education

I am learning Abaqus example problems, such as  " Coupled acoustic-structural analysis of a pick-up truck", I want to import the input files to Abaqus/CAE to learn how to build the model and do the analysis, but when I import the input files throug the main menu file->import->model, there is nothing in the model tree; moreover, there are so many input files for one example, how can I import all these files into one model?

Dear All,

I am student new to this field and I recently found this amazing forum. I have a question that relates to the basic understanding of deformable materials.

I would like to understand better or find references that talk about the constitutive relations (stress-strain) for materials with non homogenous material properties, for

example materials that might have modulus of elasticity of the form E(x), E(x,y), or even E(x,y,z).

First, is a material having E(x,y,z) an anisotropic material?

I am doing my m.tech project on fracture mechanics..

I have to model orthotropic plate containing holes frm which 2cracks are emanating radially frm each hole.

my problem is i have to apply out of plane loading like bending moment and torsion.

So can any pls suggest for following problems

1.which element is suitable for above problem..?

2.how to model multiple cracks in ANSYS..?

3.How to apply moments over a plate..?
