J Integral with dynamic explicit

Submitted by anshulfy on

Hi,

I am trying to solve a 3PB specimen with a notch. I am doing the dynamic explicit analysis. I want to find the J-integral. Giving the J-integral as history output. Trying to run it gives following error.

---------

***ERROR: THIS KEYWORD IS NOT AVAILABLE IN Abaqus/Explicit

 LINE IMAGE: *contourintegral, crackname=H-OUTPUT-2_CRACK-1, frequency=0,

             normal, contours=2, cracktipnodes

----------

Running the same for dynamic implicit analysis works fine.

Please help me regarding this. Can't contour integral be calculated with Dynamic explicit analysis?

 

Thanks,

Anshul

Hi Anshul,

I've also looked into this and unfortunately ABAQUS cannot do the J-integral in explicit.
