Surface Pressure in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Model

Submitted by Kewei Li on

Hi, All: I am working on a fluid structure interaction problem with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method in Abaqus. My solid is a deformable structure. I would like to know the pressure on the surface of structure where solid and fluid (particles) contact with each other. I wonder how could I output this vailable from the SPH model in Abaqus. Thanks a lot in advance for any help!

Hello all.

For the below cases: 

1) Penny-shaped crack in a cylindrical bar

2) Penny-shaped crack in an infinite body
3) Semi-elliptical surface crack 

I need to calculate the stress intensity factors by using ABAQUS. 
  
Please help me how can I start and provide me any tutorial/example if you have.  I shall be grateful to you. 
 
Sincerely
sufian

Problem with abaqus : shell-solid assembly

Submitted by alxmk on

Hello everyone !

I'm new to abaqus and have a problem with the shell-solid assembly. I want to model a shell element (plate) clamped into two solid elements (parallelograms) on its top and bottom edges.

I've tested different possibilities to do my assembly (shell-solid coupling, merging the geometry or the mesh when assembling the two elements) but none of them work. There's always a problem whis the definition of the elements' properties when I submit the job.

Does anobody have a solution ?

Stacking of DOFs in Abaqus

Submitted by knutankv on

I am studying the response of a bridge in MATLAB, and have successfully retrieved mass and stiffness matrices from Abaqus using the following keywords:

 

*Step

*Matrix generate, STIFFNESS, MASS

*Matrix output, STIFFNESS, MASS, FORMAT=COORDINATE

*End step 

 

This gives matrices on a mathematical form, very well suited for use with MATLAB.

Need help for running UMAT of Dr. Huang's single crystal

Submitted by Soud Choudhury on

Hello Everyone,

I am a new member of imechanica. I have started to learn UMAT of Abaqus to model my material behavior ( Cu6Sn5, HCP) using crystal plasticity finite element model. I found Dr. Huang's single crystal UMAT to start learning UMAT and I thought that it would be a great guide to start though it is written for FCC mat. But unfortunately I was not able to run the UMAT with it's input file.

Finit element Analysis of mandible bone with implant

Submitted by king_man on

Hi everyone

i work on a bio mechanic project. i am going to simulate a mandible bone
with implant. at first i want to use Materialise Mimics V10 to convert Ct Scan
data of a mandible without implant to a 3D model. i thought i could edit
the exported file on the other software (Ansys or Abaqus) to add the
implant. but, exported file from mimics can not have any edit .Actually
it has not volume and i need to have a 3D solid model. please help me !

Hello,

 

This is my first post in imechanica and i hope you can help me, im working in my finall project to obtain my MsC, im working in the simulation of crack growth in freeting fatigue, i found usefull the article post in imechanica by Eugenio Giner node/4338. Im having problems with the preprocessin files, Can you help me with some information about how to create the input files? (i have some basics using ABAQUS CAE, but i dont know how to create the input files like mOXY.prn, TopNox see article)
