The ADINA System offers comprehensive capabilities for linear and nonlinear finite element analysis of solids & structures, CFD, fluid-structure interactions, multiphysics, and complete pre- and post-processing with interfaces to various CAD and CAE systems. It also offers user subroutines for material models, elements, loads...

Abaqus, bridge-truck analysis.... help

Submitted by entalto on

Hi everyone!

I need advice, I have to carry out a bridge-truck interaction analysis in ABAQUS FOR CATIA. I don´t know where I can start, the thing is that now I´m going to try doing it, in a simplified model in order to don´t loose time.

Can you help me? Can you give me some advices? how to model de truck? I need more or less precission on the bridge not in the truck. I know how to modelice the bridge, the type of element, the meshing, the connectors... but what I don´t know is how to manage Explicit,

Ansys Ls-Dyna

I am using
Ansys Ls-Dyna to solve a case where a rigid indentor in the shape of bow
penetrates double skinned structural models. I want to use UPF (User
Programmable Features)
in order to define a custom failure criterion. From the “Guide
to Ansys User Programmable Features” I read that the specific subroutine (usrfc6)
for defining custom failure criteria is available only with shell99, solid46
and shell91
. However in Ansys Ls-Dyna, the user cannot use neither of the above
shell elements. The only shell element that is used in explicit dynamics is
shell163. Is there any way to program or use my failure criterion in Ansys
