Hello everyone

I model a reinforced concrete column in ansys .

after loading the model three types of crack will exist in it . ( First Crack,Second crack,Third Crack)

I want to know what difference between those .

is differences between those due to time of their existance or for other reasons  ?

If diffrence due to time of their existance , what criteria for time is considered ?

CosmosWorks or other simulation software?

I was wondering whether CosmosWorks could help me solve this ( node/5016 ) ?

I prefer to stay with SolidWorks because I already use it for 3D modeling so I guess it will be easier to learn,

but if necessary I would also consider software like Simulink.

What do you recommend?



Thanks in advance!

Abaqus SE problem

Submitted by Richard Kutcher on

Just attended a FEMA introduction course put on by my provincial engineering assoc.  We all received a copy of Abaqus Student Edition.

When I install the program on my Toshiba Windows Vista laptop the installation completes but when I start the program and try to draw a part instead of getting a blue grid I get a second white drawing sheet overlaying the first.I have tried numerous installs and have all the latest Vista upgrades.  My copy of the DVD is good because the program works on my desktop computer.
