A FE code with large deformation contact capability and large elasto plastic analysis in Henky strain

Submitted by aslan mohammadpour on

Hi every one...



I finished my master in mechanical engineearing about eight month ago ... and in my Master career, I wrote a Fortran Finte element code with capabality of  mortar cantact analysis[1,2] and rate independent plasticity with kinematic and isotropic hardening and with large deformation capabilty for isotropic materials[3,4]. My code converges very well and I achieved quadratic convergence and I didn't use any comercial Fe packages like ansys and abaqus .....

element coordinate system orientation after nonlinear static structural solution

Submitted by afallah on

Hi. I'm working on multiscale modeling of soft tissues. I'm working
on modeling an orthotropic wavy fiber in WB. I write an APDL routine to
change the element coordinate system of each element with accordance to
the fiber curvature. Ansys documentation said that in the case of large
deflection analysis, the element coordinate system will be rotated with
accordance to element rigid body rotation. My problem is that, after the
solution, the elements coordinate system of some elements rotate
more/less than the rigid body rotation of the elements and fiber

Introduction of the hyperfoam model in ABAQUS

Submitted by Attila Kossa on

Dear Researchers,

 

I am trying to find out which was the first ABAQUS version, wchich includes the hyperfoam material model. I haven't found any version history about this. Could someone tell me the very first version of ABAQUS in which the hyperfoam model was included?

 

Thank You!

Kind Regards,

Measure Curved Edge length in ABAQUS CAE

Submitted by sidk1984 on

Greetings all,

i want to know, is there any way to measure edge length ( "curves" specifically,  not looking for straight edge length  using distance between vertices as query feature :) ), and also to get vertices co-ordinates in  local co-ordinate system; in ABAQUS CAE or using python scripting.

my problem is somehow related to above query,  can manage solution with 'other' tricks, but want to know any standard methods are avaliable.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

siddhesh
