Want guidance/help for Shell Modelling
Hi,
I am trying to do SHELL modeling of a problem to get Bending moment, Shear force, Axial Force etc.
Problem can be simply explained as below:
Model is just a like a room (block) with 4 surrounding wall, a roof and ground (Base).
Height (H) of (any) pair of opposite walls are not same, i.e say H front = 5m and H rear = 3m.
(Base) ground is straight whereas roof is inclined from front wall towards rear wall.

iam doing M-Tech project on finite element anlysis of composite plate using piezo layers. can anybody guide me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee
Radiation in 1D beam finite elements
Hi everyone,
Has anyone ever come across the treatment of radiation heat transfer in one-dimensional beams using FEM ? Convection and conduction are well established, but I was wondering whether radiation is still an open area of research?
Any links to publications would be very much appreciated, Thank you

SIF Accuracy - Abaqus XFEM
Hello,
I understand from word of mouth, as well as an extensive study/Master'sThesis (http://publications.lib.chalmers.se/records/fulltext/164269.pdf), that Abaqus XFEM formulation works, but that processing of results to obtain reported SIF (KI, KII, KIII, not sure about J, others) are in error due to apparent bugs in Abaqus's algorithm to calculate the SIFs.
problem with print*,"..." in VUMAT
Hi
my problem is that when I use print command in my subrutine VUMAT ,the results changes and sometimes abaqus stops with an error.
do you think is there any problem with my VUMAT or this problem is a routine problem with VUMAT subroutine?
thnaks for your help

vumat problem
Hi
my problem is to define initial value for solution dependent state varibales in Vumat.when I define them in .log file the same as help,it doesn,t work and the error is your'e defining initial condition for element zero while this elemet doesn,exist.what can I do for solving this prolem.
thanks alot
