DLOAD subroutine

Submitted by cgouder on

Dear friends .

                   This is the first time i am using abaqus for analysis. I am doing a moving load analysis of a bridge .I have planned to apply a  distributed load and vary the profile using DLOAD . Do you think its a good idea ?. Can anybody send me an example file of DLOAD.

Thanks and Regards

Simulate moving laser beam on a plate in ANSYS

Submitted by daltoy3 on

Hi everyone!

I've been trying ansys for a few weeks but in vain. I'm trying to inject a heat source(laser) on a 2D rect plate. I'm not sure on the corrct way to add the boundary conditions. This is what I do:

1. assuming room temp so i added 298K to the bottom, left and right using define loads >add_temp>lines

2.next i inject a heat source say 1000K using define loads>add_temp_on nodes to a few surface center nodes (meaning the top surface still have undefine boundary conditions)  

Piezoelectric bimorph cantilever using ANSYS software

Submitted by salem on

I'm using Ansys 12 for modeling and simulation. can you help me that, how I can enter data loads as boundary conditions for a piezoelectric cantilever beam?

thank you for your assistance. 

modeling cohesive element

Submitted by sandra on

hello,

 i am modelling a concrete beam with FRP bonded to beam with the adhesive. i hav tried to simulate adhesive using cohesive element Abaqus(from manual) for the past 2 months, but am getting missing  property definition for those elements.I am not sure the procedure I hav followed is correct, so please send me the procedure for modelling cohesive element and the contact between the adherent faces.

waiting for the  reply

There exist some software/codes for atomistic/continuum coupling multiscale materials modeling methods (in alphabetical order):

1. AtC, atomistic-to-continuum coupling, included in LAMMPS

2. BDM, bridging domain method, included in LibMultiScale

3. MMM, multiresolution multiscale mechanics method

Crack Analyze Using Analysis Based On API 579 Crack Like Flaws

Submitted by erlangga ibrahim on

I'm doing final project in the area for Crack Like Flaws based API 579.  I'm having trouble with level 3 Assessment Procedure and should using ANSYS to solve problem.  Is there anyone who have complete step by step procedure in Crack analysis using ANSYS based API 579 for level 3 ?
