and Hyperform

I am carrying out spring back analysis using LS-dyna and hyperform. The procedure as follows: forming is carried using LS-dyna and then the spring back is included in to the result file using hyperform and .k files are created using hyperform itself. While running the analysis, after certain number of iterations, the analysis aborts with message equilibrium can’t be achieved. I have included the both the input files (with and without spring back).

Please point out what could be the mistakes inthe input file and advice me for any additional inputs.

can any one tell me regarding how to neglect stresses at constraint loacations?

Thanks...

Constrained Moving Least Squares (CMLS) Method

meshfree methods

Hello,

I wish to ask where to find more references about application of constrained moving least squares method for imposing displacement bounday conditions in meshless methods. The most important advantage of CMLS over MLS is satisfying Kronecker delta function property, Hence such as finite element methods we can impose the essential boundary conditions in meshless method using CMLS approach.

Thank you,

Pressure over closure function for Polyurethane or (nearly) incompressible materials in general

Pressure over closure function

incompressible materials

Hi,

Is anyone aware of a pressure-overcosure function for (nearly) incompressible materials.

I am aware of functions for PE and articular cartilage but they do not work with v=0.5. I have been trying to find similar functions for elastomers, but can't seem to find anything.

I am grateful for any input.

Andreas
