Hi all

I have posted two posts before and NO BODY has REPLIED to my questions....

please i need some help with my ABACUS....I have my data and whenever i run my data on ABACUS it says INVALID GEOMETRY...

If any any one knows how to solve this as i have tried searching the web and go through tools---> repairs and still not working...

Thank you

Nina

dear all

I need help in my work i started to work with ABACUS and i suppose to work with shoulder data to review the reverse implant inside this shoulder.

 Pleaseeeeeeeee i need an URGENT help......FROM ANY ONE.

please reply to me on: nl1422 [at] hotmail.com (nl1422[at]hotmail[dot]com)

Hi,

 I want to know what are some useful softwares in which I can simulate multilayer coatings in terms of thermal (CTE mismatch) stresses, and stresses due to contact type loading. I am looking for softwares that are easy to use by a person like me who has an experimental background, does not have exposure to using Abaqus, but can use softwares like Matlab.

 Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Regards,

Sudhir

I would like to simulate the response of a metal to a slow strain rate test. So I need to impose the strain.

It is possible to impose strain with abaqus or can we just apply load?

Thank you

Hello,

 Pardon my basic question.  I need to model a carbon fibre sheet using Abaqus 6.7.  I cannot seem to get the composite layup tool to work properly and I do not know how to define the material properties for carbon fibre.  Are there any good online turorials I can use to do this?  My part will be 8-ply, 125mm square, ~1mm thinck.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Tyler
