    3D Woven Composite Convert G31 to G13

    I have composite material properties for a 3D woven composite. We have all 3 E's, all 6 nu's they only have 3 G's specifically G12, G23 and G31. Abaqus requires G13 not G31. Is there a closed form solution to convert for this different convention? Thank you for your help. Rob Rob Stupplebeen...

    Modeling rope with contact for a prosthetic hand

    I am working on a project where joints are actuated by rope and bungee cords. Both of these are modeled with 3D splines because they follow a complex path. Can someone provide some best practices for this type of system? Ideally neither the the rope or bungee would support bending or...

    In this blog post I detail the installation of Abaqus and other DS products on Windows 10. Abaqus on Windows 10 Has anyone else had any experiences with Windows 10? So far I have found the upgrade to Windows 10 to be fairly seamless. Chrome is a major exception to this with frequent crashes...

    Biological Material Properties Database

    I routinely us matweb.com for non-biological materials such as plastics and metals. Is there a similar database for biological materials? My typical workflow is to research each tissue type individually usually finding relevant properties published in research articles. Depending on application...

    Best fit radius

    I am looking for an equation that will solve for the best fit weighted average radius for a conic surface. This is to correlate with our interferometer measurements. Currently we do this by a brute force method creating sag tables of the conic surface and a spherical surface and use solver to...

    Assembly auto color

    I was wondering if anyone has created a maco that will assign a unique part color to each part in an assembly. Ideally I would like it to traverse down in the order of the parts in the assembly with ROYGBIV as the first colors and then going from there with darker or lighter hues. Has anyone...
