Hi, I'm doing a research on influence of localized corrosion on steel structural members. I need to model a steel element to extract stress strain curve for the localize corrosion parameter. Can anyone give me an idea to how to do it?

I would start from examining scientific articles. There are several papers on this topic where different approaches to pitting corrosion modeling are used. Most authors simply model already developed pits as holes in the specimen. Then they evaluate the reduction in strength, stiffness or fatigue life due to these holes. Some however introduce complex damage models via user material subroutines to account for actual growth of pits and perform fracture mechanics simulations.
To extract stresses and strains you can either request them as history output for specified set or export in postprocessing (using Report —> Field Output or Query —> Probe Values).

Modern cars, trucks, and other vehicles feature an ever-increasing number of sophisticated electrical and electronic features, placing a larger burden on the wiring harness that enables these new features. As complexity rises, current harness manufacturing methods are struggling to keep pace due to manual data exchanges and the inability to capture tribal knowledge. A model-based wire harness manufacturing engineering flow automates data exchange and captures tribal knowledge through design rules to help harness manufacturers improve harness quality and boost efficiency.

This paper will focus on the quantification of the complexity related costs in harness variations in order to model them, allowing automated algorithms to optimize for these costs. A number of real world examples will be provided as well. Since no two businesses are alike, it is the aim of this paper to provide the foundational knowledge and methodology so the reader can assess their own business to model how variation complexity costs affect their business.
