Orthotropic Material properties in ABAQUS

Orthotropic Material properties in ABAQUS

(OP)
Hello everyone

according to ABAQUS user manual , for an orthotropic material with engineering constant we should define it this way :
while in some papers , there are simplifications like A12 , D12 and so are assumed as zero , I wanted to know according to the formulation that we have to follow by ABAQUS , can we enter some parameters zero and get the right result ?

RE: Orthotropic Material properties in ABAQUS

any Ideas ?

RE: Orthotropic Material properties in ABAQUS

No.

But then, what is "the right result"?

And even entering values for all of the parameters does not necessarily mean the model will produce "the right result"

Thank you , but could you elaborate please , when I have the values of A matrix as A11,A22,A66,D11 ,D22and D66 , are they equivalent with the values in Abaqus ? I mean the D1111 and so ? if not how are they converted ?

so ?
