cyclic loading

Hi,

I started modelling the
behaviour of the reinforced concrete walls under cyclic loading using
ABAQUS/Explicit.  I used a shell element part with solid homogeneous
section and defined the concrete behaviour using concrete damaged plasticity
material definition. Embedded truss elements were used to define the steel
rebars. In 2 different steps (left and right) I defined the cyclic loading (in
plane) as imposed displacement (using amplitude-smooth step).

My question are:

angle-ply laminated plate model

Submitted by kmza on
software
ABAQUS

I am trying to built a model for a laminated angle-plied plate, which has different fibres orientation in each plate. But I have a problem in materilas property as the Abaqus told me after analysis andmake error. The error is that the properties of the model in not assigned well. I have assign them as shell composite and make the local co-ordinate orientation.

I have tried to use homogeneous material and enter the Engineering contants in all directions and by just changing the local axis orintation, it works. But I don't know if this is right or not.

Need advice plz

Display Group Option in ABAQUS

Submitted by ravitejk4u on
ABAQUS

Hi everyone

can anyone tell me how to use "display group" option in ABAQUS.

i have to find the total reaction force of set of all nodes on a particular surface. i had tried many times using "display group" option. but couldnt succeded.

or is there any other option to get the data from those set of nodes on a surface.  we have this kind of option in ANSYS, but what will the corresponding feature in ABAQUS.

Please help me in this regard. 

 

cheers

ABAQUS

ABAQUS is a suite of powerful general purpose engineering simulation programs based on the finite element method.

1.1 Features

Abaqus contains an extensive library of elements that can model virtually any geometry. 

You may import geometry from a many different CAD software packages.

ABAQUS

Hi

I want to model an End Notched Flexure (ENF) specimen in ABAQUS for

studying the mode II fracture behaviour in laminated composites.



I have modeled the problem using shell elements and continuum shell

elements.



To prevent the two legs from penetration, I have examined almost all

of connector types (in ABAQUS/CAE) and also contact types but the

results have not been satisfactory.
