ABAQUS

Hi,

What is the difference between the nodal force (NFORC) and Reaction force in abaqus. I applied some displacement in my model, when checking the Reaction and Nodal force at the same node, Nodal force is just half the reaction force. Then I did some experiment and applied some load on a node, after solution when i check the nodal force on the same node, it is half of the applied load. Why is it not  same as the load I applied? I am confused. Please help me.

 Thanks,

Hi,

I have to perform thermomechanical analysis of turning process in ABAQUS as a part of my project.

Is there any documentation or tutorials available for it?

Kindly provide me with links if it is available.

Thanking in advance.

Hello,

Does anybody know how change part material during caluculations (between steps) in ABAQUS.

I need to modifie Young modulus of one part in my calculations after first phase of loading.

Thank You in advance

Hello All

I have a problem in which I have to apply concentrated load on the internal nodes in specific directions.

Is it possible to apply concentrated load on internal nodes (nodes which are not on the boundary) in Abaqus, or any other FEM software?

Is it possible to for exampleuse static condensation method and define subdomains in the body and apply concentrated loads on theoundaries of an arbitrary domain? 

I would be thankful if you could help me.

Hi,

I am trying to do Low cycle fatigue analysis in abaqus, and

according to the Documentation, for bulk material damage initiation and damage

evolution definition, I can use the criteria (and type for Damage evolution) as

"Hysteresis Energy". And have to define 4 material variables C1 to

C4.
