Problem of contact data in ABAQUS 6.8 version

Submitted by jin haeng Lee on

Hi.

I have an issue related to recent change in ABAQUS new version.

 I've recently found a problem related to cotact data in ABAQUS new version, 6.8. I use fil files, but I've heard from a Simulia engineer that data file also has the same problem (I have not checked it out yet.)

Johnson-Cook Material Model, Abaqus Explicit

Submitted by D. Barrett Hardin on

I am currently running a Quasi-Static compression simulation in Abaqus Explicit using the Johnson-Cook Plasticity option. As the strain gets beyond the elastic range, the stress-strain response begins to oscillate +- 5 MPa around the expected curve. Does anyone know why this is happening and/or how to repair the problem?

Thanks, 

D. Barrett Hardin

ABAQUS question on multi-core processor.

Submitted by Yongchang Lee on

Hi, all imechanicans,

I use ABAQUS 6.8-1 on REDHAT 64-bit which is recent version. My server has two quad-core processors. Even though I select 8 cpus to run the model I made, only two or three cpus are work, not 8 cpus. Why does it happen? Does anybody know about this?

My model is 2-D and has 1000 eight-node elements.

Thank you

Modelling of load test on board pile by Abaqus

Submitted by ziyad on

Hi all,

has someone experience with modelling soils in Abaqus? I am trying to model load test on board pile, some errors apear, like so many attempts made for this increment...too large fixed time, etc. I am pleased to share .inp file of analysis.

Abaqus 3D model and 2D meshed cross-sections

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

I have a 3D model in Abaqus of a wind turbine rotor, modelled with shell elements (S4R and S3). To use the same blade in an aeroelastic wind turbine code (HAWC2 from Risoe), I want to convert selected cross sections of the 3D model to Timoshenko beam elements.

Coupling Abaqus with an aeroedynamic code - PART 2

In a previous post some months ago (see here), I mentioned some of the questions I had considering the aeroelastic response of a wind turbine rotor. In this post I just want to give, for those interested, a brief status report.

ABAQUS/Standard - 2D beam elements vs 3D shell elements

Submitted by bilim on

Dear collegues,

I am modeling deformation of a simple triangular shape, /\, which is constrained at one end and the other end is free to move on the x direction. There is a displacement loading on the top corner and the output is the reaction force on the y direction at the free end.

 I used Abaqus/ Standard and modeled this problem in 2D beam elements and 3D shell elements. The material is aluminum with plasticity and nonlinear geometry is on. 

Compressive Strength of Fabric??

I am trying to model a rubber impregnated fabric as rebar in Abaqus Standard. It seems that the rebar is only good in uniaxial tension load and it causes convergence problem in bending and compression loading. The fabric and rubber matrix has a compressive strength and that is critical to the model that I am analyzing. What would be a good approach to include compression on fabric rebar? The compressive strength of fabric matrix should be an order of magnitude lower than the tensile strength but I do not have a test data in compressive loading.

how to show the stress in the thickness direction when you use the shell element with abaqus

Submitted by hua_2001 on

hello,

  •      i simulate some process using shell elment, i find the results have big difference between abaqus and lsdyna. the abaqus results always show the stress in the thickness direction is zero. but the lsdyna is not. i don't know why? if some one know that, please give me some suggestions. i heard that the abaqus can not show that stress component. if not, how can i do to calculate that and fill it into the results file (.fil file). thank you!
