Hello,

Hello , everyone ! I really need your help ! 

I've created a model for a 6DOF (RRRPRR) robot but I keep getting an error message about the "Revolute4" joint . 

Can anyone help me fixing it as soon as possible , please ? Thanks in advance . 

Can anybody help me in using smeared crack and cohesive zone modeling in concrete for different grades. I was actually facing problem in using the same to identify fracture parameters of concrete using ABAQUS. I will also be helpful if anyone let me know about an alternate method to find fracture parameters of concrete using ABAQUS apart from using models. Thanks in advance.......

How can I use finite difference to discretize a system of fourth order differential equations?

Hi everyone 

Do you know how to install abaqus software on different machines which have a same license server? 

1. How to install abaqus on the license server computer? 

2. How to install abaqus on the other computers? 

Could you please give me some instructions or help? 

Thank you in advance!

Hello, I have a written a UMAT for a hyperfoam type material in Abaqus. To validate it I am comparing my UMAT results with that from a *HYPERFOAM material definition. I am facing a particular problem: 

Hello guys,

I have a model in in .inp Abaqus format. I need to modify the model and amend it using Solidworks. Anyone have an idea on how to do that. I just figure out by export it into STL file. When I opened it using Solidworks, I only can view the model. I cannot event draw or make some amendment on the model. Anyone have the same exoerience. Thank you

I work with both Beam188 elements and

Link180 elements and would like to be joint them together.

Is this even possible, How can I achieve this

How obtain tension strain concrete(σt0) in damaged plasticity model in ABAQUS?

hello engineers

i need help about concrete damaged plasticity

fo example :

if Compressive stress (Fu)= 51.2 MPa

and tension stress (σ t)=0.3 x 51.2^(2/3)=4.136

1)why (σ t) is 2.36 in picture(uploaded)?

2)what is tension strain ? and how? i cant understand.

i cant obtain εt = total tensile strain.

how obtain εcr ?

please help
