Hi
This is my first post so bear with me.
I have a question and an answer but have little idea how they got the answer. The question relates to a sample with load being applied at both ends.
Question
Hello,
I am trying to model a reinforced concrete beam in ANSYS 11. This software is new to me and I am having some problem in defining the reinforcement using the software. I have found some of the similar work in ANSYS have used SOLID 65 for concrete and LINK 8 for reinforcement. But I don't know how to input the link element as reinforcement. Since I am just starting to use ANSYS, can somebody please help me by providing some of the basic steps to model a reinforced concrete beam?
Thanks.
Hi everyone,
I am trying to model composite failure in abaqus. I used USDFLD to check different failure mode (fiber tension/compression, matrix tension/compression,..) based on available theory of failure. After checking the failure, if any element fails, the material property like stiffness will suddenly reduces to near zero. At this time i need to chnage material stiffness in UMAT and getting new stress distribution.
My problem is in the input file (inp file) how can I use both command for USDFLD and UMAT?
Here is a part of my input file:
I'm currently studying FEA/CFD and BEM for thermal simulation of custom dies within custom package mounted on custom PCB with encapsulate material (epoxy). I getting familar with CFD concept which seem overkill from ANSYS IcePack (too expensive) but exploring BEM technology from E3D in france (via Vishay).
I have access to MATLAB from other company to try it out for thermal modelling (BEM).
Hi
I am doing seismic analysis of Fluid filled cylindrical steel tanks using FEM. In this analysis I m supposed to find Base Shear and Overturning moment. Steel tank is thin shell and is flexible. For the complete loading of the shell I have its stress field i.e I have Nxx, Nxy, Nyy, Mxx, Mxy, Myy components of the thin shells middle surface. They are per unit length. Using these components how I can find Base Shear and OTM?
Any reference/suggestion for this study....
Thanks in advance

Hi everybody, i am Ravikumar doing M. Tech. project on multi scale analysis of composites.
I gave the input as nodal displacements and different material properties for glass and resin. I applied all the normal stresses and shear stresses on the micro scale model which is of hexagonal array structure. (i.e., one circular fiber at the centre and quarter fibers at the four corners of the model and the remaining portion is filled up by resin).
