I HAVE A REGIONAL UNIVERSITY DREAM

I need to learn Abacus for modeling impact dynamics of ductile plates. Can anyone recommend some tutorials, books, or courses that would be helpful?

Thanks,

Post-Doc Position: Multiscale Simulations of Pattern Formation in Mixed Crystals

In Abaqus, *DLOAD element set, Pn, magnitude.

What does "n" in "Pn" mean?

One Ph.D. student position is available at the Centre for Innovative Structures and Materials  RMIT, University. The research topic is about computational mechnaics and structural topology optimisation. It is expected to enroll in the end of this Auguest. More details please contact with e89817@rmit.edu.au

Hi

I have imported my Hypermesh model to abaqus. While running the .inp file I am getting the error message  the keyword is misplaced in definition of surface.

Can anyone tell that what is the exact sequence to define the surface in .inp file.

I am attaching my input and error message file.

This treatise provides a broad overview of the definitions of
fundamental quantities and methods of analysis for the use of solid materials
in structural components. The presentation is limited to the linear elastic
range of material behavior where there is a one to one relationship between
load and displacement.  Fundamental
methods of analysis and typical results for structures made of elastic solid materials
subjected to axial, bending, torsion, thermal, and internal pressure loading;

Hi friends,

 Does anybody know what this error mean?

The general contact definition is empty. The definition must include at least one surface. If *CONTACT EXCLUSIONS was defined, check whether the *CONTACT EXCLUSIONS option was specified correctly. Additionally, check whether PURE MASTER-SLAVE formulation is applied to any self-contact situations.

Has anybody the  full pdf version of
Handbook of Adhesion Technology from dasilva??

please share the pdf version of this book with me...thank you very much !

Hello everyone. I am new to Abaqus and was wondering how to create a model of a heat sink mounted on a heated silicon dioxide substrate. The substrate is on the left side and is a rectangle with a height of 40 mm and width of 5 mm. The heat sink is connected to the right of that with a parrellelogram shape, left side height of 40 mm (adjacent to the substrate), and right side parallel with a height of 5 mm. If anyone can help it is greatly appreciated. When I try modeling it, during section assignments it will not allow me to assign any sections. I have attached a picture of the model.

Hello

I'm a bigginer with abaqus scripting. I need some sources to start learning it. If any one has some sorces please share them.

Dear friends, i current doing a project work on testing fatigue life of superelastic nitinol. And since i am very new in using abaqus for testing the simulation, i seeking help from people around here to ask for method to test the work. My objective is to set a maximum elongation for 1%-6% of elongation and test for 40,000 cycle if it can work for this amount of cycle..

i Hope anyone can help me as i need to finish this project in order to graduate and i didnt get any single help from regarding this software from my side..

Hello guys,

I am working on a project wherein there is a rubber material which gets compressed. Now I have the force-displacement curve for this rubber material. I intend to represent the rubber with NL springs.

The F-d curve mentiones the specimen details as 5*100mm. This i beleive is the tested specimen. Now how can I consider this for the whole rubber model???

I have n number of springs connected in parallel. How can I consider this when I use a F-d curve?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
