creating a perfect spherical hole in an orphan mesh (Abaqus)

Submitted by rajan_prithivi on

Hello All,

I have an 3D orphan mesh (Abaqus)  that I obtained from the Gmsh software. I would like to insert a perfect spherical hole in that mesh.

 

I selected all the elements inside a sphere and deleted them but i am getting a very coarse surface, look at the figure attached


Is there a way to create a perfect spherical hole in a 3D Abaqus mesh ( I do not have the part geometry)  ?

 

I thought something like,  smooth the inside of the surface of the mesh deletion, but I donot know how to do that.

 

Properties of cohesive surface on cohesive elements

Submitted by ndhaa26 on

Hello everyone,

I have a simple ABAQUS model with cohesive surface and I want to create a comparable model with cohesive elements instead of the surface. Applying the same properties onto the cohesive elements does not give me the desired results. Then I read somewhere that the properties cannot be applied on the elements directly the same way.

So how do I apply my interface properties onto the material of the cohesive elements? I thought that I should consider the thickness of the elements, but still until now I have not succeeded yet...

Thank you in advance.

Which theory Abaqus' Contour Integral for the determination of SIFs is based on?

Submitted by havelmay on

I am actually using Abaqus' Contour Integral for the determination of stress intensity factors. But I do not know, which theory it is based on. Is it the same like the path-independent determination of J integral? Or is there a difference?

Different results when *DEFORMATION PLASTICITY vs *PLASTIC used for modelling plasticity of ductile meals in ABAQUS?

Submitted by Prabuddha Sath… on

I got different results for a tensile test simulation when I used *DEFORMATION PLASTICITY (DP), instead of *PLASTIC (P) to model the same material. Ramberg-Osgood (R-O) parameters were directly provided for DP model while true stress/plastic strain values were calculated using the same R-O parameters for P model. Could somebody provide some insight into why that happened? This is not a fracture problem.

Alternative to Cohesive Elements / Surface

Submitted by ndhaa26 on

Hello,

I want to analyze the interface between the fiber and the matrix in a fiber reinforced composite and I am now looking for the right material model.

In Abaqus there are the options of using cohesive elements or cohesive surface. As an alternative I want to model the interface as a third layer with solid elements.

My idea is to use the existing model Concrete Damaged Plasticity. Does this make sense?

Thank you in advance.

I am new to abaqus and currently working in Abaqus 2016

I am getting the error 5 unconnected regions in abaqus. I have checked thoroughly all the interefaces and boundary conditions but I am not able to sort out this problem. Also I am getting Displacment increment is too big for contact. The job is getting aborted eventually.

I have attached images of the model.
