ABAQUS Tutorial and Assignment #1

M.H.Shakib

You are so nice, thank you!

Cool, this kind of study material if shared ii good, I want to learn and improve my basics in non linear analysis, have any suggestion for me.

I want to learn the approach strategy for a fea problem, specially how the load is applied and boundary conditions, under which category this problem comes ect... please advise

1-4 CAE Example.pdf  There is this example in the abaqus help file also you can find more complex tutorial in the help file. I need simulation techniques about Self piercin rivets. Is there any body here who know self piercing rivets simulation in Abaqus...

Thanks a lot Nanshu for ABAQUS tutorial. I am now learning ABAQUS by myself. If you have this type of more tutorials can you upload it specially truss elements?

thank you once again.

 I am a design engineer , I had many years with the modelling and I always want to learn ABAQUS ..thanks for the tutorial.

iam not getting *fil file after running analysis in abaqus cae ,due to this iam not able to do pre&post process in hypermesh,can u guide me on this regard

I want to define an special Behavior (Super-elastic ) for ABAQUS,and I tried to Link my UserMAterial routinr (UMAT) to the program but it doesn't identify my Fortran I don't know why? How can I do that

by the way is there anyone who had done kind of this job?

This is in no means meant to replace any discusion here, but I thought these links might help. They are ABAQUS forums where you can get questions answered.

The official site (ABAQUS answers, requires registration)

http://abaqus.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/abaqus.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php?p_...

The most popular (as far as I know) forum for Abaqus users (unofficial):

http://www.nabble.com/Abaqus-Users-f14343.html

Hope this helps, please share any other resources you may know of.

Thanks.

Hi,

There is also a yahoo group, might find it helpful.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/abaqus

Although, I think this is somehow related to the abaqus users group in www.nabble.com

Amir

I have a question , Could I submit a calcul with tow user subroutine one DLOAD and one UMAT  in the same time ? and how can i do that ?

Thank's

Dear Madam,

Thank you for the documents you have linked. I have a student version of abaqus and i effectively needed this type of document to understand a certain number of things. There are still options that are not obvious for me, but i think i am in the good way.

I was wondering if you had a tutorial concerning crack introduction in a 3-D sample. I would like to have a force representation in function of the mesh size. I don't know how hard a such representation is.

Once again, thank you for your help.

Best regards.

Hello,

I'am a French student, and I have to work on a student project with Ansys of which the aim is to know the pressure (during time) in a compressible fluid layer impacted by a cylindric rigid body having a constant velocity.

Do you know if it is possible to solve this problem with CFX/CFD Flotran, or if I have to explore an other way to solve my problem? Has somebody experience in this domain (impact, fluid), and could help me?

Thank you for your help.

hi,

I am modelling composite structure consist of concrete slab on I-beam, I not sure how to define the 'contact' between surfaces of the sections. any good/simple example (*.inp or *.cae) that i could refer to? so that i will know how/when/where to apply the 'contact' function. please advice. thanks.

Dear members of this community, as a very real newbie to ABAQUS, I would be glad to receive immediate response to this my very first post, if possible...

My subject is as follows:

A cantilever beam, left-end fixed, total length 3 meters.
Material: Steel, Elastic-perfectly plastic, Yield stress:240 MPa
Loading: Varying displacement at free end, node 167 (for example).

Displacement amplitudes:

Time---Magnitude as follows
0.0 ---  0
0.1 ---  1
0.2 ---  2
0.3 ---  -3
0.4 ---  -5
0.5 ---  2

can anybody provide help with

i)material modeling (cyclic plasticity)
ii)applying these displacements?

With all of my best regards,

I am research scholar and recently working on machining of FRP composites. I am in need to study laser cutting process using ABAQUS simulation for one of the problem. Can any one give me idea about how should i approached it with ABAQUS? Beause that will help me to reduce my plenty of time instead of walking in the dark room.

i try to solve stick-slip problem by abaqus 6.5-1,  when i enter to interaction property manager and choose the penalty and toggole on slip rate, the table appear, but the my problem is that, abaqus didnt accept negative value under slip rate becuase just i press on ok that message apear for me (allowable slip rate must be greater than or equal to zero)

so the question is who can i enter negative value to slip rate (relativ velocity)table?

