Hi, I have a simple model under a l

Hi, I have a simple model under a load. I want to find the load in which the von mises stress in one point in my model reaches a critical value. My model is a single pipe and the loading is internal gas pressure. I didn't find any tools in ABAQUS to define this criterion. How can I find this load? Should I employ a specific type of step or defining a damage? I have tried these methods but still I had no success.

RE: Hi, I have a simple model under a l

In the elastic region, stress is proportionate to load (assuming small deflection and no other non-linear effects). Use a unit load and then ratio the von Mises stress to yield to calculate the required load. Simples.

Thank you corus. No, My material and geomery are nonlinear. My material has hardening effects and I have introduced its stress-strain curve in plastic behavior in the program. what's your suggestion?

RE: Hi, I have a simple model under a l

Easiest:
Put a load larger than the one u expect, let abq write out a lot of timepoints, and just read it from the output (at time < 1).
If the material is not yet at yield, repeat with a higher load.

Pro:
use *EXTREME VALUE with HALT=YES

RE: Hi, I have a simple model under a l

Forgot to mention that option 2 is only for Abq/Explicit.
I don't know if there's something similar for standard.

Thanks sdebock. Can you explain the first option. you know I've already use it. But when I checked the reports I saw that the biggest mises stress is lower then the ultimate stress that I introduced by the stress-strain curve of my material. Another question: What does it mean? when I was checking mises stresses in rpt file it was mentioned that: "Loc 1 : Integration point values from source 1" and all numbers under the "Int Pt" were equal to 1?
