    Wang-Brown multiaxial fatigue cycle counting code

    Hi, Any body here has Wang-Brown multiaxial fatigue cycle counting code writen in Fortran or C or any links? The method was published in 1996, (Wang and Brown, life prediction techniques for variable amplitude multiaxial fatigue, Journal of Engineering Material and Technology) and has been...

    How to generate cohesive element from CAE

    Hi, Everyone: Can I generate cohesive elements with CAE or input file from the boundaries of finite elements which has already been generated in CAE? I want to put some cohesive elements in between finite elements using Abaqus/Explicit V.6.6-1, most probably with zero thickness. Thus I can...

    Why orphan mesh separated from finite elements

    Hi,Group: I am simulating the fragmentation process by embedding cohesive elements into finite element boundaries. I am using the method "Embedding cohesive element in an existing 3-d mesh" as suggested in the Manual. The procedure I am undergoing is that I first created the orphan...

    How to simulate crack formation at mesh edges

    Hi, Group, I want to model the fragmentation process of material under impact in which the path of cracks is unknown in advance. The ideal situation should be that cracks initiate at mesh edges and propagate when a criterion met, then the network of cracks will be simulated automatically. The...

    Cohesive element deletion using status

    Dear all, I am strugling with displaying the deleted cohesive elements by using STATUS. The problem is the delamination of composite material under impact and Abaqus 6.6/explicit are being used. The keywords I used is listed below. Since the default of the ELEMENT DELETION is YES the the...
