How to read Abaqus .res file

Submitted by mary_h_a on

Hi,

 

I do optimization combinign Matlab and Abaqus.I need to have high precision nodal displacement so I generated .fil and .res files.

It is difficult to extract the result I need from .fil file, because it is a complex file to read/rearrange . So I decided to use the .res file. This file is a binary format. I really appreciat your idea about how to read this file.

 

Thank you so much.

problem using crystal plasticity model in Abaqus via UMAT

Submitted by shapoor on

I am trying to model polycrystal behaviour using Abaqus Umat via crytalplasticity . My Umat results for single crystal & about 5 grain, are reasonable, but when, I try to use more than 5 grain in each integration point  (polycrystal model) abaqus aborted with following message after about 15 increment:

Abaqus Error: The executable C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.10-1\exec\standard.exe aborted with system error code 693...

 

I will be happy if someone guide me about this problem.

An interesting arXiv paper: "Precession optomechanics"

Submitted by Ajit R. Jadhav on

Hi all,

Just thought that the following paper archived at the arXiv yesterday could be of general interest to any mechanician:

Xingyu Zhang, Matthew Tomes, Tal Carmon (2011) "Precession optomechanics," arXiv:1104.4839 [^]

The fig. 1 in it makes the matter conceptually so simple that the paper can be recommended to any mechanician for his general reading, and not only to a specialist in the field.

quasi-static simulation

Submitted by uhyadav on

hi,

i am working on crushing of thin-walled section. i want to simulate quasi-static crushing in LS DYNA. for that i did scale the mass, but somehow it is not showing the deformation. i get deformation of .03mm for tube of 90mm. what might have been gone wrong?

please help me.
