non-linear material

Dear all

I would like to model two non-linear material as shown in the pictures in ABAQUS. But I can model it with its non-linearities. The model has been created with beam element. I used the classical elastic-plastic model using calibrations but because of elastic non-linearities the calculated plastic strain comes negative. please help me howI can model it

Nodal force

Hi,

What is the difference between the nodal force (NFORC) and Reaction force in abaqus. I applied some displacement in my model, when checking the Reaction and Nodal force at the same node, Nodal force is just half the reaction force. Then I did some experiment and applied some load on a node, after solution when i check the nodal force on the same node, it is half of the applied load. Why is it not  same as the load I applied? I am confused. Please help me.

 Thanks,

Anshul

ABAQUS

Hi,

I have to perform thermomechanical analysis of turning process in ABAQUS as a part of my project.

Is there any documentation or tutorials available for it?

Kindly provide me with links if it is available.

Thanking in advance.

PFC 2D for discrete element modelling

Submitted by sadrish11 on
software

Dear all,

I have just started using PFC 2D. I want to generate stress/strain curve for a compaction test (oedometer test). I have designed the walls and the balls as particles. I have problem assigning the velocity of upper y-wall that will be used for compression and obtaining the stress/strain relationship as a graph. 

Please help.

Thanks

About beam element in abaqus and ansys

Beam Element
yielding surface

I am interested in using beam element to do a nonlinear static analysis (may need to a dynamic analysis in the future), but have trouble to understand some of the key features of beam element in abaqus or ansys. My goal is to find a beam element (preferably general beam section) with a defined stress resultant yield surface (e.g., P-M-M yield surface). If possible, could also account warping degree of freedom.

UMAT subroutine

Submitted by s_gupta on
software

Hey guys,      

               I'm new to using subroutines. I have installed the Intel Fortram Complier v10.1 and using it for running the subroutine UMAT. I am first testing the umat subroutine for Isotropic elasticity as given in the abaqus manual for a single element with one integration point, but I'm facing the following error:

Unexpected error 193

FEA Software that simulate lubricated contact using Reynolds equation

Submitted by mimo72 on
software

Hello,

 

I am working in lubricated contacts and I want to know if it is possible to simulate that on ABAQUS software using Reynolds equation. If possible how can it be done ?

If it is not possible, there is another software that can simulate this kind on contacts ? 

Thanks for the help.
