Abaqus python scripting, booleanmerge section assignment
Hey,
I am writing a python script for modeling aggregates in a concrete cylinder. I have created a all the particles and and specified section properties to them and to the cylinder.
The procedure I am using is to merge the particles and the cylinder while retaining the boundaries. If the sctions are assigned to the parts before merging, the result is the cylinder with the specified section assignmentsfor each part.
I wrote the code in python but seems like it does not include the section assignment to the new part from merge.

Mechanical characterization and micromechanical modeling of bread dough. J.Rheol [http://dx.doi.org/10.1122/1.4768463]
The mechanical behavior of dough, gluten, and
starch was studied in an effort to investigate whether bread dough can be
treated as a two phase (starch and gluten) composite material. Mechanical
loading tests revealed rate-dependent behavior for both the starch and the
gluten constituents of dough. There is evidence from cryo-scanning electron
microscopy that damage in the form of debonding between starch and gluten
occurs when the sample is stretched. In addition, the Lodge material model was
found to deviate from the tension and shear stress-strain test data by a
How to do such integration with dummy indicials for strain energy density?
The integration puzzles me is
Integrate C_ijkl e_kl de_ij (from 0 to e_ij )= 1/2 C_ijkl e_ij e_kl
which is the well known strain energy density of elasticity and much like the energy in a spring as
Integrate k x dx (from 0 to x ) = 1/2 k x x.
By the way, this integration appears at page 226 in the book "Nonlinear Finite Elements for Continua and Structures" by T Belytschko, B Moran, WK Liu, 1999, the book just directly throws out the result without any details.
