I wish  to submit  a documented  newsworthy Candian superior court decision written in Frenchthat has not yet ciculated widely in English

 It shows that an English Canadian  university used forced unpaid leaves of absence for harmless  clerical  typos caught in time despite the cancelled accommodation of an  assisted  double check having been cancelled because it was too costly. 

ABAQUS HEX MESHING - HELP NEEDED

Submitted by satyasrinivas on

Hi,

 I am trying to mesh a solid in CAE using HEX elements. For some reason, I am getting an error message saying that the element topology is not right for the geometry.

 I eventually want to do crack analysis and so hex or wedge elements are essential for my model. Could anyone please help me and let me know if there is a way to go around the problem and get a hex mesh on the solid. I am attaching the .jpeg file of the geometry of the solid I want to HEX mesh.

 

Thanks a lot in advance

Uncertainty quantification in mechanics

Submitted by Biswajit Banerjee on

Modern composite structures have a wide spread in their failure stress.  Advanced multiphysics codes can have a wide range of predicted behavior for nominally the same inputs.  How do we certify the design of such structures or the accuracy of such codes?

Adiabatic temperature in Abaqus VUMAT

Submitted by sonia_1986 on

Hi All ,

I found  simple VUMAT from Abaqus manual.It is based on

Von Mises plasticity and gives stress components, vonmises stress

and plastic equivalent strain.

I want to include the adaibatic temperature that rises/falls along the deformation in adiabatic

analysis.From a general book, i found that temperature-rise during deformation comprising

plastic strain1 to plastic strain 2 is given by:

Integral of stress between the strain limits,multiplied by a constant.
