Simulation of surfaces interaction in 2d model in Abaqus

Submitted by Anthos on

Dear Subscribers 

I am a new abacus user and I am trying to simulate the interaction between two

the surfaces of 2 different parts and materials. Does anybody knows how can I proceed 

in this simulation procedure. With pleasure any answer will be helpful from my work.

Thank you in advance

Remarks on UMAT for plane stress problem

Submitted by Pu Zhang on

There are a lot of sample UMAT subroutines for plane strain or 3D problems. However, it is difficult to find an example for the plane stress problem online. Even the UMAT manual does not provide enough information. I have tried the UMAT subroutine for the plane stress problem for a while. The following remarks may be useful for collegues who have interest.

1. The stress components σ11, σ22, σ12 should be returned to UMAT.  The other three stress components equal to zero, known as the basic assumption of the plane stress problem.

how can i model a BRB Brace in abaqus

Submitted by mohammadi11 on

hi every body


I model a brb(Buckling restrained brace) in Abaqus but my question is How to put concrete in a brb or How do I define the concrete inside the brb that work together? i use tie constraint But there isn't any stress for concrete! 
i use static,General for analysis! is it correct?

Simpleware Webinar: 3D Image-Based Solutions for the Automotive Industry, Apr 6 2016

Submitted by Simpleware on

Simpleware software is used for a wide range of automotive applications and workflows, where 3D image data (from CT, micro-CT…) can be used for virtual exploration of components. Scanning automotive material samples such as composites, plastics, rubbers and ceramics enables non-destructive testing and export for realistic simulation. Applications include component analysis, reverse engineering of legacy parts, materials characterisation and simulation.

Troubles with ABAQUS subroutine compiler after update of Visual Studio 2015

Submitted by nshen on

I always use "Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0" and "Intel\Composer XE 2011 SP1" to apply all the user subroutines.

Recently, the university administrator updated the Visual Studio to 2105 (14.0) on my lab computer. 

When I tried to run an OLD simulation which WORKED perfectly before, it returned me the error message below:
