Hi All

Can anybody let me know please, how to draw bending moment diagram using ABAQUS? I am fighting with this problem for a couple of days. I tried with the SF (SM1) variable but it does not give the value as I expected. Any help? Please.  Mahbub

 Here is the my test data(3d points) and theC++ file (rename to *.cpp) I wrote to build the matrix which is written to a file, and can be loaded into matlab or scilab as follows:

 M = load("C:/tmp2/WendlandRBFMatrix.txt");

 Thanks.

What is strain rate sensitivity? What does it mean? I know the
equation, but I am asking its physcal meaning. How do I know if a
material is strain rate snesitive? Is there a way of calculating or
measuring it? Thanks for your help.

Thanks

Hi,

I am a novice ABAQUS user.  I've found out that I'm more comfortable using ABAQUS/Standard than the CAE version.
