    Linear Perturbation - Buckle: Torsion on Cylinder

    Hello, I'm trying to determine the critical torque required to buckle a hyperelastic cylinder after stretch and internal pressure utilizing the linear perturbation buckle feature. I will include my CAE file but basically I have a hyperelastic cylinder and I perform the following procedures in...

    Stretch then add material

    Hello, I have a hollow cylinder that I would like to first stretch and then add material (like corrosion built up in a stretched pipe). My question is how do i add the material after stretching. This will be done in Abaqus 6.8 CAE Thanks!

    Kinematic Coupling Problem

    I am trying to apply rotation to one face of a cylinder. I am familiar with the kinematic coupling feature and can set a ref point as a control point and set the face of the cylinder as the constrained region (either as a node or surface works). I then apply rotation to the reference point as...

    Shell Rotation

    Hello, I am attempting to rotate a cylindrical shell. One face is fixed and I am trying to apply rotation to the opposite face. I first tried this by applying a BC around the axial axis to the desired face. I also tried applying a moment to this same face. This also did not work. This step in...

    Applying Pressure with Kinematic Coupling

    Here is what I have: A slightly curved hollow cylinder (curve to allow for imperfection) A reference point at each face with an applied kinematic coupling. All DOF are constrained. I first stretch the cylinder by applying the appropriate BC to each ref point. No problem I then want to be...

    Linear vs Constant Pressure in Element Type

    I am modeling a Fully incompressible 3D cylinder in Abaqus 6.8.3. I have chosen to use a tet element type. Once I am in the element type I then choose my geometric order as quadratic. I realize the hybrid box needs to be checked and it states "A 10-node quadratic tetrahedron, hybrid, constant...

    View Cut Question

    I have a cylinder which due to the simulation has unwanted edge effects at both ends. I would like to be able to cut the left AND right side off so that only the middle portion remains. The spherical cut method is not an option. Anyone know how to accomplish this?

    Kinematic Coupling applied to a hollow cylinder - will not converge

    Here is what I have: I modeled a hollow cylinder and fixed one of the bases. I created a Ref Point on the longitudinal axis of the cylinder just outside the opposite base. I then applied a kinematic coupling to this base/RP combo and under constraints checked all DOF. Unlike the BC's, this...

    Applying a moment couple to ends of a cylinder

    I'm trying to twist a cylinder by applying a moment to each end in opposite directions. The error message I recieve tells me that there are Inactive DOF for which BC are specified. I tried not using any BC's just to see what it would tell me and I still get the same error. I was able to get...
