    How to define an elasto-plastic material from XY data points

    Hi, I have read through the chapter in the manual about declaring a plastic material property, but I cannot seem to find how to define a non-linear elastic non-linear plastic material, for which I have XY data points (stress-strain) and I know the yield point. Using the plastic material...

    How does Abaqus interpolate material properties between two elements?

    Hi, How does Abaqus interpolate material properties between at the interface between two cells of different properties? I have read through much of the analysis manual on material but I cannot seem to find anything on how the interface between two different materials is treated. I have...

    Apply a force/displacement to a point on a deformable body

    Hi, How do i apply a force/displacement to a point on a deformable body? For example, my model (in 2D) is a deformable circle on a rigid ground, and I want to roll the circle along the ground. Thanks in advance for anyone's help, Philip

    What is the reference point on a rigid body for?

    Hi, What exactly is the reference point on a rigid body for? I am trying to do a contact model of a deformable solid with a rigid body sheet, but it won't let me run an analysis unless I define a reference point for the rigid body? In addition, it requires the rigid body sheet to have a mesh...

    Hertz Contact Stresses

    Hi, I have been trying to model a hemi-cylinder in contact with a brick in 2D, as in the hertz solution for contact stresses. I fix the bottom of the brick from moving and i apply a pressure to the top of the hemi-cylinder. But I keep getting two peak tensile stresses at the edge of the...

    Tips on simple 2D contact model

    Hi, I am quite new to abaqus, and am more familiar with finite volume methods. I am trying to create a 2D contact problem in abaqus (see attached pic). I am putting a uniform pressure on the top surface of the hemicircle and am constraining the bottom of the brick. I have ran a few different...

    How do you turn off the mesh when viewing results?

    Hi, I have quite a fine mesh a one point in my model, and i cannot see the stress distribution as the mesh is covering and it is just a black area. How do I turn off the mesh while viewing results? I have trawled for hours through all the options and cannot find one to turn it off or make it...
