Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials now accepts MATLAB figure files

Submitted by Laure Ballu on

You can enrich your online articles by providing supplementary MATLAB figure files with the .FIG file extension. These files will be visualized using an interactive viewer that allows readers to explore your figures within the context of the article. The FIG files can be uploaded in our online submission system, and will also be available for downloading from your online article on SciVerse ScienceDirect.

Run ABAQUS subroutines written in Fortran

Submitted by Jingwen Zhang on

Dear colleagues,

 I am a beginner in using ABAQUS subroutines, and currently come into the problem of running ABAQUS subroutines written in Fortran.

I have installed ABAQUS 6.11-1, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, and Intel Visual Fortran Studio XE 2011 on my computer. However, when I run the test codes, there are the following errors:

Abaqus,How to define the direction of beam element by specifying an additional node?

Submitted by speedeagle on

When I analyze a quiet complex spatial structure, error information warn that: the direction of the beam element is
not correct.

From abaqus document 26.3.4 I know we can
nominate the direction of beam element by adding additional node.It is clear
that this node should be off the axis of the element,any additional constrians?

May I define a random node in the space
which is far far away from my structure, then I add this node as unique
additional node?

Continous orthotropic fiber direction in ansys

Dear Friends,

 I am going to simulate a wavy orthotropic fiber in an isotropic media with  ansys workbench. The fiber is solid and the material direction of fiber needs to be changed continously with the fiber direction. I attached the model. I will appreciate if any body can give me an idea?

 

 Kind Regards,

Good day to everyone....

Im new in the abaqus user... im here got some problem in my beginner stage:

 (i) what the units used in the abaqus? how can i ckeck it? 

(ii) what is means of the approximate size?

(iii) we can put the vertical load and horizontal load, but how i can put the load with the angle such as (10kN in 30o) 

(iv) how can i do if i want do the looping in my analysis, such as:
