    Really need help setting up my Abaqus model

    Okay, never mind I think I got it. Errors have stopped and the deformation looks a lot better. I'd be interested to hear your input though.

    Really need help setting up my Abaqus model

    Hey guys, I'm really running out of time with a course assignment and I need help setting up the model itself as I have no idea if it's even working as it should. Model is attached. Model description: Sheet of rubber 0.1m^2 and 0.01m thick is subjected to a uni-axial stretch ratio of...

    Symmetric boundary condition help

    Hello, I'm working on a hyperelastic model that consists of a sheet of rubber. It's undergoing uniaxial tension so there are 3 planes of symmetry which allows me to model only 1/8th of the sheet. (The sheet is cut into 4 sections and one of those sections is cut into 4 again) My question is...

    *friction card help

    Simple question really but I'm rather confused and I can't find the answer on the Abaqus user manual. *Friction 0.05, 1000 What are the two numbers? One is obviously the coefficient of friction but what is the other? Is the order the coefficient in the 1 and 2 direction? Thanks in advance...

    Periodic ultrasonic loading to output modal displacement? Need help!

    I am doing my MEng project on the modification of an Ultrasonic drill. The FEA model must analyse the collision of a ball bearing with the tip of a "horn" that is tuned to resonate at longitudinal mode at 20kHz. The horn is piece of metal driven by a transducer and looks like this: The narrow...
