software

Hi All,

Do you know why some finite element softwares can not solve free-free vibrations of many applications unless you fix at least one degree of freedom ?

In this case I do not see how they are able to analyze free-free structures as planes.

Hi everyone

i work on a bio mechanic project. i am going to simulate a mandible bone
with implant. at first i want to use Materialise Mimics V10 to convert Ct Scan
data of a mandible without implant to a 3D model. i thought i could edit
the exported file on the other software (Ansys or Abaqus) to add the
implant. but, exported file from mimics can not have any edit .Actually
it has not volume and i need to have a 3D solid model. please help me !

I want to model a fiber rod pull out process in Abaqus. The fiber is a composite rod which is to be debonded first from the surrounding laminate and need to be sliding along the interface of the rod/laminate.

Modelling:

i created an axisymmetric model of the rod being surrounded by the laminate. i got the residual stress due to curing process. This residual stress is compressive at the interface which is responsible for resisting the pull out force applied at first.

loading:

Axial pull is applied at one end of the rod. and the other end being fixed.

Hi all,

I am working on modelling a reinforced concrete bfoundation in ANSYS and am trying to model the concrete material. Does anyone have a good idea of how i could go about this?

Thanks for your help.

Hi there

I started to
work with Abaqus and I want to simulate spinning process. In this process I
need to rotate rigid mandrel and holder along with a deformable sheet. Sheet is
held between mandrel and holder in the simulation and they all rotate with the
same rotational speed. I used Abaqus-Explicit to model this process. I faced
several problems which I mention when I use a solid sheet (not shell):

Dear all,

hi,

I'm a newbie in Abaqus, but I think I have a great passion to explore this software a bit deeper. One problem is coming when I try to install Abaqus 6.11-2 on Windows 8 64bit operating system. It stuck on the pre-installation system check, and when I click on Next, the installation has topped. Has anyone got the same problem like these? Need a little help to solve this problem. Thank you
