ABAQUS

create shell planar in 2D model ? (Abaqus 6.13)

Submitted by matiascuitino on

Hi,

I have modeling a ground in abaqus and simulated earthquake. will i need allow infinite elements in the laterals model (left and right). In other examples i see in the features (module part) created  "shell planar" en the places to create the infinite element (edge, no plane)... so .. how its made ?

 

thanks. 

PD: Me english is terrible, sorry.

 

ABAQUS: Calculating area of a Solid Of Revolution

Submitted by CD on

Hello,

I would like to calculate the area and volume of the solid of revolution obtained by revolving a sketch. I have used the query tool (mass properties) to get such values. The volume is OK but the area is equal to zero. How can this be possible? This is the warning I get from abaqus:

"Warnings: Some mass properties could not be computed due to the following issues detected while querying the selected region(s) - zero thickness, zero material density, missing section definition."

Solution-Dependent State Variables Defined in Subroutine FRIC Cannot be Displayed in ABAQUS Visualization Module

Submitted by rmbwang on

Hi,

 

I am now using ABAQUS subroutine FRIC to define some solution-dependent state variables, and I am currently able to check these values throung writing them into a TXT file in the subroutine. However, I cannot find these SDVs displayed in the ABAQUS visualization module although I have already specify them in the Field/History output manager.

 

I will be appreciate if anyone could give me some advice on this.

 

Thanks a lot,

Error about Degree of Freedom 11 in Abaqus

Submitted by Iriene Elok on

Hi friends, I'm new here and also new using abaqus.

I need to do my final project about bird strike analysis using abaqus. But for now, I try to follow the tutorial from youtube about impact bullet first. For some trial sometimes i found errors and never succeed to solve it. Included the impact bullet trial. This is what i've got:

New publication for UMAT and VUMAT in ABAQUS

Submitted by safaei on

We performed a comprehensive study of a large class of Implicit and Explicit integration algorithms for Elastic-Plastic behaviors in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) developed in UMAT and VUMAT for ABAQUS and presented various unique results. We also showed detailed integration algorithms for both Associated and Non-Associated Flow Rules with mixed isotropic and kimenatic hardening with expandable number of internal variables (damage and etc).

Thermal stresses Abaqus

Submitted by multi_scaler on

Hi all,

I have a  20 node hexahedral "Thermomechanical" element in our inhouse software which i am trying to validate against Abaqus .

The problem is, the displacements, nodal forces match exactly ( Just compared the max min values in the legends! and checked a few random nodes).

The Abaqus input file is attached:

The problem is as follows:

One single element is chosen with a linear elastic material model (Some parameters are chosen in an unphysical manner but here the idea is

to just validate the implementation):
