TSHR output problem

Submitted by matejh on

Dear colleagues,

 

I have one question concerning the TSHR (transverse shear stresses) output request in application of Thick Shell S8R elements in Abaqus/standard. 

 

the follow qarning occurs:  Output request tshr is not available when *transverse shear stiffness is specified on the *shell section definition or a material in the shell has been defined without *elastic

 Can anybody please help with an advioce or two, on how to solve this?

 

all the best

 

Finite Element software Z-set : new web page

Submitted by Vladislav Yastrebov on

New web page of Finite Element Analysis software Z-set is now open: http://zset-software.com/

What is Z-set

Z-set is a computational code devoted to the analysis of material and
structure behavior, involving a finite element solver and a collection
of specific tools for material parameter calibration, preprocessing and
postprocessing computations. Z-set is the result of 30 years of close collaboration between the

UMAT Multi-element Error

Submitted by nibalog on

Hello All:

 

I have written a UMAT code to predict the viscoelastic behaviour within a
shape adaptive structure. I have followed similar steps used in Abaqus
subroutine manual, I have applied this UMAT to a single quad element and
it works as predicted. But when I apply it multiple elements model it
breaks down. 

Is there any special command i need to put in UMAT subroutine to account
multi element analysis? I will appreciate all related comments,

Abaqus - warning message: c3d4h elements will enforce vol .... use *tie

Dear iMechanica-User,

i habe  a general question according to Abaqus. I'm dealing with an biom. model of the breast and i  created the mesh with the toolbox iso2mesh (matlab) / c3d4h elements - each element has it's own youngs modulusand is therefore defined as singel solid section (per element), but all elements use the same node-list. Simulation is done by compression of the breast using two plates.

So here is the problem: i always get the warning message:
