Hello, Does anyone have test data and or other material properties to define a polyolefine foam tape? I am creating a finite element model using a (.6 - 1.1 mm thick) foam tape as the gasket between 2 aluminum housings which are bolted and compressed together. This analysis will use Abaqus.

Hello, Does anyone have access to material properties for steel in the HAZ (heat effected zone) and filler weld material properties? I am trying to build a FEA model of fillet welded joints. I will have more information soon in another message. I am just curious if there is any resources...

Hello, Does anyone understand the options for gap conductance in Abaqus? I have a heat transfer model which has a plastic cover attached to an aluminum housing and I want to setup a gap conductance between the cover and housing. I have created the command with a value for the thermal...

Hello, does anyone have an example of a thermal stress analysis in Abaqus they can send me? I have a model of a plastic part that sits in an aluminum housing and all parts start at 45 C and then the parts are cooled off quickly by getting splashed with cold water at (5 C). The plastic part and...

Hello, Does anyone have the material properties for SAE 1020 and SAE 1008 steel or can point me to a good web site for these properties? But I also need the true stress and true strain curves for them too. Thanks.

Hello, Does anyone know how to create an analytical surface with a rigid body (made from a flat plane rectangular patch of shell elements) for the Abaqus profile in Hypermesh? In other words, I want to create a rigid plane to attach a bolt to in an Abaqus model which I am creating in...

Hello, Does anyone know how to create an MPC in Hypermesh when you are using the Abaqus profile? That is to say I am building an Abaqus model in Hypermesh but can not find how to create an MPC. I looked at the option to create an Equation but it only creates an Equation element and not a MPC...

Hello, I am trying to simulate the denting of a car door using the LS-Dyna solver and the implicit method or the explicit method. This denting is a low load small displacement type of event (quasi-static). This is to find the weakest spot on a door outer panel. Any references which specify...

Hello, I just wanted to add that I am really looking for the C and P values for a 33 percent glass filled nylon 6/6 material. I am trying to find these values to fill the options for a Mat 124 LSDyna material card. Thanks for any help. Greg..........

Hello, Would anyone have example values for the strain rate parameters C and P for nylon which are from the Cowper and Symonds model? Any input is appreciated. Greg....

Hello, Does anyone know if there is a piece of software which can convert an Abaqus 3D standard model to a decent LS-Dyna model format? I know that Hypermesh can not do this. Also, if there is a free downloadable package that can do this that would be great to know too. Thanks.

Hello zwtipp05, Thanks for the feedback. I do not have a manual for Abaqus. I do not even have the solver for Abaqus. I only want to convert so that I can run the model in Opticstruct if possible. I am relying on my memory of Abaqus from 14 years back. Is riks buckling a nonlinear geomtery...

Hello, I am trying to convert an Abaqus Standard 3D model to an Opticstruct model and I have not used Abaqus for 14 years, so I am unfamiliar with the load cases for Abaqus. I am using Hypermesh to view the Abaqus model. When I look at the Abaqus model in Hypermesh, I see the following...

Hello Rick, Thanks again. Are theses Dupont materials also 30 percent glass fiber filled nylon 6,6 materials? Greg.......

Hello Rick, Thanks alot. This is the best collection of data I have seen on the subject. I am assuming that all of trade names; Zytel, Minlon, and Rynite are various forms of Nylon 6,6. Am I correct? Greg.........

Hello dgallup, Yes, I do realize that. This would be for an injection molded nylon part that should have some of the fibers in a random orientation. I did find some info at Matweb but not much for higher temperatures. I could not connect to your link. Thanks away. Greg..........

Hello, Does anyone have the thermal coeff. of expansion value for nylon 66 with 30 percent glass fiber filled material? I really need to know this for the temperature range of 15 C to 200 C. I found a value for low temperatures but I need the high temperature value. Any useful web site links...

Hello RPstress, Thank you for the detailed explaination and the insight. Your experienced input is much appreciated. Greg.........

Hello RPstress, Is the data you provided for a woven composite thermoplastic? It is not for a unidirectional glass fiber with nylon tape, correct? Greg..............

Hello RPstress, Thanks for the information provided. Yes, I would need to have more data for the LSDyna Mat 54 material card. But this is more then I currently have. Greg.............
