    Car Airbag Deployment Simulation

    Hi Akabarten, Thanks a lot. Thank you very very much. It works. You have got amazing knowledge of Abaqus. Please tell me what resources/books/websites etc. should I use to get in-depth knowledge of FEA, Abaqus like you? You mentioned that- s recommended to use three node membrane elements...

    Car Airbag Deployment Simulation

    Hi Akabarten, Thank you very very much for sharing the files. It was a great help. I reduced the pressure of my airbag and now it looks like an airbag. But at the end of simulation my airbag shrinks. Will you please check my file and let me know why is it happening so? Is it because of the...

    Car Airbag Deployment Simulation

    Hi Akabarten, I was able to inflate my airbag. But my airbag looks like a balloon instead of an airbag. Why is it so? Does my inflator is very strong? or my airbag size is too small? I tried to reduce the gas mass flow rate to the half, but it gave me the following error: **The fluid inflator...

    Car Airbag Deployment Simulation

    Hi, I want to learn a car airbag deployment simulation using Abaqus. It would be great help if any of you please share .inp and .cae file with me if you had already worked on it. My intention is to learn how to create an airbag model, define the required properties, inflate it using Abaqus...

    How to define Anisotropic Material in Abaqus?

    Hi IceBreakerSours, Thank you for replying. I just gave an example of wood as an anisotropic material. Wood is not matter of my interest. I just want to know how to calculate all those 21 constants for any composite material. Also, I have been thoroughly searching on google about calculation of...

    Brick element unit cell for honeycomb structure

    Hi everyone, I wanted to know what can be the unit cell for a honeycomb structure made up of brick elements. I have found the unit cell, but I am sure about it. Whether it is right or wrong? (I have attached the image of unit cell). Can anyone guide me to get a correct unit cell for honeycomb...

    How to define Anisotropic Material in Abaqus?

    Hello Everyone, I am working on a project where in I want to define anisotropic (composite) material in Abaqus software. I found that to define anisotropic material we need to input 21 different values (D1111, D1122, D2222, D1133,......., D2323)in the Abaqus. These 21 values must be the...
