Dear friends,
A new version of Abaqus2Matlab has just been released and I hope that it is of interest to you.
This new release constitutes a very significant step forward in the development of this well-known software to connect Abaqus and Matlab.
Abaqus2Matlab is now offered as an...
A novel piece of software is presented to connect Abaqus with Matlab. This interface between these well-known codes not only benefits from the image processing and the integrated graph-plotting features of Matlab but also opens up new opportunities in results post-processing, statistical...
Hello
Probably this is a stupid question, however, I can not find any information related in the web. I am modeling a tensile test by means of axysimmetrical elements and I need to obtain the Force vs displacement curve. I model only half of the specimen (there is symmetry on the x axis and...
Dear colleagues,
I am curious about the criterion employed by ABAQUS regarding the interpolation of the nodal temperature vaues within each finite element. As most of you already know, the temperature field specified by the user gives temperature values to the nodes and afterwards ABAQUS...
Hello to everyone
It is my first time using crack propagation with X-FEM in ABAQUS.
I see that ABAQUS models moving cracks with a cohesive segments method and phantom nodes. I have read that you need to specify a damage initiation criterion (maximum principal stress) and a damage evolution...
Hello everyone,
I am doing a FE analysis with ABAQUS 6.9 of a notched specimen (fracture mechanics). In order to record the singularity at the crack tip I mesh the crack tip with collapsed elements. Because of this, my mesh contains regular quadratic elements and modified quadratic triangle...
Good afternoon to everyone
I am trying to reproduce numerically with ABAQUS 6.9 an experiment of quasi-static crack initiation and propagation under mixed mode loading in planar (two dimensional plane stress) of single edge notched tension specimens. The geometry is very simple but it's the...
Good afternoon to everyone
I am developing in ABAQUS 6.9 a material with varying elastic properties. For that, I was thinking in provide a elastic modulus variation by assuming temperature dependent modulus and providing the material with an initial temperature distribution to match the elastic...
Good evening to everyone.
This is my first message here and I hope I can help others the same way they help me.
I´m trying to develop an Edge cracked especimen geometry in 2D. It's a plate with dimensions 90x70x0.045mm. and it has an inclined crack in the edge (although it was applied...
