Hallo,

for the first time i am trying to use python script for ABAQUS fieldoutput. I have calculated PEEQ vs. STEP TIME from abaqus CAE.  Now i want to proof that ABAQUS use the same formula, which is given in manual, for computation of equivalent plastic strain. Therefore, i am trying to write a python script and then compare this from the result obtained through ABQUS CAE. Have anyone here written such a code in python??

Hi everyone

I am modeling a slip joint in Abaqus with python coding , and I want to get the internal forces in a section with python coding and I don't know how to do it, I'll be apreciated if any body help me

Thanks Shayan

Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I've just started my thesis and this forum has been a good help to me. I hope I can contribute as well.

Here's my question: A few days ago I've found out this interesting work: Z. Yuan and J. Fish, Toward realization of computational homogenization in practice, Int. J. Numer. Meth. Eng. 73 (2008) 361–380.

In the paper the authors refer to a link were all examples are available. However, the link is broken and as far as I know, these are not available anymore.

Does anyone have these files that can share them?

I have been trying to make a crystal plasticity UMAT. This is my first umat and i am kind of stuck.

I need some guidance in making the umat .

My email id is dr.krishangovind [at] gmail.com. I would be very helpful to you.

I am a good idea about the fundamentals required in crystal plasticity. I have tried some UMAT of my  own but they are not working fine.

Thank you

1.Can some one please tell me on what basisi do we decide the accurate size of the hot and the cold plates used in the guarded hot plate apparatus

2. Also On what basis do we decide the approximate size of the sample/specimen to be used

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone had experience writing UMAT in material coordinate system? Then what is the diference in writing UMAT when local material direction (*ORIENTATION) is used? 

Thanks

I am modelling a unreinforced masonry wall in ANSYS 15, but i have a problem in the interface. The interface opens in the first load steps. I am using target 170 and contact 174 elements with Cohesive zone model.

halo 

Is it possible to increase or decrease element number during meshing in ansys 

thank you

Could anyone please help on how to deactivate the crack propagation capability?

Following section 10.7.1 in the User Guide of 6.13, the crack propagation capability can be deactivated in some step. But I tried it in a very simple example through CAE and input file, it does not work.

Particularly, the problems are