 HI

I work about Modelling and digital simulation of the structures fissured under residual stresses, I have the problem to calculate the J-integral when I have  in initial condition residuel stress, because Abaqus (6.5) define that

Initial stresses are not considered in the definition of contour integrals. Therefore, contour integral calculations for analyses including initial stresses in the regions used for the contour integral calculations will not be correct

I have many others problems see: Modelling and digital simulation of the structures fissured under residual stresses

Can you help me

Hello to everyone

I am doing my PhD at the Technical University of Munich (Germany)
and I want to simulate the structural effects of work pieces due to the thermal influence
of manufacturing processes like laser-beam-welding, laser-beam-cutting or
friction-stir-welding. Unfortunately I am more or less a beginner in ABAQUS,
but perhaps you can give me an advice how to start (a special tutorial for
thermal problems) or if it’s possible to simulate these kind of problems at all.

I would be deeply grateful for any help and 

thanks a lot in advance

 Hi, everyone! tanks for your attention! I am using ABAQUS for module FSI, during analysis, I get the error information:

The ratio of deformation speed to wave speed exceeds 1.0000 in at least one element. This usually indicates an error with the
 model definition. Additional diagnostic information may be found in
the message file.

Who knows the reason for that? and can be remedy? Thanks.

hi,

I am sajib.donig my unedrgrad thesis "strenghtening beam in flexure in two point load" using ABAQUS 6.4.

I got results but the beam analysis shows more stiff behaviour...a lot more than exp results.

i used correct E value. for beam 200X300X3000mm i used mesh size 25X25X25 mm,used t3d2 as steel and shell elements as FRP layer.i modelled 1/4 th of the beam and took advantage of symmetry.i also used rigid element to to apply load in two rows.and supported the beam by restraing 3 line of nodes along width in DOF 2.

can any one suggest me where may be the problem?

Hi

I am trying to make a shell model of a rectangular plate and need the part in the yz plane (I will eventually use the mesh coordinates, which need to be in the yz plane for another program). However I can't seem to draw in this plane, i can only do it in the xy plane which is the default? (The part has to be a 3D shell). Can anyone help? Thank you.

Dear  Nanshu Lu and All

I hope you are fine and am really impressed by the work you have done and are continue to do.  I am currently working on Abaqus 6.9 and trying to solve a contact problem. I have completed few applications in Abaqus very simple ones that include stress analysis of beams and relative simple structures. But now that i have move to contact analysis, I am struggling to make contact between two simple bodies like a 2D model. I use a plate and place a block on top of it and try to make ineteration between the two but no luck

I was hoping if you or any one can help me in this regard with a simple contact analysis tutorial or guide me where i am worng i will really be grateful.

Also my email is

Dear all,

Do you have any experience of using ALE mesh adaptivity in ABAQUS/Standard to prevent mesh distortion? Frankly, I doubt whether ALE mesh adaptivity is available in ABAQUS/Standard or not.

 Any help would be appreciated.

Dear all....

Iam modelling and analysing a simply supported RC slab with ABAQUS CAE through Concrete Damaged Plasticity. The results show poor curve beyond the elastic region. The load vs central deflection graph shows very low curve at plastic region, which is far away when compared to experimental test result. I have tried many options for tensile behavior but still give poor results. I have modeled concrete material using C3D8R elements and T3D2 Truss elements for steel reinforcement which are embedded into concrete.

Please let me know what is the ideal data or equations or expression to relate the tensile behavior of RC Slab.

Please email me at kingstreet101@hotmail.com.

Hi dear i know abaqus new and i like to know about power of flows abaqus thanks have a nice time

Hello.I want to put a cylinderical shell into another,but first cylinder's diameter is bigger.I dont know what type of contact must be selected,can you help me?

ABAQUS defines the viscoelastic properties also using a Prony series for
the shear and the volumetric response. It should therefore be possible
to convert the ABAQUS parameters to ANSYS format.

I have confronted to errors that I dont know how can I resolve theme, as follows:

The rigid bodies with the reference nodes contained in node set ErrNodeRefNodeNoRotInert have no rotary inertia associated with them and the rotational degree of freedom of the reference nodes is not restrained. Either rotary inertia must be defined at the reference node or the rotational degree of freedom of the reference nodes must be constrained. See the status file for further details.

and

The rigid bodies with the reference nodes contained in node set ErrNodeRefNodeNoMass have no mass associated with them and some degrees of freedom of the reference node are not restrained. Either mass must be defined or all of the translational degrees of freedom must be constrained. See the status file for further details.

could you please help me?

Thank you,

I’m trying to model a reinforced concrete beam using concrete
damage plasticity. I have conducted an experiment for both uniaxial tensile and
uniaixle compressive test.  I have used
ABAQUS concrete damage plasticity. I have derived both Tension stiffening and Compression
hardening parameter but I have a problem with concrete compression damage and
concrete tension damage. I don’t know how and what equations I should use and
how to derive the data.

