Subroutine simulation migration from HETVAL to UMATH

Submitted by PauloCalvo on

Hi!



I'm already simulating a shape memory alloy behavior with the aid of the HETVAL subroutine, but I'd like to use UMATHT instead, since the HETVAL can't simulate correctly heat absortion(cooling down).



I've tried to add the required values for UMATHT without achieving a correct phase fraction simulation, and some times even no compilation of the .for file.



Is there any other examples that uses UMATHT besides the Stefan problem?

Any other recommendation about HETVAL to UMATHT migration?



Thanks in advance!

About Franc3D/Osm 3.2 surface coordinate system issue

Submitted by SBS on

 

--------->>>>>>



The software version I installed and used is 3.2 version. I created a
3-D brick and meshed it in ANSYS 14. Then, I output the .cdb file and
convert it using OSM 3.2 software. After that, I started FRANC3D 3.2
software and follow the guidance in the "Thin Shell
Tutorial v2.6". It was said that I have to check the surface coordinate
system by changing direction of "GREEN BARS to the Same X direction".

convert ANSYS results to ABAQUS or LS-DYNA results.

Submitted by behzad15922 on

Hi

 I use FEMFAT to predict the fatigue life of welded structures. FEMFAT can take the effect of plastic strain on fatigue life but the stress results should imported from ABAQUS or LS-DYNA. Since I've simulated the welding process in ANSYS, I want to know that is there any way to convert ANSYS results(file.RST) to ABAQUS(file.ODB) or LS-DYNA results(file.d3plot).

Postdoc position

The Department of
Industrial Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh anticipates an opening
for a postdoctoral associate starting September 2012. The position’s primary
area of research will focus on mechanics of the microforming processes and
characterizing the thermomechanics of deformation at small length-scales. The
initial appointment is for one year with potential to extend, subject to the
availability of funds. A strong background in solid mechanics with an expertise

Vibration analysis with uncertainty properties

Submitted by hrbeu221 on

Dear all, 

 These days I am doing some research on vibration analysis with uncertain properties. In traditional, Monte Carlo Simulation is used to do this simulation. But the drawback is time-consuming for the determinstic analysis. 

 For this, how to solve this problem? Please help me on it. Please give me some suggestion on it.

 Thank you for your concern.

 

non linear visco elasticity

Submitted by rajasekhar18 on

Hi

 i am interested to study the morphology of polymeric membranes in non linear regime. I am in search of what actually a 'non linear behavior in a material represents'. Mathematically there are certain equations governing the non linear behavior. But my concern is how material behaves in non linear regime (under moderate to high stress). And what molecular and microstructural features contributes to the non linear behavior?. Can any one post me to under stand the micro sructural behavior of polymers in non linear regime. It would be useful help to me.
