Please help me about Abaqus

Submitted by meisamg on

Hello sir\Mis

I have a problem about taking an out put from abaqus. I have modelled a Steel Bar in abaqus that is loaded by axial pressure in the both of end and different rotational  moment in the both end of the bar How I can determin Maximum angle of rotation in bar or value of rotation in both end of Bar , thanks very much ... 

Your preferences in scientific/engineering/numerical programming

Submitted by Epyon on

Hello everyone,

I am working on a project related to helping the everyday researcher do his/her programming easier and faster.

I have done a fair amount of research work at OSU and have gotten a feel for the way they program on a daily basis, but realize that it could be and probably is drastically different on different parts of the planet. As such, I am here to ask the following questions (really, any opinion helps, so feel free to respond with whatever you want):

Novacam 3D Profilometer Software

The Novacam three dimensional software programs are used with all Novacam Profliometers. The program permits the consumer to define how big the region, or line to be measured, along with the lateral resolution from the measurement.

Novacam's high end Data Acquisition Profilometer Software programs are incorporated with all of MicroCam non-contact profilometers.

how to calcualte total reaction force in a plane in ABAQUS

Dear all,

This is my first post in iMechanica forum.

I am trying to some simulation of cantilever beam bending in abaqus. Since the aspect ratio is pretty low (height/diameter~=2), I use 3D solid element instead of 2D beam element to construct the beam. I set the deflection at the free-end as the boundary condition, and try to solve the reaction force (perpendicular to the beam longitudinal axis). But I get in trouble to calculate the total reaction force at the free-end.

VABS 3.6 Reduces Realistic Composite Blade Modeling to Seconds

Submitted by allanwood on

AnalySwift, LLC, a leading provider of efficient high-fidelity modeling software for aerospace and energy composites and other advanced materials, announced today the release of VABS 3.6. This is the latest version of VABS, which is the tool of choice for efficient and accurate modeling of composite slender structures such as wind turbine blades, helicopter rotor blades, high aspect ratio wings, composite bridges, and other slender structural components.
