ANSYS HELP NEEDED

Submitted by sspadhee on

I am analysing a beam made of composite material in ANSYS. loding is axial and is applied on the end face. Other end is fixed. I want the deformed face  to be parallel to undformed face. no out of plane warping or deformation. How to do it ? I know applying foce and displacement constraints simultaneously is not possible(and is not wise) but is there a way  ?

viscoelasticity

Submitted by yoshiaki yamada on

When I contributed a review article "Time Dependent Materials" to Shock and Vibration Computer Programs, Review and Summaries, Ed. W and B Pilkey, SAVIAC, 1995, I found that ABACUS included well organized capabilities for viscoelasticity with a well prepared manual and believe that ABACUS still being remained as a most capable software for the subject by the finite element method.

Abaqus/CAE version 6.6

Submitted by Pascal Yee on

 Dear all,

For my final year project, I've done the 3D model of a test fixture which is used for the compression testing of a specimen.

When I apply a downward vertical displacement to top Slider B, eventually the 2-slider linkage mechanism will cause the bottom Slider A to move horizontally and to compress the cube shaped specimen.

hi,

i just want to know either abaqus/cae can modul the reinfocement..or we need to add the text of reiforcement on the input file from CAE pre-processing.

Parallel Computing in the Multi-Body System to Vehicle Dynamics?

Submitted by Xianfeng Ye on

Has someone worked on the parallel computing in the multibody system to the vehicle dynamics? It's what I am doing now. I am faced to make a choice, OpenMP or MPI? OpenMP is a little  easy to program, but with less portability. I prefer MPI and I think if it is a best choice to parallelize the constraint libraries, although it is a bit difficult to program. Am I right? Is anyone  also doing it now? Opinions and suggestions are welcome!
