How Can I model a dental bridge in abaqus which it is made of composite beam that surround with ceramic (3d model)
Hi dear
I am going to model a 3d dental bridge in abaqus that it is made of 2 parts:
1: a beam with 5 plys from fiber and adhesive (composite part)
2: orthotropic ceramic part which surround the composite beam
I'd appreciate if you help me and write the sequences in the modeling of this issue.
please send it to my email: kian32m@yahoo.com
thank

Modelling a dental bridge
Hello,
First of all you have to make a model with a clear (smooth) interface between the two materials (composite and ceramic). With the term smooth i mean that the elements of the 3D mesh do not not have irregular shapes at the interface. Orthotropic materials work better with brick elements and not with pyramids. It is difficult in your case to make a mesh from bricks, since the geometry of the model is too complicated. In order to create a structured mesh you can start with making a very good geometrical model by dividing the entire model with structured volumes. And then move on with meshing.
I hope i gave some clear information about the general concept of modelling.
