Abaqus Help

Submitted by swhww3 on Tue, 06/11/2013 - 01:51

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 everybody.

I am trying to use abaqus software to model the sliding of a metallic pile inside a metallic sleeve. I have tried doing this with the translator connector, but I always get the message that 2 regions in the model are not connected. Can anybody help me with some hints as to how to use the connector, or if there are any other ways to model the sliding?

Need Help for Abaqus/CAE ( best method for fatigue test for tensile test for a number of cycle)

Submitted by reddy8929 on Sun, 05/19/2013 - 16:02

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..

I am trying to model and centre crack inclined at 45 deg angle under uniaxial compression under mixed mode I and II. I am using Abaqus 6.12SE but I'm stuck with Damage Evolution parametres: I chose Damage for Traction Separation Laws, Maxps; Damage Evolution Type = Energy; Mixed bode behaviour = Power Law with power value 1; Now at the bottom what should be the input values of Normal Mode Fracture Energy, Shear Mode Fracture Energy 1st direction and Shear Mode Fracture Energy 2nd Direction. I need help asap. Thanks all.

NL springs query

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.

Biographical Memoir of Zay Jeffries by W.D. Nix

I have written a National Academy of Sciences biographical memoir of Zay Jeffries, one of the great American metallurgists of the 20th century. I am posting the link to the NAS website here with the thought that some readers of iMechanica might be interested in the piece. Some will be interested to learn that Jeffries came very close to discovering dislocations some 18 years before the great papers of Taylor, Orowan and Polyanyi in 1934.
