how we get the moment diagram from the stress if the ABAQUS is available for shell element

Dear all,



Pls be informed that I am using abaqus explicit to model my
pipeline that

embedded in soil. In standard, Coord 1 means x co-ordinate,
coord 2 means Y

co-ordinnate and coord 3 means Z -co-ordinate. But I can not
undestand the

meaning of CoordMP(nblock,j) in explicit. I want vertical
co-ordinates of some

elements of my model but if I put CoordMP(k,2) it shows
always a constant value

for all elements which make no sense.



Can you

Hi everyone,

      I just constructed a VUMAT which including 3 state dependent variables ( nstatev =3 ), let say these three state dependent variables each have a initial value of 10, 20 and 30, may I know how to assign these initial values into the simulation or VUMAT?

      So far I follow the manual to assign the initial value via input file with material properties command as below (the line started with "*Initial Conditions" is line 361):

Hi,

I am searching on multiscale simulation of polymer/metal ( mechanical propertices).

Cohesive zone model is used for this porpose.

Is there another models that can use for this issue and using MD data as input?

Best regards,

Hi all,

     I want to set up a critical shear strain - normal stress criterion, in UMAT by prof. Huang. For the strains it is easy to get a critical strain along a slip plane; but for the stresses the notation is quite weird. It is not the same! See below:

C       Array STATEV:

C       3*NSLPTL+1 - 6*NSLPTL  :  current components of normals to slip

Hi iMechanica,

I want to start a discussion on the current status of DEM modelling of granular media. I know that Luding has published many papers in this area. Please add to the current research on granular flow modelling like viscoplasticity, hypoplasticity etc and the  numerical DEM methods.

Hi everyone,

 does anyone know publications dealing with the coupled thermo-structural analysis (direct method) of CFRP using ANSYS?
