    Material model validation in FEA

    Hello Users, I have a report which validates particular material model available in FEA by doing FEA tensile test against experimental tensile test data of the material. FEA tensile test process: Create specimen model - mesh - apply load - calculate displacement - calculate strain and...

    Principal stresses

    Hello users, Befor posting here, i have gone through previous posts regarding my doubt. Still, i am not clear. so my queries are interpretations of principal stresses. 1. Principal stresses are scalar or vector? If it is vector, then does it depend on the way of mesh is generated. 2. In...

    Import in to hypermesh

    Hello users, Is it possible to import Abaqus/cae file into Hypermesh. (Like Viceversa is possible with *.inp file format from Hypermesh). Thanks for any help.

    Acceleration - Direct Frequency analysis

    Hello Users, I am trying to apply a acceleration load to a one side fixed cantilever beam(shell element) to do frequency response analysis. I tried 2 options. 1. I used DAREA in constraint and in Z direction constraint i used 5(Acclen Value). In Dload Panel, i changed it to Acceleration...

    Moldflow analysis warpage results

    Hello Forum users, we have a problem of warpage with one big plastic (PP 30% glass filled) component like all plastic products. we did the moldflow analysis and got warpage results. Cooling is also considered during the analysis. Warpage says 0 to 24 mm. But Moldflow engineer says(other...

    Interpretation of Vonmises stress and displacement results

    Hello Forum Users, How to interpret the von mises stress and displacement results from normal mode analysis. I assume, Normal mode analysis does not give exact displacement value. (Frequency response analysis is required). So, stress output is also not correct. 2. Model: 100*10*1.5 mm...

    Stress at particular strain

    Hello users, How to get stress values at particular strain or displacement like 5%, 10%, 15% and so on. In my compression analysis, i get results randomly. I use abaqus CAE. Thanks for your time and help. Regards, feaplastic

    calculation of log. plastic strain

    Hello users, From Nominal stress-strain curve(compressive), I calculated logarithmic plastic strain using following formula. Log plastic stain = Nominal strain - (true comp stress/E) Is it right? I get ascending values till 75% strain then my log plastic strain descends. Abaqus asks for a...

    Moment load

    Hello, I need to apply moment load on my whole body (1200 Nm) about some reference point. first option, make analytical rigid body and linked with reference point. It leads to contact analysis and makes it difficult. Does not converge. second option, kinematic coupling. But it removes...

    Non connex error

    Hello, I am creating midplace surface model from my solid part for analysis purpose. when i try to join two surfaces i get non connex error. For example, flat surface (100*100 mm) is connected with another flat surface (50*50 mm) which is perpenticular to first surface. I get this error at...

    Femap - meshing

    Hello, I have part with 600*300*10 mm. I need atleast 3 layers of elements thru 10mm thickness and same time less no of elements on other surfaces. Global meshing produces very fine mesh on every area. What should be my approach? I am new to femap. Thanks, feaplastic.

    Analysis check

    Hello, I ran a geometric nonlinear analysis, my results are quiet ok. But i want to ensure analysis has been done in a right way. For example in another thread, I read something like strain energy density must be converged for a correct analysis. But now, I could not find that thread abt...

    Results with respect to other coordinate system

    Hello, I would like to see my displacement results with respect to user defined coordinate system(which i defined to specify boundary conditions) rather than global coordinate system. How to do in abaqus. Thank you, fea
