Hi all,

 i need help in doing simulation for a  water pipe  with an internal pressure is applied on it and there is a semieleptical crack in the wall of pipe.

how can i get the pressure which causes the failure of pipe?

how can i get th nominal stress in the pipe?

thank you

mesh dependence of continuum damage mechanics approach

Submitted by setareh on

Hello Everyone,

I am a beginner in FEA of composites under impact in commercial explicit code Pam Crash.I want to know why the behaviour of composite plies with CDM approach show mesh dependency?Or a more general question for me is that what makes the FE simulation of a material with strain softening behavior mesh dependence(If this conclusion is right)? Does it make any difference with regard to mesh dependency if one uses implicit codes??

Thanks

Import geometry into Abaqus

Submitted by Panos Efthymiadis on

Hi all,

             I would like to ask how is it possible to import  a sketch or a part into Abaqus without using any other software needed, like CATIA, PARASOLID etc... Currently I am using Matlab to create my geometry. What I obtain is my exact geometry in terms of points given by x,y and z coordinates in txt format or inp format. But still struggle to import my geometry into Abaqus. Any help, more than welcome...

Best regards,

              Panos
