Foundation on soil - ABAQUS

Submitted by Ehsanizadi_civil on

Hi there,

 Recently I have modelled a 2D block of soil, at the first step of analysis the soil block subjected to a gravitational load (Gravity) and gravitational stresses generated in the soil block, at the second step, a little rectangular part of soil block removed and currently a concrete block with same size of removed soil embedded on the soil block. this concrete block to be subjected a surface loading.

Abaqus error: code 5

Submitted by Hardik.M.Singh on

Hi all,

I am trying to run a VUMAT subroutine for isotropic hardeining, whenever I input the command "abaqus j=inp_name user=subroutine_name " the analysis begins, the ODB file is generated but in few secs the analysis exits with an error, and the error is..

Abaqus Error: The executable C:\ABAQUS\6.7-1\exec\explicit.exe

aborted with system error code 5.

It also says...

stepTime VS. totalTime

Submitted by mmoriche on

Hello everyone,

 I have a problem with one user subroutine.

The fact is that, debugging the subroutine I see the totaltime different from the steptime. I am using just one step and the .inp implementation is veryfied with a different user subroutine, so totaltime and steptime should be exactly the same (but they are not...)

 

The value of the total time is around 1e-8 and the value of the steptime is around 1e-55.

 

Could anyone give me a clue?

 

Thanks in advance.

Question on Abaqus Mohr-Coulomb hardening definition

Submitted by chenglejin on

Hi Expert,

 I'm a newer of Abaqus. I was trying to compute a simple compression problem using Mohr-Coulomb model. I found the slope of stress-strain curve from the results is double of that defined in the input file. I don't know what's cause it or my understand of the slope is wrong.

Only one 8 node C3D8 element is involved. To simplify the question, let the friction angle be 0, it reduces to a Tresca model actually. The material is defined as:

Question about specific boundary condition in Fluent

Submitted by Mu.Hesan on

Dear Friends

Does anybody know how can I add following boundary condition in Fluent software for outlet of an internal flow ? Is there any easy way without needing UDF or etc.

Where p is pressure, Re is Reynolds number and vn is the velocoty component normal to the outlet section.

Modal Analysis in Ansys to get natural frequencies and compare them with theory results

Submitted by pietro maisto on

Hi, I'm Pietro, a short term Italian incoming student at VT (virginia tech).

My advisor, in order to start my thesis there about skin friction coefficients in a scramjet combustion chamber, gave me a Modal analysis to do on a gage described as follow:

a cantilever beam  (1mm diameter and 3cm long cylindrical shape) with 1mm depth and 1cm diameter cylindrical flat "hat" attached upon.

Base constraints: zero displacements, zero rotation
