I am having some trouble meshing a merged part and would like to hear of a few strategies on how to approach/solve my issue. I am trying to make a unit cell model of a 3D weave composite structure. I first created the unit cell’s fiber architecture by compressing a previous model and taking its...
Hello,
A little over 2 months ago I posted a thread asking for help with a model that I was working on that dealt with fabric compression (Original Thread: http://eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=255686&page=1). Since then I have slowly inched closer at a solution but have yet to fully compress...
I am having trouble with getting my model to converge during a static, general contact problem. Does anyone have any tips/suggestions? I have tried to reduce the initial and min. increment values but I have gone as far as I can compute (e-40) and received an error message stating the increment...
Hello All,
Does anyone have any suggestions/tips on preventing penetration between two deformable bodies during a hard contact analysis?
The follow thread contains additional information on the problems set up: http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=255686&page=1
When I view the results...
Hello All,
I have recently started working with Abaqus and have been assigned the task pertaining to 3D composite materials from the unit cell size level. We have used an outside program to import the exact unit cell model into Abaqus, so all the preprocessing is completed. The problem lies...