I would really appreciate if anyone could help me.

Dear Lu

I am trying to conduct cyclic simulation of steel material. When I chose combined hardening model 

with use parameter, I must input kinematic hardening parameter C1 and gamma1.

Could you explain how to get this parameter from uniaxial tensile test? Besise that at the subroutine cyclic loading

we must input the eqivalent stress and equivalent plastic strain.   What are these parameter? If I am not wrong thsese parameters identic with 

stress and stress from uniaxial test.?

thank you for your help

Could you please send me the installer of Abaqus software? Thanks so much for kidney stones

Hello everyone,

When you create the plate in abaqus, I don't understand how you apply a crack and how you have a stress distribution in all the sample. Also how to calculate K and J integral. Can somebody advise me ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am a studen in civil engineering. I am trying to modelling some earth dams with abaqus, but I have a problem..I need to use subroutines for both materials clay and sand at the same time..How can I do this?..when I work only with one Umat, i don't have problem but when I use two umats the problems appears..anybody can help me?..

I check the manual, tutorials..etc but i can find anything of this..I hope your help

My mail is lanavi017@hotmail.com, if someone want sent me information directly.. 

Thanks!

hi to all

how i can apply concentrated load normal to shell element (4sR) without partitioned it?

Dear Nanshu Lu and all of abaqus user here,

 hi everyone, Im new user here, after review the notes of nanshu Lu, i try assginment of stressing a plate with a circular or ellliptical hole and i had success to run the input file. but for question 2, the question is about modifying of the input file with using the *DLOAD comand, IST THE THE *DLOAD IS WRITE IN THE FORTRAN FILE AND RUN IN THE ABAQUS ANALYSIS? CAN I GET THE RESULT OF THIS QUESTION OR THE EXAMPLE OF INPUT FILE AND FILE SUBROUTINE THAT I REFER FOR BEGINNER.

Besides, my research is on the bone remodeling and i need to put the complex equation to analysis using the abaqus. so may i have the example such assignment of that with analysis one of the model with modfying the input with the some equation file subroutine..

 Thank you very much...   

I'm a student in the States and I am needing an update tutorial site for abaqus.  I've read throught this site, but a few of the sites I've looked at are 3 and 4 year old tutorials.  I'm looking for help with engineering solids, for car and motorcycle parts .  Any suggestions for a good tutorial would be helpful. colon cleanse Thanks

You are so nice, thank you!

hello
I want to know:
the problems of cracks, and their choice of propagation direction!
1) is there a method by XFM can calculate the integral J (KI and FIC ...)?
2) what are the procedure?
and thank you, my dear scholars?

i am running a dynamic/explicit anlaysis with an
allocated memory of 8GB in 20 GB ram. after some time the
analysis got an error saying that
 "Abaqus/Explicit was unable to allocate sufficient memory during the analysis. Please check the memory setting in the .env file or the memory usage in the .use file if files were available.You can use command "limit" or contact your system manager to increase the datasize for the analysis. If the problem could not be resolved, please report the issue to local office."

i am using 64 bit windows xp system. how can i get rid of this problem. which .env file has to find to make over this problem?

Dear all

I am interested in using beam element in abaqus and define the stress
resultant- displacement nonlinear curve ( Axial-displacement,
Moment-curvature, torque-twist angle), could you please guid me , how i
can define these curves for beam behaviour?

It's my e-mail adress:

How to i use fesafe  thorough abaqus for fatigue life assessment.plz guide me.

Thank you.

Hello,

I have to use .fil fileas for fe safe?But i don know how to generate .fil files ?

Plase help me if some one have ideas.

 thank you.

Hello ma'am, 

I am Swapnil student of VJTI India, doing project in "Measuring stress relief in concrete due to Incremental core drilling". For this I have too model a column in which a core will be drilled in a structural element. I wanted to know how I can analyse a model which is continuously remain loaded during the coring process and will give results in terms of stress/strain at specific increment of coring procedure. 

For. e.g column is loaded for a certain load and is having certain stress level, i'll remove a increment of 75 mm diameter of 5 mm thickness and see the effect on stress in column, i'll repeat this procedure for more number of increments successively in co relation with previously obtained results.

What type of procedure i need to employ for modelling ??? 

Thanks in advance.

hi... every body

i ve modeled crack problem with ansys but i dont get good answer.now i want to model fracture problem of a multilayer bellows analysis that has crack with abaqus.

can any one help me how to start learing abaqus and model crack in it?

thanks alot.

