MODELLING OF RCC COLUMN AND APPLICATION OF CYCLIC LOADING

Submitted by MUHAMMAD YAQUB on

Hi

All I am trying to model reinforced concrete column.I am using concrete damaged placity model.I used truss element for main reinforcement and ties .All main reinforcement and ties are embeded in concrete column.I need the following answer.

1-How ties confine the concrete column.

2-How can I apply the cyclic loading.

Please could you provide me any help in this regard.

Illegal floating point operation

Submitted by gautambalaram on

Can anyone shed some light on this particular error?

ABAQUS Error: The executable /app2/6.6-1/exec/standard.exe

aborted with system error "Illegal floating point operation" (signal 8).

Is there a possible reason for this error as I have gone through my code many times and dont find any suspicious statements that could lead to this error.  

This occured when I was running my analysis with a USDFLD and MPC subroutine

Defining Tensile/Compression Strength for Plastics in ABAQUS

Submitted by braaains on
Hi.



This is a simple question about defining material properties of a plastic I guess.



I have a value for tensile & compression strength and have to include this in my model, alongside the modulus & poisson ratio. I use *Elastic for modulus & poisson, but I don't know which card to use for tensile & compression.



Have already checked the manual, but the search 'tensile compression strength' leads me to the Hashin criteria page, which is not suitable for my material.



Can anyone help?

DigiMAT: new software for composite material modeling

Submitted by Ali R. khalighi on

I'm working on modeling of mechanical properties of polymer based nanocomposites with clay.I have prepared a code for distributing plat like particles in polimar matrix (preparing RVE) with ABAQUS. I saw DIGIMAT software by www.e-xstream.com Company in internet some times ago. Now I want to test accuracy and application of this software one my project. I want to know if anyone in this club has had worked with this software and so if any one can provide me with a link of academic version of this software for a while.

stepTime vs. totalTime in VUMAT

Submitted by fred254 on

Hi

I’m trying to develop a VUMat routine so I’ve already
started to learn its features. I recently got this problem that what exactly
the variable stepTime means! I created a model with 3 steps including the initial
step and I coded my routine somehow that when the stepTime is equal to 0 it
prints something into a file. Surprisingly only once in whole analysis the
stepTime would be 0 and that’s exactly at the beginning of the analysis when
totalTime is in fact 0. Could anyone please explain why this happens?

 

Thanks
