Hi, I am using Abaqus.
Need to model simple beam-column connection (with beam elements). Connection should allow rotation but not translation. I am new to Abaqus so please help.
Tried connector section, defined it, but I dont know how to use/apply it.
Hi all .. What are the advantages of XFEM over std FEM other than remeshing ?
Because when ever XFEM is introduced only remeshing alone is highlighted ... Can the experts from this field please list out the other advantages?
All above are in context to Fracture.
thanks in advance.
I am creating a mesh for a composite material using Fortran by assigning two different material markers for the data. I am able to see the output in tecplot but i would like to set two different colors for the two materials such that i can see the same in tecplot. As of now, i can see just one color for the whole mesh and i cant differentiate where the second material is distributed. Please suggest on how i can see the tecplot with different colors for the two different materials i have used in my .dat file. I am new into using all this so i need the advise. please suggest.

Hi all,
I am krishna working on FE knee joint modeling in ABAQUS. I am beginner to Abaqus
As i have read from the journal papers, I understood that cartilage and meniscus are poroelastic (porous medium).
My axisymmetric model consists of following.
1. Cartilage is modelled with CAX4PH (axisymmetric pore pressure elements)
2. Meniscus is also with the same elements
3.Tibial bone with CAX4 elements.
Since
contact beween two deformable bodies create computational difficulties,

Abstract:
I have no mechanics background so be gentle. Looking for advice on how to approach this problem:
I have a long, slender, straight beam that is then bent into a curve using wire rope as a tension element between either end. Very similar to an archery bow.
Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to call UMAT through the abaqus command. I have a local abaqus licence. How do I get into the command window to type in the commands? I have installed fortran. I am trying to run one of the examples in the manual which gives me the .inp file and .f file. I went through a number of forums and the manual which tells me to use compile_fortran and abaqus make commands. Can someone guide me through the procedure? I am using version 6.7-5.
Thank you
Hi all,
How to perform post-buckling analysis using ABAQUS correctly?
I have obtained an eigenvalue from a linear analysis using BUCKLE command. The shape from mode 1 is good (tally with the physical experiment).
However, the result from the post-buckling analysis (using IMPERFECTION command and RIKS analysis) has not produced the buckling shape like the mode 1 from the linear analysis.
If you all have any suggestion, please share it with me. Greatly need it.
Thanks,
Wanbot
