about the multiscale aggregating method (MAD) of Prof. Belytschko

Submitted by phunguyen on

Hello all

I have spent a large amount of time trying to undertstand the multiscale aggregating method (MAD) of Prof. Belytschko. Unfortunately, I still can not compltely understand the method. 

If there is anyone here in the forum already gets clear about the method, please help me.

Can a UMAT be reseased as Open Source (GPL) ?

Submitted by Louis P. Gauthier on

(Question tranfered from previous blog post)

Dear iMechanica members,

Can ABAQUS or other commercial software's user material be reseased as open source code? GPL for example? If so, whith the multiple licenses proposed, which one would be most
suited for releasing vumat source code. The intent is simply to make
this vumat available to as many people as possible without anyone
taking undue ownership of the material law. Also, would there be any concerns about publications or articles concerning said material law once the source code is public?

Modeling of viscoelastic material in ANSYS

Submitted by Rabindra K. Patel on

Any one can tell about the modelling of viscoelastic materials in ANSYS. In the modeeling how material properties can be given. Like I have material data in the form of Prony series parameter. If sone is having relaxation data how can that be fed to ANSYS model?
