    How to determine G12 if I have E1, E2 and v12?

    I intend to work with Composites in my simulations. I have a rough idea of the E1, E2 and the v12 properties I wish to use. With this, is it possible to predict the G12 (in-plane shear modulus) that should be defined in the FEA simulation to ABAQUS? Is there a method similar to the isotropic...

    ABAQUS error - 'Node set assembly_left_rp' has not been defined

    Hello, I try to apply a loading on a reference point. But I hit the following error message - ' Node set assembly_left_rp has not been defined' 'A concentrated load has been specified on node set assembly_left_rp . This node set is not active in the model '. But I have a RP and the a...

    What is XFEM

    Hello community, I am trying to use XFEM for my Fracture simulations in ABAQUS. I find it difficult to grasp at first glance. Can anyone please explain XFEM in simpler words for me? Can I use XFEM in place of VCCT or the Cohesive approach? Under what cases can I use XFEM?

    Purpose of Reaction Force in ABAQUS

    I read about the Reaction force output in ABAQUS. It is available as a history output. What is this and how to use this output? What information does this output variable tell me even?
