Report generation in Abaqus with Mode shapes

Submitted by KolluruK on
Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica

Hi,

I am performing natural frequency analysis on a cylindrical structure in Abaqus. I am extracting about 80 modes (considering the presence of symmetrical modes). I want to generate a report with all the mode shape patterns and corresponding frequencies listed. Is there any way to do this automatically? Taking Prnt Scrn and generating word document is consuming lot of time and also I have multiple model combinations to do such analysis.

Thank you in advance.

SIF,COD and Critical Flaw size for a pressured pipe with axial and circumferential crack in ABAQUS

Hello All,

I'm new user in ABAQUS and I want to simulate and verify a critical crack-size in a pressurized pipe with axial and circumferential crack. Also, an important aspect, the crack is through-wall thickness. So, I'm faced with some doubts about its implementation in ABAQUS as following:

1 - Can I model the through-wall crack with shell ements based on line-spring (element LS3S)?

Abaqus - tank modelling

Submitted by matteo.tavano on

Good morning,

I'm dealing with the model of a tank and I'm using the finite element software Abaqus. Unfortunately, I'm totally new to this program and so I have the following very trivial problem: I've to model a tank with two different thicknesses, 30mm in the bottom part and 15 mm in the top part. How can I do that?

I've to create the 2 different parts separately and then put them together in the assembly? In this case, how can I manage the interaction between the two parts?

Or there is another method (for example using the discrete field tool)? Which is the most efficient method?

Thanks in advance

Free FEM-pack development for everybody

Submitted by r.pochinkov on

Dear All! If it will be interesting
for you please look at my FEM-pack FASTRAN. This software was developed for
dynamic analysis of the thin-walled shell-type structures and includes:
preprocessor (only for view early-developed FEM-models), processor (fast sparse
solver) and postprocessor (for view calculation results). Your opinion will be
very interesting for me.

Modeling fatigue crack growth in abaqus using xfem

Submitted by m.kesh on

Hi

Dear all,

I am new to abaqus and I have to model a fatigue crack growth using xfem.

I have searched for a tutorial for that and I could not find anything useful. 

Does anybody know where can I find the tutorial or smth helpful?

tnx in advance,

 

dynamic analysis of dam-reservoir interaction

Submitted by a.salajegheh on

Hi all

I am working on sesmic analysis of dam-reservoir interaction and I used ADINA software to analysis the coupled system. I have used potential based fluid elements to define fluid medium. but the coupled dynamic model does not provide the correct answers. I would appricciate if any of you introduce me some one who is familiar with dynamic reservoir-structure modeling in ADINA.

 

best regards

ABAQUS 6.11

Submitted by rezaii141 on

Dera All

 I have a question about ABAQUS 6.11 version!

I heard that this version can use of "VGA card CPU" For solving  the problems andcomputational time decrease very much in this manner...

This  topic is correct????
