Submitted by Markus J. Buehler on

MIT invites top early career women in Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) and related domains (e.g. mechanics, materials, environmental and earth science) who are interested in careers in academia to apply to attend this new innovative workshop to be held on the MIT campus.

Thermal stresses Abaqus

Submitted by multi_scaler on

Hi all,

I have a  20 node hexahedral "Thermomechanical" element in our inhouse software which i am trying to validate against Abaqus .

The problem is, the displacements, nodal forces match exactly ( Just compared the max min values in the legends! and checked a few random nodes).

The Abaqus input file is attached:

The problem is as follows:

One single element is chosen with a linear elastic material model (Some parameters are chosen in an unphysical manner but here the idea is

to just validate the implementation):

running job in abaqus with user subroutine

Submitted by miladbabaei on

Hello evryone,

Im trying to implement subroutine umat and run a job.but im getting this error through  abaqus cae and cmd (attached file),was wondering if anyone could help me out?im using abaqus 6.10 -VS2008-IVF 11 AND successfully run some examples from abaqus verification.i also can send my fortran file ( .for) and input abaqus file for more clarification if you require.
 
any help really apreciated.

 

configure abaqus 6.13.2 in windows7 to run user subroutines

Submitted by arsha_0o on

Hi everybody,

I am trying to run a UVMAT subroutine in abaqus 6.13.2

I installed Intel fortran composer XE (2011.1.127) and Visual Studio 2008. I changed the passes for abaqus command and abaqus cae.

At the end when I want to verify my installation, the verification for Abaqus/Standard with using subroutine passes, but for Abaqus/Explicit with using subroutine gives me an error. This is a runtime error (R6034) and it is about the microsoft visual c++ runtime library.

Do you have any idea about this error?

Thanks a lot

Overhead Electrical Conductor fatigue testing: a new standard

Submitted by Alain Cardou on

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) just released a new international standard titled: "Overhead lines - Method for fatigue testing of conductors". IEC 62568. Edition 1.0 2015-07. www.iec.ch . It closely follows previous CIGRE and EPRI publications on this topic:
