Stiffness Matrix (AMATRX) with complex numbers in UEL

Hi everybody,

I'm working on UEL. The stiffness matrix (AMATRX) which I have
defined is consisting of complex numbers (real and imaginary part).

When I'm running it I'm getting this error message:

Abaqus Error: The executable standard.exe aborted with system
error code 1073741819. Please check the .dat, .msg and .sta files for
error messages if the files exist. ...

FSI issue in abaqus co-simulation: misaligned nodes

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hi everyone,

 I am performing FSI simulation under abaqus.

The simulation consists in a porous solid (elastic isotrope and homogeneous under Abaqus/explicit) filled by a non newtonian (viscous fluid under Abaqus/CFD). The whole is contained in a cubic shell in order to apply proper boundary condition.

The cube is pinned on one face and undergoes a compression displacement on the opposite face. I have defined an interaction condition between the solid surface and the fluid model surface so Abaqus can exchange information during Explicit and CFD simulation.

Questions about UEL

Hi everybody,

I have a UEL for truss element (T3D2). I'm calling and reading some .dat files inside of the UEL. I'm just reading these files inside of the UEL without doing anything to them or with them (It's just a test case). Here is an example:

 

      OPEN(101, file="C:\Users\ak1070\Desktop\UMAT-UEL-UELMAT\UEL TEST\V1.dat", status='old',form='formatted',&
                    &action='read',position='rewind')  
      READ(101,*) AEVectors(1,:)      
      CLOSE(101)

Hi

 

Sorry in advance, but this will be a long story...
Thank you for taking the time to look at it! :)

 

I have a 2D model that worked fine until a couple of
days ago where I tried changing the mesh a bit. Now when I try to run it aborts
calculation and gives some of the following errors:

 

- There are 14 unconnected regions in the model.

Question about UEL

Hi every body,

I'm a new user of UEL and have a questions. It would be very kind of you to help me with it.

I have a MATLAB code which gives me some big matrices. Is it
possible to save them as a file (.txt, .dat, etc) and call them inside
of the UEL? (It's almost impossible to change all of those codes to
FORTRAN or copy-paste them to UEL.)

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards,

Modeling a cardboard material model in Abaqus

Free Tags: 

Hello all,

For a project I want to model a cardboard package model. Basically I can even approximate a material responses, but I just want some material that can be used as packaging, such as cardboard. I am solving this problem in Abaqus. However I do not need to write a UMAT for that, any built in 'similar' model can work for me. Can you suggest some such materials in Abaqus?

Abaqus Eigen Value Analysis Error

Hello,

I am having issues running an Eigen value simulation on a bridge model that I have developed. The model consists of a bridge super-structure supported by pinned connections on the ends of the bridge length and a roller support in the middle.

The model runs without errors when I do not request an Eigen value analysis, but aborts when I request an Eigen analysis. The message file sites the cause as a factorization error. Warnings also appear stating a zero pivot when releasing the 1st dof of the nodes associated with the roller connection.

Calling a File inside of the UEL

Hi everybody,

I'm writing a User Difined Element (UEL) for my research.

Would you please let me know if it's possible to call a file (txt, dat, etc) inside of the UEL or not?

Example:

    IF (LFLAGS(3)=1) THEN
        OPEN (UNIT = 10, FILE = "AAA.dat", STATUS = "OLD")
        READ (10, *), StiffnessTable
        AMATRX=StiffnessTable
    END IF

Thanks in advance,

Missed the SIMULIA XFEM eSeminar?

No worries! Check out the recording and learn how Abaqus FEA provides proven robust capabilities for modeling bulk fracture and crack propagation in many materials. One of the newest techniques available in Abaqus is the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) whose advantages over alternative approaches include mesh independent crack definition, improved convergence rates for stationary cracks, simplified mesh refinement studies and more!

fire simulation

Hello

My aim is simulate the structural response of a plate with pressure applied under fire condition in abaqus

To that extend I know how the temperature variates in time (known T(t) t from 0 too 3600 sec) also I know the material properties and Sy to every temperature.

I thought that the best way to do this is by applying the T(t) as BC in the structure and use coupled temp displacement in one step.

But I don't know if this approach is correct.

Extract natural frequencies in abaqus

Hi all,

 I am new in the blog, so I would like to appologies if this post is already published.

 I am doing a research in vibracion-based health monitoring based in CFRP beams. As a part of my research, I am modeling a composite beam in abaqus and apply transient analysis on it. Before I would like to validate my model with a very simple a easy model for this reason I have elaborated this procedure:

How to implement "steady state dynamic analysis" in abaqus

Hi all,

Here is what I'm interested to model in Abaqus:

I have a shell model, clampled on the booundaries. I want to excite it in a frequency range of 10 to 100 Hz with 10Hz intervals and I want to report the complex displacement of a particular node set at each frequency.

I read in Abaqus documentation of "Direct-solution steady-state dynamic analysis" that:

How to get nodes from a list of nodelabel in abaqus

 Hi everyone,

I am a working on a cube in abaqus. I had to remove some nodes from the face node sets. To be specific edge nodes. I have defined a function in such a way that after removing them what I have is a list of node labels. I am scripting in python. Can anyone help me in extracting nodes back from nodelabels? 

Or is there any better way to remove some nodes from nodelist and get the modified nodelist ? 

Thanks 

Curvature effect on nitinol aortic stent

high i am a student doing a project on curvature effect on thoracic stent. I want to curve the nitinol stent in abaqus. I am using RSURFU and doing static analysis. But am not able to curve it. Also when using implicit dynamic analysis with quasi static apllication my KE is high and comparable to IE. So can any body help me. Crimping and expansion is not a problem.
