    Simulating Impact Mole Device

    Hello all, I have been having quite some difficulty figuring out how to model the device as seen in the youtube link below, in 2D. Any ideas? I can model the spring with a connector element... but modeling the pneumatically driven hammer that strikes the anvil is tricky. Particularly when...

    ABAQUS cmd line job seemingly freezes after a long time

    Hello all, I am running some pretty computationally demanding jobs on ABAQUS command line. It utilizes a SPH+FEM hybrid method, simulating a penetrator driving into soil. I expected the job to take on the order of 24 hours, since there are many SPH particles to track, so I knew I'd have to run...

    Coupling object movements - Jacking type movement

    Thanks for the response! I’ve implemented a translator connector between the two objects. I think this is close but not sure how to get it to the finish line. The motion of the smaller tip needs to be defined relative to the larger object. It’s almost as if I want the center of the rim of the...

    Coupling object movements - Jacking type movement

    Hello all, I’m having a tough time trying to find a solution for my problem. I’m hoping to model a jacking component of a larger system. I can simplify the system into two parts A larger cylindrical shaft, which needs to be modeled with no defined motions, just fixing displacement in all...
