FEM versus FFT

Submitted by DoQuangHuy on

Dear all,

In micomechanics, homogenization of heterogeneous
materials based on FEM is traditional. Homogenization based on FFT technique has been recently found (in many literatures) to have much more advantages
in term of accuracy, computational cost and resource consumption.

I am wondering why FEMs are still
widely used in education, research, and industries of
generally
computational
mechanics ?

Please could anyone help me to clarify
my question?

Thanks

August 16 - Free Webinar: Tips and Tricks on making the most of Abaqus/CAE Online

Submitted by Akumar on

To all,

There is a free webinar on Abaqus CAE. It is quite useful to those who do not have any experience with Abaqus/CAE, and would like to learn it. Check the link below for more information.

User defined failure criteria in abaqus

Submitted by sathvik_14 on

I am an Aerospace Engineer working at Advanced Composite Division of National Aerospace Laboratory, Bangalore.

I use Abaqus for stress analysis of composite structures.

Abaqus has five inbuilt failure
criteria for composite materials(Tsai-Hill, Tsai-WU etc.) whose contour
plots are shown by requesting output of a field variable called
CFAILURE.

I would like to know if it is
possible to request a contour plot of  a user-defined failure criteria
(which is not inbuilt in abaqus).

Oil & Gas Webinar - Save Time and Money While Pushing Reservoir Data Handling to New Frontiers

Submitted by EnginSoftUK on
Tuesday 11th September
Kraken is a powerful cost and time-saving reservoir simulation post-processor, originally developed for a key Brazilian client by ESSS, South America's leading engineering simulation solutions company.
It features a modern user interface tailored to the visualization and manipulation of multiple scenarios and data sets from all leading reservoir simulators, within any user workflow.
Join us for a free 1-hour Kraken web event on Tuesday 11th September, presented by Marcos Damiani (ESSS) including a Live Demo of Kraken.

Problems about the Contact Roller of the 3D FE Model in ADINA

Submitted by Yifan Huang on

Dear everyone,

Recently I am running a 3D FE model in ADINA to
analyse the elastic-plastic fracture behaviour.

A three-point bending specimen was modeled and the specimen was
supported by a contact roller.

Here is the problem:

In a rather small loading (load line displacement was about 0.1mm),
the program indicated that “the mesh is
too distorted”
and stopped running. It also showed “No convergence” and stopped if the small strain formulation was
used.

3d crack modelling and calculation of j integral in ansys 13.0

Submitted by sbmarwadi on

hello,

i am trying to calculate a j integral values for a 3d crack in ansys.

i tried with a following txt code and as a input file.

the following code actully works for 2d crack for defined paths.what changes should be made to this for getting j-integral values in 3d crack?
