Hello,
I want to know that is there a novel way of defining several two dimensional contact pairs in Abaqus/Explicit. I know that abaqus has the capability of defining a general contact but it is restricted only to Abaqus standard and 3D Abaqus explicit problems.
I have a 2D plane strain problem where I have to specify more than 1000 contact pairs in the assembly between similar instances of the same part. Is there a fortran subroutine that could be used to determine so many contact pairs?
Thanks,
Tuhin
Dear All,
I think that many students are looking for some tutorials about writing a UMAT in ABAQUS.
You can find a comprehensive tutorial for elastic problems.
This file contains:
• Motivation
• Steps Required in Writing a UMAT or VUMAT
• UMAT Interface
• Examples
Example 1: UMAT for Isotropic Isothermal Elasticity
Example 2: UMAT for Non-Isothermal Elasticity
Example 3: UMAT for Neo-Hookean Hyperelasticity
Early bird registraion is open for the 2010 SCC which will be held May 25 - May 27, 2010 at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, RI, just a short distance from SIMULIA's world headquarters.
There will be more than 80 customer presentations over the course of the 2 1/2 day conference. Advanced Seminars are offered on Monday May 24.
All users of SIMULIA products including Abaqus FEA, Isight, Fiper, and SIMULIA SLM invited to register for the conference.

Hi all,
I have been trying to gain an understanding of representing a viscoelastic material in abaqus. To do this i have been trying to represent polypropylene using data obtained from creep curves found in literature (attached). To now what i have been doing is the following: Note i am using Abaqus 6.7
In material manager: selecting Elastic-inputting Instantaneous Youngs Modulus, E, Poissons, v, (E=1.8GPa, v=0.4) and setting the moduli time scale to instantaneous. And Viscoelastic-Domain:Time, Time=Creep Test data and inputting Shear Test Data
I'm modeling the transient heat transfer of a cooler with an ice pack in it. How does one accurately model the phase change of the water? Here's what I've tried so far:
1. Added latent heat property to material card. Used Latent heat = 334 kJ/kg, Solidus Temp = 0, Liquidus Temp = 0
Result: Error, Solidus and Liquidus temps cannot be equal
2. Solidus temp = -0.01, Liquidus temp = 0.01
Result: Analysis ran, but diverged very early in the analysis.
Dear sirs,
I would like to seek your assistanceon using the Abaqus software .
I am trying to study the stresses inpavement layers , by applying movingloads caused by vehicles. However I have not been able to get a visualrepresentation of the moving load.
I would like to know how to get acycle of movement , to and fro ...over a period of years .
I shall be grateful if you alsocould send me a similar case on the lines of Abaqus/CAE truss tutorials .
Dear all,
I'm new to ABAQUS and I was wondering if we could have access to any constitutive equation in ABAQUS and add another stress tensor to the Cauchy stress tensor?
regards,
