I have the fixed boundary conditions in the previous step. In the next step I need to modify BC. For this I use setValuesInStep in Python script, but get OP=NEW instead of OP=MOD, as I want. Any idea how to get the desired OP=MOD by using Python? Thanks in advance.

The Scientific Computation Research Center (www.scorec.rpi.edu) at Rensselaer is seeking a highly qualified post-doctoral research associate to develop and apply automated and adaptive computational solid mechanics methods for multiple application areas with an emphasis on evolving geometry problems such as the modeling of additive manufacturing and material failure.

 I am modeling drained triaxial compression test. I modeled soil as cylindrical part in abaqus. Bottom part of cylinder is fixed and on top displacement is applied. I used Dynamic/explicit steps. After running model and getting .odb file, couldn't match stress strain diagram from experimental results. I don't know whether i am calculating stress in right way or not. Can anybody guide me in this regard? Advanced thanks for your reply.

Dear sir/ma'am,

We are extremely glad to communicate that Department of Mechanical Engineering, R.V College of Engineering, Bengaluru is conducting an International Conference on Computational Methods and Simulation on 19th, 20th and 21st of August, 2015.

I am new to Abaqus, and moddlling railroad ballast material in abaqus for cyclic loading. Could you please anyone let me know what is best elsto plastic model in Abaqus I can use for the ballast material.

Thank you.

hello

im a new abaqus user and i want to model a viscoelastic material (asphalt) in abaqus . i have uniaxial creep test data for characterize viscoelastic behaviour . my question is how can i enter viscoelastic parameters in abaqus?is there any way to put creep test data directely in abaqus??

in abaqus for modelling viscoelastic material in time domain there are three ways:

1)combined test data

2)shear test data

3)volumetric test data

Hi 
My question is on what basis do we decide 

1. The dimensions of the sample 
2. The dimensions of the hot and the cold plate 
3. The type of temperature detector sensors used 
4. Heating Source for the hot plate
