yes, I'm quite sure. In the steps I compare, I only put some pressure on the parts. First I calculated the problem statically and then qausi-statically in explicit. -It_s a contact problem

Thinking about it, it is also strange because reduced Integration elements are used, and therefore the stresses should be smaller.

Hi guys, can anyone explain to me why the stresses calculated in Expicit are greater than the ones in Standard when doing a quasistatix analysis? Is it because the mass is taken into regard? Thanx, navigator

Hi Corus, thanx for your reply, so would the input file be like that? *HEADING ** Job name: myjob Model name: mymodel *RESTART, READ, END STEP *STEP,name=mystep *DYNAMIC, EXPLICIT , .1 *RESTART, WRITE, NUMBER INTERVAL=1 ** ** FIELD OUTPUT: F-Output-1 ** *Output, field, variable=PRESELECT **...

Hi guys, can anyone explain to me how to restart an explicit-analysis? What I do is: -take the original Input file with all the steps and loads, upload it into CAE -then go to load module, and input in the field dialog box an initial state from the aborted calculation -then write a new input...

Hi guys, I'm having big time trouble analysing a soft layer being pessed together by two hard parts (contact) and then the upper part being traccioned to one side, so that friccion forces act between the layers. The problem is, that there are up to 1000 eigenvalues and the soft layer elements...

Hi guys, I've got a problem understanding my Abaqus Explicit results. I apply on one face of my part a dicplacement condition, say 50 mm and let that step run in Explicit. In the contour plot at the end of the step, I print the output for the displacement in that same direction at that same...

Hey everybody, I'm trying to model gasket material (FEM) but don't know, it's properties. Can anyone help me out on that and give me at least some "out of experience"-values? What I know about the material is that its an elastomer (NBR) filled with carbon fibers, which are oriented as a result...

Hi guys, I've read already quite a lot on how to avoid Negative Eigenvalues in contact problems and tried to consider all the advices in my simulation but this problem still occurs. What I do is put a normal load on one piece in one step and then apply a traction load. The eigenvalue - problem...

thanx, xerf!

I'll try my question in a separate thread, maybe anyone can anwer it. I read abaqus documentation a couple of times now, but haven't quite gotten it wether to use hybrid elements for an elastomeric material or rather reduced integration elements. The material is subjected to shear forces, would...

so corus Ihave read the "book" og abaqus documentation a couple of times now, but haven't quite gotten it wether to use hybrid elements for an elastomeric material or rather reduced integration elements. The material is subjected to shear forces, would that do some hourglassing effect, or does...

well thanx for your answers everybody!

Hi guys, I've got a question on something I noticed after doing a calculation. When I look at the results in the contour plot at one location one element displays entirely different than the surrounding ones. To make myself clearer: I have calculated a contact problem with friction. Then the...

it's a bit late, but thanx for the answers guys! I'm gonna try - didn't have time yet to do so. navigator
