hi,

      I want to do buckling analysis of cylindrical shell in abaqus.In the abaqus documentation,it is written that along with simply supported condition  one has to fix a node to prevent rigid body motion.How can i prevent the rigid body motion?

How to input stress strain details into ansys in materila modelling?

I have the stress strain points in a excel format table....and also in graph..

Hi,

please help me to solve mechanical engineering design problem of rolling contact bearing with matlab. thank u so much.

I have few general queries regarding MLPG meshfree method

1. Can the trial and test functions be taken same for solving a problem

2. In the problem if there are zones with different properties, for example different Coeffiencient of Permeability in the aquifers (Plan view-wise), how to handle the interface between the zones and assemble the global matrix

Is there a way to apply cyclic loads in abaqus....I have to simulate close to 50000 cycles...Is it possible to do in abaqus in first place?Max. load- 25kn,Min-load - 5kn,Frequency is 5 Hz....material is aluminium!

Kindly help me.Thanks!

Dear all,

        I am running a abaqus job to simulate the failure mechanism of a pile-foundation system. The material used is mohr-coulomb soil. I found that if I use multiple cpus for the calculation, I got different results each time (at the step which does not converge). However, If I just use single cpu, there is no such kind of problem, each time I got the same results.

         Anyone else has this experiences before? I am quite confused.

Hi,

I need to model a 3D piezoelectric material in ABAQUS then i need to include the non-linear constitutive equation to understand the behaviour of the material, please help me to know whether i need to use UMAT or VUMAT subroutine for incorporating the non-linear constitutive equation.

Thanks
