Hex Mesh for Crack Propagation
Submitted by meon on Fri, 2008-08-29 02:25.Hope this works.
It's an all hex mesh, I created using a new program called CheetahSTC that's based on the Spatial Twist Continuum.

Energy Software
Submitted by Stefano Galiasso on Wed, 2008-08-27 17:14.I need to evaluate the energy consumption of different types of buildings, so I'm searching for updated and new softwares able to make it at different user-friendly levels, complexity and accuracy, to have a thorough understanding of the matter and offer comparisons.
Indeed I need to find out what should be the best program to make auditing and inspection procedures for a European committe which is going to make regulations on AC systems of certain dimensions and scopes (Harmonac project)
Thank you for your attention.

Submitted by MUHAMMAD YAQUB on Sat, 2008-08-23 10:21.Hi
All I am trying to model reinforced concrete column.I am using concrete damaged placity model.I used truss element for main reinforcement and ties .All main reinforcement and ties are embeded in concrete column.I need the following answer.
1-How ties confine the concrete column.
2-How can I apply the cyclic loading.
Please could you provide me any help in this regard.

Illegal floating point operation
Submitted by gautambalaram on Wed, 2008-08-13 20:49.Can anyone shed some light on this particular error?
ABAQUS Error: The executable /app2/6.6-1/exec/standard.exe
aborted with system error "Illegal floating point operation" (signal 8).
Is there a possible reason for this error as I have gone through my code many times and dont find any suspicious statements that could lead to this error.
This occured when I was running my analysis with a USDFLD and MPC subroutine

i am working on different multiaxial fatigue criteria and i want to plot a contour of my model which shows the variety of criteria like as defined standard stress or strains in ansys after analysing the modl of question.
for example i want to show (Sx+Sy)/2 in all nodes of my model.

Defining Tensile/Compression Strength for Plastics in ABAQUS
Submitted by mizzjoey on Wed, 2008-08-06 04:05.Hi.
This is a simple question about defining material properties of a plastic I guess.
I have a value for tensile & compression strength and have to include this in my model, alongside the modulus & poisson ratio. I use *Elastic for modulus & poisson, but I don't know which card to use for tensile & compression.
Have already checked the manual, but the search 'tensile compression strength' leads me to the Hashin criteria page, which is not suitable for my material.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
jo

DigiMAT: new software for composite material modeling
Submitted by Ali R. khalighi on Mon, 2008-08-04 14:15.I'm working on modeling of mechanical properties of polymer based nanocomposites with clay.I have prepared a code for distributing plat like particles in polimar matrix (preparing RVE) with ABAQUS. I saw DIGIMAT software by www.e-xstream.com Company in internet some times ago. Now I want to test accuracy and application of this software one my project. I want to know if anyone in this club has had worked with this software and so if any one can provide me with a link of academic version of this software for a while.

FEM: Solid Shell element and its limitations
Submitted by jingxu on Fri, 2008-07-25 13:44.I am a mechanical engineer specialised in stress analysis, FEA. I just learned SOLID SHELL type of element last year. The main software I use for my FEA is ANSYS. SOLSH190 is the SOLID SHELL element type in ANSYS. I am not familiar with the mathmatical background of this type of elements. I would really like to know the pros & cons, limitation of SOLID SHELL elements. Or anyone's experience of using SOLSH190 element type in particular.
This is one resource I found:

stepTime vs. totalTime in VUMAT
Submitted by farzad254 on Fri, 2008-07-04 16:46.Hi
I’m trying to develop a VUMat routine so I’ve already
started to learn its features. I recently got this problem that what exactly
the variable stepTime means! I created a model with 3 steps including the initial
step and I coded my routine somehow that when the stepTime is equal to 0 it
prints something into a file. Surprisingly only once in whole analysis the
stepTime would be 0 and that’s exactly at the beginning of the analysis when
totalTime is in fact 0. Could anyone please explain why this happens?
Thanks

How do I run Abaqus 6.7-1 from a DOS Window
Submitted by nitinchandola on Tue, 2008-07-01 16:08.Hi,
I am tyring to learn Abaqus for my reserach work. I was easily able to work with Abaqus CAE. However I am not able to run Abaqus through a DOS window. Also, the tutorials mention commands like 'abaqus fetch' which do not work on the command line when I input them. It always shows an error saying that 'abaqus' is not a internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
Can somebody help me with this? Is there any particular part of the Manual or help section that I can read to find out how to do this?
I have to eventually run a UMAT. This can be done through CAE but I want to know how to do it through written commands.

Fortran 90 library for maximum-entropy basis functions
Submitted by N. Sukumar on Sat, 2008-06-28 05:03.Attached is a tar archive for a Fortran 90 library to compute maximum-entropy basis functions. I have used the G95 compiler. The manual in PDF is also attached and a html version of the same is also available, which provide details on how to install the code and its capabilities. This library was tested by Mike Puso last year, who interfaced it to DYNA3D and NIKE3D codes. Note that I have added a .doc extension to the tar file (can not upload files with .tar extension).

Scilab, Octave or MatLab?, that is the question.........
Submitted by e_garcia on Thu, 2008-06-26 16:37.Scilab (www.scilab.org) software is a tool for numeric analysis and is open source. This software is another option for MatLab and perhaps Octave users. Anybody have used scilab and compared the performance vs. MatLab?

Glued connection in Abaqus
Submitted by dcizmar on Sun, 2008-06-15 06:08.Hello,
I am a new user of Abaqus and need to model a glued connection between 2 solid elements (the nodes on both elements must have same displacement, no relative movement between them). In other software (cosmos/m for instance) this is accomplished by merging these overlapping nodes.
I need to do this in Abaqus, looked in the huge Abaqus documentation, but it is hard to find this for complete beginner. Please help.

Modal analysis on hollow beam
Submitted by Stefano Galiasso on Mon, 2008-06-02 10:28.Good morning, I am studying a cantilever hollow beam both with FEM (Ansys) and MULTYBODY (MSC Adams).
Do anybody knows why I get different mode shapes performing modal analysis with the two codes? (e.g. 3rd mode in Adams is torsional while ansys has not any torsion modes!!)
Thank you very much

Need softwares that can Model Multilayer Thin Film Coatings
Submitted by SudhirBrahmandam on Fri, 2008-05-23 21:06.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,
