Hi, I have solved a simulation in Ansys APDL. Its a bending simulation. A model holded on a support , then subjected to bending. On the support contact region, i have extracted the nodal forces (Structural forces [F] on the out of plane direction [Y] ) Now, i have a list of nodes and their...

HI all, I would like to know in which cases, we should consider looking into Principal stresses and IN which case, we should look into Normal stress ? An example illustration would be very helpful. regards

Hi all, Coordinate system : x,y are in-plane direction. z is the out-of-plane axis (vertical axis) How to provide the boundary condition (constraining) for a full model , which is unsymmetric ? Which nodes to fix ? For example : For Quarter symmetry model : One node is fixed in x,y,z...

Dear all, I am currently working in LS DYNA to do an impact simulation. Physically it's like droplet impingement on a solid plate. I do not know how to create a solid box with finer mesh at the centre of droplet impact and in other areas of solid box, a coarse mesh. I want to create this...

Hi, This might be a basic question for your level. I was asked to draw rheological models like kelvin voigt / maxwell model in the microsoft word instead of just copying and pasting. I searched some but i was unable to find what I should be doing to draw a spring and a Damper (dashpot) and...

Hi everybody, At present, I am learning to work with matlab. I want to learn how to implement a basic loop for the following steps I perform. I have an excel file named "book" in format (.xlsx). I have two columns with ten rows each as shown below : serial value 1 0.15 2...

HI, I am trying to learn to work on MATLAB by accessing the numerical data from an excel file. Kindly add your expert opinion. For example : in an excel file named "data.xls" , I have three columns: Column1 Column2 Column3 0.1 1000 20.05 0.2 1250...

Hi, I have some simulation to be run with changing (trial and error ) one parameter. First, i try with the one value and run in a ANSYS Batch mode. Then , I check results. Again, i change that parameter , then run for the second time same simulation with the new value for that parameter. My...

Hi, I have done a crack propagation simulation in abaqus through XFEM. There are two parts bonded together. A zone of crack/damage is created near the bonded area of two parts. The simulation ran properly and the crack propagates. Now , i would like to check the graph between the crack...

Hi, I am in need of references of books to learn about the Failure / Damage modeling with the application of it in the Finite Element Analysis. I would like to know about the recommended books or any other sites/articles etc ..., thanks

Hi, I am doing a simulation in abaqus where pressure is applied over a rectangular solid model. I requested MISES output from one of the element where the pressure load is applied. My doubt is, " Is that possible to find the possible biggest model size above which the MISES stress is constant ...

Hi all, I installed abaqus 6.11 . I am not sure what wrong i made or some thing missed during the installation. When i tried to refer the online browsing manual for help (i.e) Help ---> Search & Browse Manuals ... , I get a message window stating "Abaqus documentation collection could not be...

Hi all, What is the procedure to get the final mass of the model after running a simulation of erosion type in abaqus ? like in (.dat), we get the initial mass of the model as : TOTAL MASS OF MODEL 2.4354001E-11 But after using the EVOL output, it was found that the...

Hi all, I wanted to know how to calculate the volume loss and mass loss after running a simulation on erosion of a model ? I have a model. Before running simulation, i want to know the volume and mass. And after running simulation, model gets deform, now i wish to know the volume and mass...

Hi all, I have an input file of a simulation run in abaqus. I desperately ,wanted to know how to change the size (dimension) of the model through modifying just the already existing input file rather than using the GUI again for creating a model of different size. Kindly correct if I am...

Hi All, I wish to know whether Is it possible to extract an input (.inp) file from abaqus cae , once the model is created . It is known that input file can be create manually but I wanted to exactly know how to get / export an input file from abaqus ? This would be useful since different...
