I am workingon a model in which i have a soft layer of material bonded between to rigidlayers of material via cohesive elements following a linear separation-tractionlaw based on a critical fracture energy value I determined from experimentaland numerical work. I have the interlayer and cohesive elements as one partwith a partitioned face and connected to the two adherends viasurface-to-surface ties. I have found that my model runs successfully only ifthe soft interlayer material is made very stiff.

Natural Frequency Extraction in conjunction with UMAT in ABAQUS
Hi,
We are using the user subroutine UMAT in ABAQUS for varying the material properties in a thin plate. For any static analysis this subroutine is working perfectly fine. However, while using UMAT during natural frequency extraction, ABAQUS is not completing the analysis and is giving a very vague following error message in the log file:
Finite Element Modeling On Polymer Nanocomposite with Clay Nanofiller
I'm doing Mtech project on Finite Element Modeling On Polymer Nanocomposite with Clay Nanofiller. For that am using ABAQUS software, so i need some information regarding that ABAQUS software, how to do finite element modeling of nanocomposites with nanofiller and How to prepare a code distrubution in the plate like particales in the polymer matrix with ABAQUS software. So please can any give information.
