    Compression test

    I would like to simulate a compression test with an analytical rigid body (velocity) and a specimen with an encastre bottom. The arrow on the reference point indicates the correct direction of velocity. In the first time step the rigid body seems to slide on the surface of the specimen. There...

    Using UMAT?

    Hallo all I want to use the Zerilli Armstrong constitutive material equation to describe the material behaviour. I can't find it in ABAQUS. Maybe it is hidden somewhere in the program. I don't know. If it is not embedded I have to use UMAT, is that right. Is it very complex programming? Thank...

    Material properties

    In Abaqus there is a way to define Material properties. For example a plastic material with specific yield point. This yield stress is from tensile tests (uniaxial). My question is how does the program solve a triaxial stress state with this uniaxial parameter. I think it uses comparision...

    Displacement

    Hallo, I have created a sphere (3-D deform solid) 5mm above a steel block (3-D deform solid). I want to set the sphere onto the block (5mm down) and then add a force to the sphere. For the force I used 'body force'. Works very well. The problem is the displacement at the beginning. The program...

    Creating a sphere

    Hallo all, I'm a novice at ABAQUS 6.9 and have a little problem. I'm trying to create a sphere-model and it doesn't work. I hope the problem not too easy for you... It would be fine to get a response. Thank You
