PLEASE HELP! - Foundations in Abaqus

Submitted by Anna G on

Hello,

I'm a new Abaqus user. I'm trying to model deep and shallow foundations in Abaqus with Mohr Coulomb failure criterion. Without success unfortunately :(



Would anyone be that kind and help me? If it is only possible please send me *.cae file or a link where I can find it. With examples of this kind of modelling and I will try to learn and find mistakes in my model.



Thank You in advance

Regards,

Anna

(Update a new question) Need Help! Bending beam under follower axial force

Submitted by striver2012 on

New question!

I want to explore the same problem in two-dimensional structure (e.g. thin plate).

According to Love simplification, the cross section rotates but the shear

deflection is neglected. This means the edge cross section is not

vertical actually. Can I still assume the shear force on the edge cross

section is always vertical?  e.g. free boundary condition on a circular plate under a concentrated in-plane edge force.

Abaqus - INP file number precision

Submitted by neslon on

Hi all!



I am working in a design optimization process MATLAB-ABAQUS and i need that abaqus writes the nodal coordinates in the inp file with at least 12 significant digits. If i change nodal output precision to full in the job manager i only get 9 digits.

I already changed numDigits in session.journalOptions.defaultFormat, session.journalOptions.fieldReportFormat and session.journalOptions.geometryFormat by submitting in the command line



nf = NumberFormat(numDigits=12, precision=0, format=ENGINEERING)

Vumat for Rousselier model (damage model)

Submitted by Sutham_eng on

Dear Everyone,

Now, I am writing Abaqus’s subroutine (Vumat) for modelling fracture and damage in Ferritic Steels.

The failure theory I have to use in my PhD research is the Rousselier’s Theory. 

 I try to write Vumat by following the procedure of Rousselier model integration in PhD thesis namely ‘3D CAFE modelling of transitional ductile - brittle fracture in steels’ that can see from http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/thesis.pdf (Appendix.B). 

Abaqus viscoelastic material time domain

Submitted by M.Goeke on

Hi,



i have a problem with the domain TIME = FREQUENCY DATA.

My test data is taken from a triaxial compression test wit constant
temperature and amplitude of the load, and ten preassigned frequencies.
The mastercurve from the data allows me to use any frequency of the
tested array.

The conversions from elastic modulus[E] to modulus of elasticity in
shear [G], and bulk modulus of elasticity [K] an their real and
imaginary parts are obvious.



The problem is that abaqus only accepts 50 per cent of the input data.

Warping function for 3D beams

Submitted by stan on

Dear All,

I am modeling 3D beams with arbitrary cross sections and for that purpose I need to calculate the warping function numerically. The warping function ψ(y,z) is defined as a solution of the following Laplace equation with Neumann boundary conditions:

∂2ψ/∂y2 + ∂2ψ/∂z2 = 0 in Ω,

∂ψ/∂n = z*ny - y*nz on Γ,

where Ω is the cross sectional area, and Γ is its contour. This system can be solved by different numerical methods, for example, finite element method, boundary element method, finite differences...

Numerically I obtain that

The damping ratio, used in quasi-static problems, such as sheet forming, stamping, forging, is that role, b, shown in the following equation

Ma+bCv=P-F

For the problems mentioned above, the value of b is about 0.1.  if dynamic explicit method is employed, the simulation may encounters steady problem, while convergence problem for implicit method employed.  I think, you can search some articles on damping in sheet metal forming, then you will understand the effect of this damping ratio.
