infinite elements
infinite elements
(OP)
Hi all,
I am running a soil-pile dynamic explicit simulation and using the infinite elements to simulate the unbounded soil boundaries. When I was doing the implicit solution, I used to model soil and infinity as two separate parts then make an inp file including both parts in the assembly and used to change the element type for the part infinity to infinite elements and tie this two parts together before running the analysis. However, in explicit solver when I try to tie, program gives error.
1. What is the way to get rid of this error?
2. How can assign infinite elements to a segment of a part, while the others segments are regular finite elements?
any help will be appreciated.

RE: infinite elements
Did you find how to go around with this
problem?
RE: infinite elements
unfortunately, I couldnt make any progress about this.
will post as soon as I gog any update.

2. Did you try to partition the part in CAE ?

Maybe you need to check whether you need to change the node order as well when you change the element type into infinite elements.

Is there any progress about this topic?
RE: infinite elements
What I have figured out is that if you segment the element in explicit scheme into FE and infinite element parts (without using tie) it works.
Cheers,
RE: infinite elements
I want to apply infinite elements in the ABAQUS/Standard.
Could you please, explain in-detail how to assign infinite elements?
Thanks
