Beginner with abaqus.. need help modelling an impact load

Impact loading

Hi,

Im really quite new to using abaqus and I am having trouble with my modelling.  Esentially it is quite an easy problem but my knowledge of the programme is limitted.  Basically all I want to model is an impact load on a wall but im not sure about the analysis steps.  Initially i have been using a static step with a concentrated load but I dont know how to model the dynamic response the wall should experience after the load has been applied.

If anyone can help with this I would appreciate it a lot.

ABAQUS/CAE plots values with discontinuous edges/nodes

The plot is showing a value typically obtained at the integrations points (in this case a single integration point).

Normally you would make a plot like this by taking the mean value of the surrounding elements to each node, then making a interpolated plot like this. However, it is obvious this is not the case around the red node, as it has several different values in the same node.

ABAQUS - i need help to define my boundary condition/loads etc. Please help.

Hi All,

 I'm really new on abaqus and currently having tremendous problem with it. Could anyone help with it? I'm trying to simulate a thin sheet clamped by rigid jaws and moves it onto designated position. Could anyone advice me on how to its boundary condition and so on.. ANy advice is welcomed. I'm really2 desperate.

Thanks in advance,

Dear all,

 

I went through the forums and came across one similar topic, posted by alex_612 "Using Matlab to optimize the ABAQUS/Explicit FE mode", but with no replies. So I would like to bring this similar topic up again.



The problem:



1. I would like to open ABAQUS CAE thought MATLAB (which i have managed to do with the dos('command')), and then run a script as well, through MATLAB. I am using MATLAB 7 and would preferably like to run the whole process thought MATLAB.

I'M USING ABAQUS IN MODELING A BEAM UNDER flexural, "BENDING".   my problem is the concrete material model with tension stiffening. my problem is occured repeatedly for all element types.

Although, i imported the input files obtained from the ABAQUS ducomentaion for support; the same error obtained.. the programe message is

The plasticity/creep/connector friction algorithm did not converge at 10 points

Section definition influences the finite element size?

section definition

I have a doubt regarding the next situation: I'm using a 2D shell deformable part with a solid homogeneous section (plane stress/strain thickness ratio=100) in a standard analysis (static general/static Riks). Should be in this case my mesh always bigger or equal to 100?

Is the plane stress/strain thickness ratio size influencing the minimum finite element size in ABAQUS?

Hi,

 I am a new user here, and I have two problems to use ABAQUS/CAE,

the first problem, I need some tutorials or helps to simulate a coupled temperature-displacement in ABAQUS/CAE !!

 the second is the major problem, my project is in Laser Forming and I want use ABAQUS/CAE in this domain?

thank you in advance for your assistance
