    ABAQUS Subroutine Question - Problem during compilation - DLOAD.for

    Dave1231... I am also getting the same error when compiling subroutines.. Have you managed to solve it? See below.. C:\temp>abaqus make library=uniFiber.for Abaqus JOB uniFiber.for Begin Compiling Single Precision Abaqus/Explicit User Subroutines 3/20/2011 9:20:11 PM End Compiling Single...

    RESIDUAL PROJECTILE VELOCITY? abaqus explicit high velocity impact.

    Solved.. I was defining a boundary condition rather than an initial condition. I was imposing a velocity on my projectile rather than applying an initial velocity.

    RESIDUAL PROJECTILE VELOCITY? abaqus explicit high velocity impact.

    To anyone that can help, I am modelling a projectile impacting a ductile metal plate (Titanium)... A picture of the output of my model at the moment is shown here: http://s1126.photobucket.com/albums/l611/lukio_3/ My problem is the velocity of the projectile. Once the projectile hits the...

    Rigid spherical projectile impacting ductile plate.

    I have built a model of a rigid projectile sphere (R3D4 elements), impacting 2 Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) plates. I have used Johnson Cook to model the damage. The job runs and solves fine and I think the result is reasonable. However in the simulation in the visualization module the failed elements...

    simple composite plate. 'too many attempts made for this increment'

    Thanks for your reply Rob. I had modelled a quarter of the plate and applied X-symmetry and Y-symmetry boundary conditions. I am using continuum shells with SC8R elements. I have since realised my problem... I applied my X-symmetry where my Y-symmetry should have been and my Y-symmetry where...

    simple composite plate. 'too many attempts made for this increment'

    Hi I am modelling a 16ply (45/0/-45/90)2s laminate in Abaqus and am having real trouble getting to a solution under very simple loading conditions. I have simply fixed a flat plate of the laminate at one edge and then attempted to apply a force at the other end. Under no loading conditions have...

    How to display pre-processor printout?

    Hi this is probably an easy one... can anyone tell me how to view the pre-processor printout in abaqus. I have selected 'print model definition data' in the 'General' Tab whilst creating my Job but don't know how to view the actual printout once the job is submitted. Any reply appreciated. Luke
