Applying a moving pressure and traction in Abaqus
Hello all,
I have applied a moving ellyptical hertzian pressure load on a surface using a DLOAD which works, but I also need the traction load which is the multiplication of this pressure with a friction coeffcient.
Does anybody have any clue how to do it? Directly through abaqus or inside the same DLOAD?
Kind regards,
Omid

Sixth International Symposium on Energy Challenges and Mechanics (ECM6) - towards a big picture
Since James Watt, a Scottish inventor, improved the efficiency of steam engine, human civilization relies more and more on a steady supply of energy. Today we are at a transitional age. On one hand, we see technology advances in the exploration and development of oil and gas, a depleting resource; we see growth in handling aging and decommissioning. On the other hand, we see ideas and plans for the future's new energy structure.
Fifth International Symposium on Energy Challenges and Mechanics (ECM5) - working on small scales
Since James Watt, a Scottish inventor, improved the efficiency of steam engine, human civilization relies more and more on a steady energy supply. Today, the world is poised on the brink of two historic energy transformations: replacing oil with electricity in transportation, and replacing high carbon, finite-supply coal and natural gas with renewable wind, solar, marine and biomass energies for electricity production. This symposium is about current state of the art small scale technologies being applied to solve energy challenges,
delete an element set from abaqus *inp file
Hi every body,
I need to delete an arbitrary set of elemets in abaqus *.inp file before analysis running.
I tried to remove elements with this command in inp file-> (*Model Change, remove), But it does not work. may be because the model is 3D. (a tube)
Is there any way to delete a set of elemets in inp file? or I should write a python script for that?
I appreciate any hints on this problem of mine.
Thank you in advance.
PhD position at UBC (Vancouver)
There is a fully funded PhD opportunity in my lab http://dalubc.wordpress.com on the topic of phonon transport in nanostructured materials. Strong background in computational tools (MD, FE, and MATLAB) and elastodynamics/wave propagation is essential. Applications are sought from very strong and motivated gradaute students intending to puruse PhD studies in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, UBC, Vancouver, Canada.
