Dear All,
I have been calculating Stress Intensity Factors with Abaqus and they compare very closely with close form solutions, for different mesh densities and element types. The question I have is: would anyone know which method does Abaqus use to calculate Ks? The Abaqus Theory Guide only...
Dear All,
First of all, thank you for reading this. I am new to Abaqus and especially Abaqus Explicit but have a lot of experience with FEM, implicit and explicit.
I am investigating using Abaqus explicit for the following application and I am running into a singular error.
I have two...
Hello,
I am having problems performing a non-linear static analysis with strain softening.
I cannot use any Structural -> Nonlinear -> Inelastic -> Rate Independent material models because they are all hardening models, and I get an error if I input a negative slope for one of the segments.
So...
Hello,
I am not able to apply moments to nodes of a 3D model. I tried using both SOLID 45 and SOLID 185. On a 2D model (using SHELL63) I had no problems applying moments to nodes.
Is there a particular reason why it is not possible to apply moments to nodes of 3D elements? Or am i doing...
