How to move cylindrical shape heat source in plate using abaqus

Submitted by deepak.yaduwanshi on

I am working on friction stir welding process in that i have to move tool shape heat source in plate to find out temperature distribution in plate . I have make circular shape heat source on the surface of the plate but i want to make cylindrical shape pin as a heat source in that. presenyly i am using dflux subroutine pls help me

machine design and software simulation (static and dynamic analysis)

Submitted by wissam.hijazi on

HI,

i am a mechanical engineer in the domain of machine design  i use solid works (mainly) and catia  as CAD and i am learning solidworks simulation but as i browsed the net i found that no one recommends it but they do recommend ANSYS , ABAQUS ,OR COMSOL 

my line of work is the design and optimization of machines (assemblies) and machine elements (parts), so i need to know if SW simulation is enough in this domain or should i switch to one of the mentioned softwares

and should i choose one what is the one that do the job as is less complex

UEL Subroutine aborts with error 5.

Submitted by somusshabadi on

Hello Experts,

 

I have written a Uel subroutine and trying to implement on a plate constrained at all the edges. 

My UEL Subroutine executes without any errors when the total number of elements are just 15 to 20. But when I increase the number of elements and mesh it more fine, My Uel subroutine aborts with ERROR Code 5.

If I print the JELEM, UEL Subroutine is aborting always at 52th Element, i.e when JELEM=52. Even when I remesh the structure with different size, Uel subroutine consistantly aborts for the 52ed element.

Differnce betwwen general Orthogonal cutting and Single point diamond cutting

Submitted by Borad M Barkachary on

Hello Everyone..





As per my knowledge for most of the numerical simulation is assumes 2D orthogonal cutting.  But, I am doubt about Single point diamond Cutting. can we consider it orthogonal cutting....??



because the tool is in crystalline structure. ??





any body please... can clearify my doubt...??
