ABAQUS

Dear All,

My name is Ronald, student at Eindhoven University of Technology, master Structural Design and i have an import question about the FEM programme Abaqus, about orthotropic materials.

I defined an orthotropic or anisotropic material in Abaqus by using the option; engineering constants or orthotropic (all linear elastic).

Abaqus asks for the modulus of elasticity in direction 1, 2 and 3 and the shear modulus and poisson ratios.

So far so good.

Dear all

I would like to model two non-linear material as shown in the pictures in ABAQUS. But I can model it with its non-linearities. The model has been created with beam element. I used the classical elastic-plastic model using calibrations but because of elastic non-linearities the calculated plastic strain comes negative. please help me howI can model it

regards

Hi,

What is the difference between the nodal force (NFORC) and Reaction force in abaqus. I applied some displacement in my model, when checking the Reaction and Nodal force at the same node, Nodal force is just half the reaction force. Then I did some experiment and applied some load on a node, after solution when i check the nodal force on the same node, it is half of the applied load. Why is it not  same as the load I applied? I am confused. Please help me.

 Thanks,

Hi,

I have to perform thermomechanical analysis of turning process in ABAQUS as a part of my project.

Is there any documentation or tutorials available for it?

Kindly provide me with links if it is available.

Thanking in advance.

Hello,

Does anybody know how change part material during caluculations (between steps) in ABAQUS.

I need to modifie Young modulus of one part in my calculations after first phase of loading.

Thank You in advance

Hello All

I have a problem in which I have to apply concentrated load on the internal nodes in specific directions.

Is it possible to apply concentrated load on internal nodes (nodes which are not on the boundary) in Abaqus, or any other FEM software?

Is it possible to for exampleuse static condensation method and define subdomains in the body and apply concentrated loads on theoundaries of an arbitrary domain? 

I would be thankful if you could help me.

Hi,

I am trying to do Low cycle fatigue analysis in abaqus, and
according to the Documentation, for bulk material damage initiation and damage
evolution definition, I can use the criteria (and type for Damage evolution) as
"Hysteresis Energy". And have to define 4 material variables C1 to
C4.

But in the abaqus material library (in abaqus-CAE) i could find
all the other criteria but not the "Hysteresis energy". I also tried
to define it in the *.inp file but abaqus could not read it (apparently wasn't
writing it correctly).

Hello there,

 I am currently trying to model a cold-formed steel beam experiment, where load is applied through displacement control. I thought using ABAQUS/Explicit and perform a quasi-static analysis would be a good idea.

 However, I have found an error I have not yet been able to overcome, and the results are not as I expected.

Here's the warning message:
