Hello,
I have to model a 3D metallic structure in which several (around 30) slave surfaces are in contact with several master surfaces (around 30 too).
I use "hard contact" for normal behaviour and "penalty" for tangential behaviour.
Each slave surface is composed of approximately 10 000 3D...
Thanks for the answer,
I know that linear tetrahedron are really too stiff, however with quadratics like C3D10M I get good results (but the computing time is high). Besides, i read that for plasticity and contact, the modified tetrahedral (and triangular) elements are better to avoid shear and...
Hello,
I'm using the "coupled temperature-displacement" procedure for creep with two kinds of elements :
-C3D10MT
-C3D4T (where the Von Mises stress is low) to reduce the computing time.
My problem is that Abaqus gives me this error message :"the selected geometry order will introduce an...
Hello everyone,
I try to model in 2D a part under isostatic pressure which means I need to put a pressure in the direction 3 too.
However with Generalized plane strain elements it is only possible to put a concentrated load on the reference point.
Does someone know how i could enforce an axial...
