Hi Dave! Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately I am analysing the soil behaviour as the anchor penetrates, settles and eventually pull out. I am trying to measure embedment depth and pullout capacity. Is there any suggestions to ease this situation?
They use some amazing haswell Xeon processors that are several magnitudes higher than I would ever afford... But you do have a good point in terms of using coarse mesh and making heaps of mistakes first before doing your final analysis!
The large deformation compromises the mesh structure and gives some really misleading results. I think I might just build a workstation of anyways because I used up 80GB just for a step time of 1 second and I have to do at least 5 seconds....
I found out that the only supercomputer/HPC centre in my area is called Pawsey here in Perth, Western Australia. The problem is I would have to submit an application which would only be assessed at the end of December by then my thesis would already be due -.-. I was told computational time...
To minimise the Eulerian domain I used a quarter model and applied a symmetrical/encastre boundary condition as the primary analysis is only in one direction. I did a couple of analyses using large elements but they gave some misleading results but now that I have partitioned the eulerian...
Dave & IceBreaker Thank You for your advice, it has taken two days for the analysis to run for just 1 second of time step -.-
Coarsening the Eulerian mesh is not really an option as I will have to do a mesh convergence analysis. I don't have access to HPC in my University so I think I should...
Hi Everyone,
I am currently thinking of building a new workstation PC for ABAQUS Finite Element Analysis, I am running ABAQUS CAE 6.12 on my computer with these specifications:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor 6MB cache
GPU: Nvidia GTX 970 4GB GDDR5
SSD: Samsung 850 250GB 2x...
