Elastic failure criterion (ABAQUS)

Submitted by HussamNasreddin on

Dear all,

I would like to define an elastic material with a failure value of maximum tensile strain only. Any element reaches a max. tensile strain value will crack and suffer complete loss of load carrying capacity(possibly delete that element). Thus its a change in geometry that is only considered when redistributing stresses.

 Can this be done...I have been working with ABAQUS for some time now but I could not reach any where

 

Thanks for the help

hi Bana S. Slem,

You may run the analysis job from the commandline with the following syntax

abaqus job=<input filename without extension> user=<fortran filename for the subroutine> -inter

Special care should be taken to name the fortran file

On a Linux system: it should be a file of type (.f)

On a Windows system: it should be of type (.for)

regards

asim

P.S. Please refer section 3.2.2 on "Execution procedure for Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit" in abaqus documentation