Hi Hodaj

 Use can use XFEM. There is a tutorial that you can follow. Google "Matthew Pais XFEM"

I have modelled using XFEM but does anybody know how to model a crack using conventional FEM. I tried using contour integral but it does not work. When I try to create a crack using contour integral I have to select a crack front and tip, but cannot. 

iMechanica Group.

I trust all is well with all of us. I need the following help.

I am modelling viscoelatic-viscoplatic behaviour of a (natural) short-fiber composite, the materials being chemically modified sisal fiber within a polypropylene (thermoplastic) matrix. I have done creep experiments and have lots of data (e.g fiber tensile strength, modulus, interfacial shear strength values, polymer tensile strength, poissons ratio etc, etc)   to serve s input to the model. 

Can anybody please help with specific tutorials which would be an effective, easy example to follow, and exact to the nature of my research work.

I would greatly appreciate the help. You may use teh following two email addresses (1) mokaloba@bobstandards.bw, or mokaloban@gmail.com

Cheers to all

Kind regards//

Hi,

I installed v6.12-3 on some 64bit Xp PCs for users, some PC it can start but some PC can not start.

I install again but it was not worked.

Any one same me, please show how to fix it.

 Thanks,

Hi,

i performing an analysis for fatigue life prediction in ABAQUS 6.10. But i m having some difficulties understanding the working of direct cyclic step. i dont understand that what are we supposed to write of increament size(initial?,minimum?,maximum?) do i need to know fouirier transformation? what is damage extrapolation constant? 
can anybody help me out on these things?

any suggestion is appreciated.

thanks 

I want to model underwater explosion in Abaqus. there is an example in abaqus help by the name of "9.1.3 Response of a submerged cylinder to an underwater explosion shock wave" which is very similar to what I'm trying to model. the problem is that i apply incident wave(planer/spherical/Undex) on the both structure and acoustic medium but i couldn't submit the model and it says " the model attributes wave formulation type must be set when using an incident wave interaction (Int-1 for example)" 

I wolld appreciate it if anyone could help me with this. thanks. 

This is in response to your e-mail.

I have never used Abaqus to run this sort of simulation. 

Also, I don't understand what you mean by "i apply incident wave(planer/spherical/Undex) on the both structure and acoustic medium".

I suggest you take your problem to your Abaqus customer support person.  If you don't have customer support, you will have to be more detailed and explicit if you expect free help from people who are not working on exactly the same problem as you.

Hello
everyone. My name is Alex, I'm a doctoral student at the University of
Salamanca. I am working with an axisymmetric model, steel material. I intend to
obtain the residual stresses produced
when hits on a major load model (Tera Pascals) for a very short time
(picoseconds). The constitutive model is working: Elastic isotropic, platic
johnson-cook, eos us-up. First work with
Abaqus Explicit Abaqus and then Standart (I import tensions), but Abaqus CAE /
Standart (version 6.13.2) does not allow plastic or Johnson-cook or EOS. To get
"the spring back and therefore residual stress.

Please
could someone help?.

Thank

Regards. 

Dear Colleagues 
I want to start some research on the Carbon nano - tubes.
In the begining I need to model a CNT in the ABAQUS.
I wrote a code for generating the xyz Coordinates of the atoms in a CNT.
The problem is that I can not import them in abaqus.
Does anyone has an Idea ?

This Tutorial is about student assignment help and it is
really best help for all academic levels. However students also take help from
online experts and other seniors.

Is Abaqus satisfied to be used for Soild-fluid interaction analysis?

Dear all

I am Ali from iraq, I MSc student , I want learn instructions to simulate impact velocity,high strain rate impact (Hopkinson appearus) by abaqus prgram,Please can someone help me? thanks and regards

Thank you for sharing this tutorials!!!

Hi everybody!

Does anyone know how can I reread the input file during the analysis and/or how can I apply boundary conditions to a new set of nodes during the analysis but I dont know this nodes before the analysis starts. I will give the new set of nodes during the analysis.

Hello dears

I need your help

How can i model the beam for torsion in Abaqus software?and also how can i design and model a beam by GFRP shell whit the Abaqus software

dear all
-Can Abaqus model the cement integrity during the curing (I need to understand how the stresses are changing and what type of forces are excreting on the casing during the curing)
-What properties should be assigned to the interface (between casing and cement/ and between the formation and cementing)
tnx

Dear all
I have a question regarding the mesh geometry in ABAQUS.
Can Abaqus open a prepared mesh geometry (if so which formats? e.g. STL) or this should be defined inside Abaqus itself?
thanks.
