I am trying to simulate a 2D model of laser welding . I want to ask How to incorporate the Gaussian heat flux in ANSYS as load??

Any help in this regard will be helpful...... 

Dear Friends,

 I am going to simulate a wavy orthotropic fiber in an isotropic media with  ansys workbench. The fiber is solid and the material direction of fiber needs to be changed continously with the fiber direction. I attached the model. I will appreciate if any body can give me an idea?

 Kind Regards,

I am trying to model a
RCC beam using a linear line element (B21) for concrete and a linear truss
element (T2D2) for rebar in ABAQUS. Can someone tell me how do I connect rebar with
concrete?

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could provide some guidance on
writing the following VUMAT /UMAT or have anything similar that I can modify;

I would like to define a material for ABAQUS that has the
following properties; the material is elastic and isotropic and does not have
any inelasticity performance;

Greetings,

 while trying to simulate reinforced concrete column in ANSYS, i've encounterd the following problem,  

" The supplied nonlinaer material properties produced an incorrect material tangent matrix. please check your TB input carefully. a very small yield stress may cause this failure " .!

‘’ Direct FSI’’ (weak FSI) versus ‘’ fully coupled FSI ’’ (Strong FSI)

Is that possible to have Strong fsi with 2-way fsi in the same time?

Thanks any one can help

Hello,

I want your help

I'm doing a model by ABAQUS. I want to apply force in the first step
and after that I want to change the geometry in the second step (I want
to do a hole in my geometry).

How can I change my geometry after applying the force?

can you help me please?

Thanks

Im using abaqus software,after the meshed product, i have run my first step of initial condition and after the st analysis, its found that the strain is bigger at certain point such as "element 20th" and i want delete the "element 20th" or add extra new element around "element 20th" to reduce the strain.... Any sugggestion from all of you?

thank you...

Good day to everyone....

Im new in the abaqus user... im here got some problem in my beginner stage:

 (i) what the units used in the abaqus? how can i ckeck it? 

(ii) what is means of the approximate size?

(iii) we can put the vertical load and horizontal load, but how i can put the load with the angle such as (10kN in 30o) 

(iv) how can i do if i want do the looping in my analysis, such as:

Hi

I want to modeling fatigue in composite with abaqus and i need a simple example in this subject.

can i help me?

tnx
