    Embedded foundation in ABAQUS

    Hello Everyone, I am modeling foundation to study the effect of embedment depth in the soil. The loads are pure horizontal, vertical, and moment. In addition to combine of them and they are applied as displacement control. First of all, I validated my model with the literature but was for...

    Dealing with STL files

    Hello everyone, I have an STL file for a complex geometry and I want to analysis it as a part within the soil. I know that STL files can be imported into ABAQUS. I would appreciate If anyone can help me to answer these questions : 1. When I am importing it, it generate a new model; Can I import...

    Determination of Failure for foundations

    Hello All, I am modelling an embedded foundation with ABAQUS subjected to loads combinations applied as the follow steps: 1. A constant vertical loads is applied. 2. Apply Horizontal displacement at the reference point until failure. 3. Apply a rotation until failure. How can I determine the...

    Mesh Problem

    Hello Users, Can such this meshing makes like a convergence issue in the model. I am applying a load on foundation. It is working with small loads, however when increasing the load to higher loads it is not converging the solution. Thanks,

    Convergence Error

    Hello Everyone, I am modeling soil-foundation interaction with the use of ABAQUS Standard Solver. The foundation is modeled as a rigid body with applying displacement at the reference point. To give you an idea about the model, in the model I have to apply displacement and rotation on the...

    ABAQUS RUNNING ERROR

    Hello esteemed ABAQUS users, Can anyone help! my model is not running and give me this error and warnings. The contact surface in the warning in a bottom and side surfaces of the foundations. I tried to suppress the contact and see if the problem will be solved, the model run partially and...

    CONTACT IN MERGED PARTS

    Hello Users, I am trying to mesh a foundation-soil interaction using two parts and the foundation is a solid embedded part in soil. I am starting modeling with simple cylindrical foundation but the geometry of the foundation after that will be more complex using elliptical foundation. So, I am...

    ABAQUS IS NOT RUNNING THE MODEL

    Hello esteemed ABAQUS Users, If any one can help me. I am trying to model foundation-soil interaction in a 3D model with ABAQUS. I modeled them as two parts. However, while meshing, I see that there is no compatibility between the foundation part mesh and the soil mesh as shown in the photo. Is...
