Hello at all,

 

I have some serious issues with some of my models in Abaqus 6.14. I need to simulate shear failure to investigate the influence of concrete strength and fracture energy on the size effect. So far, everything went good. I calculated almost 100 models without any problem with exactly the same model (only materials changed). But: For the combination of concrete strength fck=50MPa and a fracture energy of Gf=60N/m or Gf=80N/m, the calculations will stop after a short time although the .odb file shows only some minor bending cracks in the beam

Open-Access Paper: Transient thermal finite element analysis of CFC-Cu ITER monoblock using X-ray tomography data

Submitted by Simpleware on

 

This Creative Commons article in Fusion Engineering and Design investigates the thermal performance of a fusion power heat exchange component by analysing microstructures obtaiend using X-ray tomography. Simpleware software was used as part of an image-based modelling workflow that involved microstructurally faithful finite element analysis of how manufacturing defects affect performance.
