Dear all,
I have a strange situation here with Abaqus. Hope someone has an answer for this puzzle.
Just imagine you have a very soft rubber ball, in your hand palm down, hanging under gravity. And you want to model how the ball would deform if you turned your hand upside down, palm up. You...
Dear all,
The abaqus manual says you should use quadratic (instead of linear) elements when modelling contact. But if i use quadratic the model becomes too big and Abaqus crashes.
Was wondering, whats your experience with this? Is is completely necessary to use quadratic elements?
Thanks in...
Dear people,
Im trying to model contact between an analytical rigid part and an hyperelastic structure. Theres a first step before that that doesnt involve contact, only gravity.
I'm using C3D10MH elements but when i run the first step, Abaqus (run in parallel in a cluster) crashes with no...
Dear all,
I'm trying to model contact in the following case:
an irregular cylinder, 2 parallel plates, one on top and one below the cylinder; the one below has 0 displacements prescribed and the one on top is subject to a traction force; the edge of the cylinder is encastred (to the wall...
Dear all,
im having trouble when putting parts together before contact and wonder if anyone out there can help! The idea of "nudging" them together, using displacemente BC has been mentioned here but i can't make it work!
I'm working in A/Standard. I have 2 parts, one rigid and one non-rigid...
Dear all,
I know this has been asked here before, but, has anyone found a way to get the geometry out of a 3D orphan mesh?
I'm working on Biomechancs, get the images from a Magnetic Resonance Image, can mesh the structure somwhere else but need to add a tumour to simulate its effect.
I've...
hi ppl!
I've created a tiny volume and the area around it by cutting a cube around the volume. I defined sets before meshing and there was no problem with meshing both.
When I add the constraint that the volume is embedded in the host, I get error messages "1532 nodes on an embedded element do...
