XFEM crack under compression.

Submitted by Hidroxid on Thu, 06/23/2016 - 14:26

Hi all,

I am doing crack modelling (XFEM) under moving compression and traction loading in Abaqus but I get warning regarding the crack under compression load as follows:

"THE LOADING CONDITION MIGHT MAKE MAIN CRACK UNDER COMPRESSION AT NSET "X" THE CRACK PROPAGATION DIRECTION CANNOT BE PREDICTED. A VALUE OF ZERO IS PROVIDED FOR IT."

Anyone facing the same issue?

Kind regards,

Omid

ABAQUS: problem in applying pressure after element deletion

Submitted by SamInfinity on Thu, 06/23/2016 - 09:33

research

In ABAQUS, how to apply a pressure field using vdload subroutine on a newly produced surface after deletion of elements from the top surface where the pressure field was actually applied? Or in other words, how to define a new surface for applying a pressure field, where the surface on which the pressure was initially applied is deleted with the evolution of damage.
