Submitted by Simpleware on

Simpleware Ltd., the world leader in image-based meshing software, has signed a reseller agreement with Vangest Group, a provider of most advanced solutions in project, development and manufacturing.

Simpleware develops world-leading mesh generation software for the conversion of 3D scan data into high-quality computational models for FEA, CFD, CAD and Rapid Prototyping. Unlike other approaches, Simpleware provides complete software solutions from importing 3D images through to direct export to commercial FEA and CFD solvers including: ABAQUS, ANSYS, COMSOL, FLUENT, MSC, etc.

LsDyna - How to use Strain rate and temperature dependant Flow Stress data in tabular form?

Submitted by utpalborah on

Dear friends,

 I am new to this this forum. I salute the founders, administrators and content providers of imechanica for putting up such a useful forum. I work on finite element anaylsis of large deformation and contact problems, in particular metal forming and tribology.

Using LSDYNA to model Fluid Structure Interaction

Hi all

I want to use LSDYNA to model a detonation process involving fluid structure interaction. A solid structure is embeded in a viscous fluid media. Due to symmetry of the model, a quarter of the model is analysed. So my question is 

1) How to model the symmetric condition in the Euler element domain? since the Euler meshes is fixed, it seems applying constraint on the nodes in the symmetric plane is meaningless.

2) How to model the infinite boudanry condition in the free surface of the fluid Euler domain?

Thanks

use ABAQUS/CAE in Laser Forming

Submitted by ttamsaout on

Hi,

 I am a new user here, and I have two problems to use ABAQUS/CAE,

the first problem, I need some tutorials or helps to simulate a coupled temperature-displacement in ABAQUS/CAE !!

 the second is the major problem, my project is in Laser Forming and I want use ABAQUS/CAE in this domain?

thank you in advance for your assistance

 

Superplastic Forming (SPF) analysis with Abaqus

Submitted by phamhuytuan on

Hello world!

I’ve been working with SPF analysis
recently. I followed the Abaqus example to solve my problem. But the result for
my pressure cycle isn’t as expected. It should have increased step by step from
the initial stage as in the real process. If it is possible, I will thank any
suggestions from whom related to this kind of simulation.

OOF

Submitted by SudhirBrahmandam on

I recently came across this free software - OOF2 on the nist website: http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/oof/oof2/index.html I was basically looking for analyzing the effect of microstructure on the stresses in coatings, and a friend of mine mentioned this software. Since it works only on Unix or Linux (and Mac) I have not been able to install it on my PC...Have a Mac on which i will try it out soon. Will post my experience when I start using it. In the meantime wanted to know what kind of problems others tackle using this software.
