Ansys - Concrete nonlinear beam

Submitted by Guillaume Gondre on

Hello,

I have to model with the Ansys software a beam in concrete material. It must be non linear.

In materials properties, I can choose Materials models - Structural - nonlinear - inelastic - non metal plasticity - concrete.

I put the Elastic Modulus, the Poisson´ratio, the uniaxial cracking stress and the uniaxial crushing stress. But I don´t know how I can enter the values of the strain at fc (compressive cylinder strength) and the value of the fracture energy.

ABAQUS/CAE plots values with discontinuous edges/nodes

The plot is showing a value typically obtained at the integrations points (in this case a single integration point).

Normally you would make a plot like this by taking the mean value of the surrounding elements to each node, then making a interpolated plot like this. However, it is obvious this is not the case around the red node, as it has several different values in the same node.

Abaqus CAE

Submitted by hadi on

I intend to create a
composite model, containing a cylindrical fiber surrounded by a cube, by Abaqus CAE v 6.7-1. I create
two separet parts, one for the cube and the other one for the cylinder. Then, I
cut the cube by the fiber; the third part (lets say the cut part) is created
automatically. Now, I need to mesh the parts and merge them. 

Loading X, Y, and strain data from multiple files in Tecplot 360

Submitted by S U Khan on

Dear All

 

I am using tecplot to visualize my data. Now I came across a problem as I have three files (created using Matlab). Each file is having a big matrix having data. One file is having X coordiates, second one is having Y coordinates and third one is having the strain data of these two coordinates. I like to import and plot contour using this data. It will be nice if some one can guide me in this matter.

 

Regards

Hello all friends here:

      I want to ask a question:

"How to deactivate solidworks2008 license in one PC and then transfer to another PC? Are there any instruction I could follow?"

      If some friends know how to do this, could you please do me a favor?

      Highly appreciate.

Regards.

hi every body

nice to meet all of u

i am a metallurgical engineering. and recently i am trying welding residual stress simulation using abaqus .

i
have some problem .i think i should set a thermal history for the material
witch is welded in simulation. i want to know how can i set a temperature
dependant properties like tensile stress or  yield stress and ...

Compiling and Building TAUCS a library of sparse linear solvers

Submitted by Alejandro Orti… on

I would like to share the following information to all the iMechanica users interested in using TAUCS a library of sparse linear solvers. TAUCS is among the most used libraries of sparse linear solvers and, to my knowledge, its closest equivalent library is SuperLU. For your reference, TAUCS is used in the commercial software Mathematica by Wolfram Research. Its source code can be downloaded from

Regarding ABAQUS installation

Submitted by vcvikas on

Can any body help me regarding abaqus v6.7-3 installation. I am facing problem while installing the abaqus product. It asks license server 1. As I enter there 27000@host ID a massage comes that

"there was a problem constructing the value for the abaquslm_license_file parameter to be entered in to your abaqus_v6.env file. Please enter the value for this variable exactly as it should apear in the environment file"

Plz help me regarding this problem
