Concrete compression test - Error

Submitted by MrsTgr on
research
ABAQUS
concrete damaged plasticity

Hello everyone, 

I have modeled compression test on concrete cube in Abaqus/Explicit. For concrete I have used Concrete damaged plasticity model. I have assigned displacement as BC (Smooth amplitude) in Reference Point at the top of the cube, and I have coupled RP with the top of the cube. For concrete cube I have used C3D8R elements. 

For history output I have requested Reaction force in RP and energies for whole model. 

But job won't finish. I get an error: 

Help needed... What is the best method to model the constraints between end plate and a pipe and connect it to a loading point ?

Submitted by Diana on

Hi all,

I'm modelling a pipe in ABAQUS subjected to internal pressure as step one then an eccentric tension load is applied as step two. I'm trying to find the best method in connecting the end plate with the pipe and the reference point of loading with the end plate. using kinematic coupling gives different stress distribution on the pipe than using tie constraint. Any idea ?

New prestigious postdoctoral fellowships are provided by a generous gift from Susan and David Hibbitt. Since the fellows will be selected through internal competition with those of other disciplines, solid mechanics applicants should be well qualified for the competition.

I have one model offshore that were designed based on BENTLEY SACS and by that I wanted to convert it on LS-Dyna or SACS to CFD to observe  blast and fire effects & loading and then for non linear analysis of structural.
