ABAQUS/CAE

Hi,

I am modelling installation (Jacking) of concrete pile (rigid body) in soil (Eulerian soil) which involves large deformations.

 For jacked pile contact friction is considered as zero.

Inorder to cope up with large deformation which occur during pile penetration process kinematic contact fomulation is used, this formulation is based of master-slave principle implemented in ABAQUS.

When I run the analysis i am encountering with following error:

Hello everybody, i am new in abaqus, is anyone who knows how to apply periodic boundary conditions, for example for unit cell. The piece of code would be very much appreciated

for example ´

if i have on the left hand side node set NSET1, on the right hand site NSET2 than i should use equation like this for periodic boundary conditions in x-direction?

*EQUATION

NSET1, 1,1, NSET2, 1, 1????

Please help 

Best regards

Hi,

I am pursuing my master's in Mech. Engg. and working on Abaqus for FEA of components. In one of the analysis, 

I am required to apply cyclic loading on the component to determine the Stresses at the edges. Its a compression

cyclic loading with kinematic hardening taken into account. From the documentation for ABAQUS 6.9.1, I found that

in order to apply kinematic hardening in metals, one must take it as Combined (Isotropic + Kinematic) Hardening.

The two concerns I have about this analysis are:

Greetings,

 I need to know how to specify the step in ABAQUS to perform thermal bucking analysis of shell.

Any comment, suggestion or documentation will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Nice to meet you  

I have the report on simulation Roll forming process by ABAQUS.

Wish that I can have your valuable comments  

Have a nice and happy day
