Material library help
(OP)
Hi, friends,
I have been working on FEA for a while. I've found material properties the hardest thing to set up.
Could anyone like to suggest an advanced material library?
For example: equation of state, material failure, etc.
Thank you......

RE: Material library help
please tell me what do you exactly wanna do?
do you mean a plugin for ABAQUS, sets up material properties?

RE: Material library help
A plugin will be great. A databass is also good.
Just wanted to set up correct material properties. I've found it hard.
Thanks.

RE: Material library help
How do you use test data to set up your material?
How do you plan the test?
Do I have to test real material every time?
Do you believe the results in material property point of view?

RE: Material library help
do you have any experience on python scripting?
it can be a good job..
Good Luck,

RE: Material library help
- what materials are you modeling?
- do you need elastic (stress-strain) properties, or strength properties?
- what type of material models: linear, plastic, viscoelastic, ??
RE: Material library help
SWComposites: every material properties that ABAQUS supports.

RE: Material library help
To say that you define every material that Abaqus supports is incorrect as Abaqus is a general purpose program and hence could support an infinite number of materials.

Abaqus 6.8 supports material libraries that is a good method of storing material definitions and re-use them in different analysis.

The point I want to make is that what data we should use. I did a water simulation using EOS (equation of state), material data was from internet (papers, articles, etc). But the result wasn't good. Water itself shrink a great deal after I apply gravity on it. It is just wrong.
It is often hard to judge the quality of the material data. And it is hard to know what material property should use too.
