Hi all,
I think the title says it all but, I know that one can use CSTATUS to detect whether or not elements are in contract. But I was wondering if there is variable/method in Abaqus to extract the surface area in contact over elements with a CSTATUS other than 'not in contact'.
Thanks a lot...
Dear all,
I would like to model a closed cavity with incompressible hydrostatic fluid inside.
The cavity is deformed in the interaction between the internal fluid being which is increased in volume by adding new water (at a known rate) and the external elastic interactions. The pressure is...
Hi, Dear colleagues and co-enthusiasts!
I am relatively new to Solidworks. So, apologies for my ignorance in advance.
My questions is that, I have made a surface model in Solidworks using lofted surfaces option. I want to import this into Abaqus as shell and use 3D shell elements for it...
Hi All,
I am new to considering dynamics of fluids in a model. I am learning of the ways Abaqus can handle fluid-solid interaction. By fluid I definitely dont mean hydrostatic as that can be handled in Abaqus/Standard.
I already have practiced a few examples in Eulerian-Lagrangian domain...
Hello everybody,
I am new to Abaqus CEL. I am modeling a simple cylindrical container under pressure that contains an incompressible fluid with a pressure above the external pressure. Then I use damage evolution to get a progressive crack (elastic) in the container and I want to see how fluid...
Hello all,
I am a somewhat experienced Abaqus user but utterly new to XFEM or damage mechanics in general. My goal is to model rupture of a pressurized membrane. For that I decided to use XFEM capability of Abaqus. I have managed to make a simple model of a plate rupture under axial loading...
