FEAP UEL - Infinite Displacements?

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 
Free Tags: 

Hi all,
I am stuck with a problem while starting to learn programming UEL in FEAP.

As a starting point, I programmed Isotropic Linear Elastic element (3D 8 node linear interpolation/shape functions), with one-point integration.
Before running this UEL, I wrote a simple 8 element input file and used FEAP standard Solid element (ELAStic, ISOtropic), the results for this input file were nice.
However when I ran the analysis for this input file with my UEL (USER 04), the displacements were unbelievable (x10^16).

SIF Accuracy - Abaqus XFEM

Hello,

 I understand from word of mouth, as well as an extensive study/Master'sThesis (http://publications.lib.chalmers.se/records/fulltext/164269.pdf), that Abaqus XFEM formulation works, but that processing of results to obtain reported SIF (KI, KII, KIII, not sure about J, others) are in error due to apparent bugs in Abaqus's algorithm to calculate the SIFs.

vumat problem

Hi

my problem is to define initial value for solution dependent state varibales in Vumat.when I define them in .log file the same as help,it doesn,t work and the error is your'e defining initial condition for element zero while this elemet doesn,exist.what can I do for solving this prolem.

thanks alot

Run Abaqus examples

Hello
I have an easy question!
How I could use abaqus Examples? Because its examples are in the text format, how I could recall them in abaquse and run? like .inp files.
Thanks

Moving Force

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hi friends

I want to define a moving force with a special velocity in Abaqus, like a train force on a bridge.

Is it available in Abaqus ? If yes how I could define it?

Thanks

UMAT

Pordon me if i couldn't reach my intention correctly. 

You know that I have the functional dependence. For every elastic plastic property I have its termal function.

for example:

E=E(T), NU=NU(T), Syield=Syield(T).

But my question is that is it correct to define:

T=temp 

and then

write Those function as props 

Props(1)=E(T), etc.

or I ought to dedine the properties at several temprature separately and then define the strains and stresses respectively??

for example:

at T=T0

UMAT

Dear ALL

I have this PDF and I have some information at this coding but have not information about the temprature dependent material properties.

what can I do??

sorry for that

For example see this function:

E(T)=E0*T^2+A*T+ ....

What can I define this type of Function?? 

Is my statement true? Can I do alike nonisotermal behaviour of the material???

 Please help me 

 Thanks so much

porous solid modeling in abaqus

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hello every 1

I must model porous materials in abaqus!!but really i am confused how to create these complex shapes :p:p:p

voids in my models are not arranged but i thinks that i have to model them regular,how ever i need to simulate an configure like bone structure(specially that some wheres in model have more voids or less some thing like bone)

by the way my models are 3D and thickness of trabeculae|(pores wall) in configure is not constant(just like bone!!):cool:

thanksto all:)

fe-safe

I'm using Abaqus in analysis of random vibration fatigue. I linked abaqus with fe-safe to calculate the fatigue life. Fe-safe didn't recognize the random load comming from Abaqus correctly, althghou it already recognize the cyclic(normal) load crrectly in one of the tutorial's attached example.

Do any body know how to solve this issue? 

ABAQUS VUMAT

Dear All

I have writed a elastoplastic VUMAT to analyse a model in abaqus explisit code but after the analysis was finished, i can not observe the plastic strain conutors in it, in the onther word there is not PE option at odb field output. I rewuest you to give a favor to me. I am confused

thanks 

Error

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hi friends
I have two errors in my simulating ,with this massage:

2 nodes are missing degree of freedoms. The MPC/Equation/kinematic coupling constraints can not be formed. The nodes have been identified in node set ErrNodeMissingDofConstrDef.

Analysis Input File Processor exited with an error.

I checked all constraints in those two nodes, and I am sure that I created these constraints like others, but I cannot understand what is the problem?
Also there is a warning:

constraint

Hello freinds 

I am simulating a bridge with beam elements, here i should put a beam on the other one with out any conection

now how I could creat this kind of constraint ?

Thanks alot

Technology Brief: Optimization of Turbine Blade Dovetail Geometries Using Abaqus and Isight

The reliability of a gas or steam turbine is strongly
dependent on the blade structural design. 
Turbine blades are subjected
to very strenuous environments such as high temperatures, high stresses, and a
potentially high vibration environment. To avoid blade failures, they must be
designed to withstand these conditions. 

abaqus simulation

Dear all, I want to simulate forming process with abaqus, and extract the modal frequencies of the formed model. I mean two steps in a single model.  Is it feasible? Many thanks for your discussion and help.

viscoelastic modeling in ansys

i simulted impact on ceramic plate but after the impact the element of
ceramic didnot erod. i use element deletation=yes, any body know what
should i do?

thanks

Digital imagine correlation DIC: resolution

Hi everybody,

i tried to use the free opticist moire software for DIC. Big thanks to the developers for the work

done.

 So far i did not get the results i was expecting, but i think it is due to my camera / experiment

setup. I want to get the strain field in a traditional tensile test of a coupon using a universal test machine

(instron). The coupon is painted with a black-white speckle pattern. The camera lens does not allow
