ABAQUS

Hi,

Im really quite new to using abaqus and I am having trouble with my modelling.  Esentially it is quite an easy problem but my knowledge of the programme is limitted.  Basically all I want to model is an impact load on a wall but im not sure about the analysis steps.  Initially i have been using a static step with a concentrated load but I dont know how to model the dynamic response the wall should experience after the load has been applied.

If anyone can help with this I would appreciate it a lot.

    This days, I am working on the dynamics analysis using the Abaqus. the implicit dynamic integration method in abaqus is HHT-alpha. I found that a very strange parameter about the method is the half-step residual tolerance . I don't know the parameter is whether important or not and how to determine it.

thank you very much :)

Hi,




I am using cohesive elements to model the interface around a
circular inclusion. First I used Abaqus/standard I got proper results
but when I used same values with an amplitude curve (tabular, linearly
applied) to apply load quasi-statically in Abaqus/Explicit, I could not get a converged
solution. Field variables are oscillating and elements getting
distorted excessively. In Abaqus/Explicit I am applying load very
slowly but even though same problem persists.

Hi Everyone,

I am doing a project in which I am trying to study about the
drilling of composite. The aim is to optimize the drill and process
parameters to minimize the damage. For this I have tried to simulate
the drilling process in ABAQUS and I am using the Hashin damage model.
The problem is that Hashin damage model works only for the lamina which
takes only plane stress elements. Since only plane elements are allowed
I am unable to simulate cutting action of drill as the composite plate
is effectively 2D.

Hi,



I've been trying to apply a displacement to a body in an implicit model using equally spaced amplitudes.
