hi

I am interesting to use of mesh constraint in eulerian analysis of metal cutting. I use of eulerian surfaces in inflow and outflow of model. but when i use  mesh constraint in inflow and outflow nodes the nodes in corner of model where the eulerian and lagrangain regions intersect each other is known nonadaptive. how to use of mesh constraint to this nodes???

what is the best mesh constraint angle for this model ? because this is one of other errors.

Dear All,

We tried to simulate simple shear using ABAQUS and compared it with the analytical solution. To our surprise, even though the equivalent stress and strain matched perfectly, the component stress and strain had a large deviation between the semi analytical and ABAQUS methods. The zero components in the analytical model were calculated to be non-zero in the results of ABAQUS. This paradox could not be understood clearly as whether it is a case of software deficiency or conceptual error. A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM IS ATTACHED AS A REPORT.

 

Hello guys,

I have a silly question. We all know that mode II strain energy release rate was given as GII=KII^2/E for linear elastic material. My question is why E (Young's modulus) but not G (shear modulus) appears in the equation, because Mode II crack propagation is attributed to the shear stress. On the other hand, it seems self-explanatory that we use E for mode I and G for Mode III.

I just wonder if there is a simple explanation to that.

Hi there

I am looking at the Drucker Prager Cap Model in ANSYS. I need to perform non-linear analysis for high strength concrete, but I am struggling with the constants input. If you have any good info please forward it to me.

Hello to everyone

I am doing B.Tech. from the IIT Roorkee(India).

I want to model and analyse a borehole heat exchanger using ABAQUS.

Unfortunately I am a beginner in ABAQUS.

It will be really helpful if someone could give me a tutorial regarding a similar topic (heat transfer analysis).

I would be deeply grateful for any help.

thanks a lot in advance

Hey I've got a beam and between two different materials i'm thinking to put a cohesive zone with "weaker" material properties. Does it make sense to use cohesive zone models?

My model is looking like this now. But I don't know what's wrong. It seems taht the whole force/displacement is lost in the cohesive zone. 

If somebody can help that would be very nice
