How to add a residual stress field as initial condition for ABAQUS

Submitted by Hiton Zhang on

I am trying to construct the existing residual stress and strain field, which has been obtained in the previous themal-elastic-plastic analysis in a structure into Abaqus V.6.5 so that the influence of post heat treatment and restrain conditions on the distortion can be analyzed. I tried to use INITIAL CONDITIONS: TYPE=TEMPERATURE, FILE=filename...to add the temperature field, but I don't know how I can add the residual stress field as the initial coniditon. Does anyone know how to do this ?!!.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best regards

We need a travelling long distance microscope for measurement of crack length

Submitted by kaslantas on

Hi

I am looking for a travelling long distance microscope for measurement of crack length. I will use this microscope on Instron fatigue test machine. I found some long distance microscopes on the web. But they are not appropriate for us. I attached a figure showing the travelling microscope that I would like to buy.

Do you have any suggestion about it? Where can I find it?

Thanks

Dear All,

 Is there a source of free material data property files for use in ANSYS Simulation? I am looking for a file representing the properties of Neodymium Iron Boron (38) (permanent magnet material) to apply to a simulation of a motor. 

 Thanks for any help!
