Hi, I have a challenge with modeling rotational stiffness of my model. Attached is a picture of the model. I want to change the rotational stiffness for the z-rotation in the joint between the four shells/panels. How can I do this in Abaqus? kind regards K

Hi, I'm modeling a room subjected to a uniform pressure applied instantaneous (blast). I have modeled 1/4th of the model due to symmetry. I know from testing that the core material of the panels fail a distance from the corner, while the faces still are intact. My question is how can I model...

Hi, I'm trying to calculate the equivalent thicknesses of the elements in a composite sandwich compared to a steel plate with steel stiffeners (three types of stiffener: flatbar, tbar and angle) How do I do this? Krish

Hi, I hope someone can help me with this. I'm analysing Monolithic glass vs Laminated glass. I'm looking at a window of the size 800x1600mm. The monolithic is 8mm thick. The laminate consists of glass faces and is glued together with PVB. The laminate is 4+0.76+4mm. Isotropic Glass material...

Hi, I need a script that writes x,y and z coordinates for each node into a .txt file. I would like it to write it like this: 1, x, y, z 2, x, y, z Can anyone help me with this? Krish

I have a question regarding the use of shell elements vs solid elements in the FEA of welds. Some say that the shell elements don't give as good results for the peak stress as the solid elements. But shell give okay results for the nominal stress. Any comments/experience on this? K

Hi, I'm modelling a beam in Abaqus with conventional shells and the properties are set with Composite Layup. The faces are 45/-45 plies with a core material. When viewing the stresses or strains in a composite material ie. S11 or S22 they are presented in the same direction as the material...

Hi, I'm trying to calculate the Section Modulus for the beam cross-section presented in the attachment. Can anyone please assist? krish

Hi, I'm modelling sandwich beams in Abaqus. I have these material properties for the: - face: E1,E2, E3, G12, G31, G23, nu12, nu13 and nu23 - face: density, volume fraction, thickness, area mass - core: E1,E2, E3, G12, G31, G23, nu12, nu13 and nu23 How do I model this in Abaqus? I believe I...

Hi, What does this error message mean? Traceback (most recent call last): File "Python/monitorMechanism.py", line 437, in __processCB xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: xml declaration not at start of external entity: line 2, column 0 Traceback (most recent call last): File...

Hi, I am wondering it is possible to get abaqus to write the weight of a structure or even better a weight distribution of a structure in a output file?
