Automatic Element removal

Submitted by manoochehr on Mon, 03/16/2009 - 01:38

Hi everone,

The new version of ABAQUS/CAE 6.8 seem to have capability of automatic failed element removal. Does any body has any experience about this new feature in ABAQUS.

cheers,

Assigning two material behavioour to a beam

Submitted by manoochehr on Sun, 03/15/2009 - 23:52

Hi Everyone,

I am quite new to this blog, and I enjoy of studying your comments. I have a problem in ABAQUS/CAE. I am trying to model a wood beam that has two beahviour in tension and compression. Elasto-Plastic behaviour in tension and in compression Elsto-Brittle behaviour. Is there any way to model this material in ABAQUS. My problem mainly comes back to this case that we can not assign to a beam two materail behaviour simultanously.

Thank you for your reply.

research

I would like to know whether any works have been done in EFGM which suggest the best points in the domain where the stresses have to be computed, like in FEM we do have Gauss points which give minimum error for secondary variables. So can any one please suggest some references in this regard?

Finite Deformation: Special Cases

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on Sat, 03/14/2009 - 23:28

The notes on finite deformation have been divided into two parts: special cases and general theory (node/538). In class I start with special cases, and then sketch the general theory. But the two parts can be read in any order.

Abaqus embedded truss problem

Submitted by hmousad on Sat, 03/14/2009 - 20:16

Hello,

I'm trying to model a hollow pipe that have inside a 3D truss element. I've embedded the truss upper part in that cube shown in the picture attached.

The problem is when I apply lateral force what happens is that the bar just don't follow the pipe in its motion. The last mesh element in the embedded part isn't attached anymore to the upper cube.
