Truncation of Displacement boundary conditions in Abaqus

Submitted by lorenzoguiducci on

 

 

Hi everyone,

 

I've wrote a script in python to create a model in Abaqus, run the simulations and retrieve the results I need.

I use the Abaqus python build (on PDE).

 

I experience a strange problem with the following command:

 

myModel.DisplacementBC(... ..., u1=0.123456789, u2=SET; ur3=...)

 

which gets translated in the input file like this:

 

*Boundary

myNodeset, 1, 1, 0.1234

myNodeset, 2, 2

Dear All,

My name is Ronald, student at Eindhoven University of Technology, master Structural Design and i have an import question about the FEM programme Abaqus, about orthotropic materials.

I defined an orthotropic or anisotropic material in Abaqus by using the option; engineering constants or orthotropic (all linear elastic).

Abaqus asks for the modulus of elasticity in direction 1, 2 and 3 and the shear modulus and poisson ratios.

So far so good.

Run ABAQUS subroutines written in Fortran

Submitted by Jingwen Zhang on

Dear colleagues,

 I am a beginner in using ABAQUS subroutines, and currently come into the problem of running ABAQUS subroutines written in Fortran.

I have installed ABAQUS 6.11-1, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, and Intel Visual Fortran Studio XE 2011 on my computer. However, when I run the test codes, there are the following errors:

Postdoc Position in Advanced Materials Lab, Northwestern University

Submitted by cbrinson on

A postdoctoral position is available immediately in Brinson’s Advanced Materials Lab involving collaborative work on finite element modeling of nanostructured polymer composites. The majority of the work will be split across two projects on the subject.  The first project involves 3D modeling of filled elastomers, with a focus on the viscoelastic properties. Non-linear viscoelastic modeling experience is a plus, but not required.

Modeling non-linear material

Dear all

I would like to model two non-linear material as shown in the pictures in ABAQUS. But I can model it with its non-linearities. The model has been created with beam element. I used the classical elastic-plastic model using calibrations but because of elastic non-linearities the calculated plastic strain comes negative. please help me howI can model it
