We'd like to share a recent publication based on our software, which converts 3D volumetric image data into computational models; this article, published in partnership with MSC Technology, highlights how we've been able to produce successful FE models for biomedical implant design.

We have more case studies and information available on our website - www.simpleware.com - where you can also download a free 30 day trial of our software.

Hi,

Im doing my research in crack initiation and propagation in rock and i have adopted ABAQUS to do this problem. But i cannot find any tutorial for crack growth in rock. As per some random literature i started using XFEM model to model the crack growth. But i still didnt feel confident about my work. Can anyone suggest me some material and im beginner to ABAQUS tool

I am currently working on developing a model of flexible pavement. The middle layer is having a non linear elasticity property. So the elastcity of the different parts of the layer varies with the stress applied. The process continues till the Elasticty stabilises. Can anyon please help me with its implementation in ANSYS APDL?

here we are to tell you how we can model masonry in abaqus cae.
there are 3 ways:
1-micro modeling
2- macro modeling
3- micro-macro modeling(HOMOGENIZATION)
micro modeling; 
in this method all parts should be modeled in abaqus separately.
but notice that don't use shell to modeling grout because of 3d properties of grout and cohesive characteristics.
this method is suitable for small masonry panels with 2-3 layers of brick.

Hello everyone,

I am trying to simulate the force vs displacement response when cam clay soil model containing rigid foundation is acted by the concentrated load at the interface of rigid body with the soil. I don't know why i am receiving "time increment error".
