Modeling post-tensioned concrete in ABAQUS

Submitted by soesuk on

Hi All,

 I want to model post-tensioning tendons embedded with concrete structure. Both ends of tendons are anchored. Can anyone inform me what kind of element most suitable to model the tendons and concrete structure in ABAQUS? I tried solid part for both items, yet as the tendon diameter is very small if compared to the concrete dimension, the resulting number of mesh on the concrete structure is very large.

Material Parameter Calibration for Johnson Cook

Submitted by priyadd84 on

Hi all ... Is there a way to find/calibrate material parameters for johnson and cook material model using experimental data in Abaqus? .. As far as i know abaqus has something called as data editor with which Hyperelastic materials models can be calibrated with experimental results. If not is there any other way arround to do calibration of material parameter with abaqus.

Modelling Floating objects in Abaqus

Submitted by Ferris71@gmail.com on

Hi,

Im a real beginner at Abaqus, and trying to model a hollow structure floating in water. I've managed to model the structure, but I do not know where to start with regards to modelling water. I also need to apply a gravity load to the structure, but am having difficulty doing so.

 

Is anyone able to help.

Many Thanks

Naming of an "Epsilon Dot Zero" And a "Reference Strain Rate" of J-C Parameters in Abaqus/Explicit

Submitted by Martin Madaj on

Hello,

 
I'm a little bit confused with a naming convention of strain rates of Johnson-Cook plasticity and damage model in Abaqus. In J-C equations there are two parameters:  

MPI errors on a linux cluster (ABAQUS/Explicit)

Submitted by Martin Madaj on

Hello everybody,

i try to perform a 2D orthogonal cutting simulation using the Johnson-Cook damage model in ABAQUS/Explicit. When simulated on my desktop PC (AMD Phenom quad core processor, Windows Vista 64bit), the simulation runs successfully. But if  I try to run the simulation on a linux cluster, it ends with error messages related to HP-MPI. Moreover, if I run a 3D drilling simulation on the cluster, it runs successfully with no errors.

I use ABAQUS 6.7.5, CPE4R elements. 

Example of error messages from *.log file:

SIMULIA announces new features in Abaqus 6.10

Submitted by Kewei Li on

For those of you looking for FSI simulation on Abaqus platform, recently Simulia has announced the new features in release 6.10, which introduces the capability for performing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation.
So it enables users to perform coupled physics simulations with
Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit, such as fluid-structure
interaction between human tissue, a medical device, and fluid flow, more information:

Need help in resolving an ABAQUS error about degrees of freedom of a temp-disp process

ABAQUS - DEGREE OF FREEDOM 11 AND AT LEAST ONE OF DEGREES OF FREEDOM 1 THRU 6 MUST BE ACTIVE IN THE MODEL FOR *COUPLED TEMP-DISP. CHECK THE PROCEDURE AND ELEMENT TYPES USED IN THIS MODEL.  

Hi,

I’m trying to learn ABAQUS to simulate temperature-displacement problems.So, I’ve started on a simple example: two plates in contact, the 2nd presses and moves on the 1st plate (which is fixed).Could anyone tell me why the program gives me this error:

The use of IOSO Optimization and ABAQUS at Civil Structures of NPP (from ABAQUS Users' Conference)

Submitted by IOSOnier on

At the stage of NPP civil structure design for determination of stress-strain state (SSS) at static and dynamic loading ABAQUS is widely used. Hereto the floor response spectra are determined for calculation of loadings on the equipment at special dynamic impacts (seismic, air shock wave, aircraft crash). In case if the obtained characteristics of SSS or spectral accelerations exceed maximum permissible values, designers take actions on strengthening the corresponding structural components.
