ABAQUS

Hi Sirs,

As title, I wondering if the problem can be solved with only material residual stress but no other external load applied?

After several trials, Abaqus returns message
"MASS OR DIFFERENTIAL STIFFNESS MATRIX IS COMPLETELY NULL. THE EIGENPROBLEM CANNOT BE SOLVED. IN A *BUCKLE ANALYSIS THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE IS THAT A NONZERO LOADING PATTERN WAS NOT SPECIFIED VIA *BOUNDARY, *CLOAD, *DLOAD, ETC,. SEE Eigenvalue Buckling Prediction IN THE ABAQUS/STANDARD USERS MANUAL"

Hello All,

I am working on stochastic upscalling of damage in concrete microstructure. Can someone provide a UMAT for Mazar's damage model or any resource to help me create UMAT on my own.

Thank you.

Dear iMechanica community,



you can find the UMAT-implementation of a Zener model, i.e. a Maxwell model parallel to a spring, in my PhD thesis:

Hello all,

I have applied a moving ellyptical hertzian pressure load on a surface using a DLOAD which works, but I also need the traction load which is the multiplication of this pressure with a friction coeffcient.

Does anybody have any clue how to do it? Directly through abaqus or inside the same DLOAD?

Kind regards,

Omid

Hi everyone, 

I am working on ABAQUS to simulate Pipeline Inspection Gauge (PIG) movement in a pipeline via CEL technique. I am unable to find how to calculate Pressure Difference in the pipeline using Abaqus.

If anyone of you can guide me through it.

Hi
can anyone please advise me to define connector ellements with following details:
Using rigid plastic CARTESIAN element and a STOP element in parallel and The connector behaviour must be:
1- rigid up to the slip force limit Rn
2- slip at the bolts up to ±1 mm at constant force Rn
3- rigid bearing hardening

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone knows how it is possible to partition an edge in one step with multiple points (like multiple datum points or multiple parameter values)? I know how to partition one edge one by one. The problem of doing it one by one is the amount of time that it takes to do that. For example if I want to put 50 points on one edge I have to pick that edge 50 times and partition it, which takes a lot of time.

I am doing the whole process by scripting with Python so I would be glad if the solutions are in scripting format (I am using ABAQUS 2016).

Thanks,
