Geometry import in ABAQUS / FE Software

Submitted by PRITI YADAV on

Hello All,

I am having ¨.asc¨and ¨.obj¨geometry files, which I wanted to import in ABAQUS. The problem is ABAQUS is not having direct option to import these files. Please anybody suggest me how can I take these files into ABAQUS or else suggest me any other FE software, which support ¨.asc¨and ¨.obj¨ geomtery file format.

Best Regards

Surface Boundary Measurement Using 3D Profilometry

Submitted by NANOVEA on

In profilometer studies where the interface of surface features, patterns, shapes etc., are being evaluated for orientation, it will be useful to quickly identify areas of interest over the entire profile of measurement. By segmenting a surface into significant areas the user can quickly evaluate boundaries, peaks, pits, areas, volumes and many others to understand their functional role in the entire surface profile under study.

Submitted by Mohamed H.Miloud on

hello

I identified a set of parameters of the Gurson model. How to use these parameters to simulate the propagation of a crack in a CT specimen?. In another way how to simulate the propagation of a crack with the GTN model?

thanks!
