Hi everyone,
I am modelling bolted flange connections in Abaqus 6.14 and am refining the load pattern for my model. I am applying bolt loads over a series of steps to avoid excessive deformation of the gasket material I am using. My problem is that I am looking at applying a bolt-up sequence to...
Hi all,
I am in the process of modelling a helmet impact (EPS foam helmet) onto a rigid surface. The way I have gone about this is defining a discrete rigid surface, foam helmet (crushable foam material) and a discrete rigid (shell) headform. In the assembly I have assigned a predefined...
Hi All,
Thank you for your suggestions! I managed to get the pipe to behave as expected, this is what I did:
-> Assigned material orientation in the Parts Module to a cylindrical coord system
-> BCs: Constrained one face in the axial direction
-> Loads: Internal Pressure and Axial Pressure...
Hi everyone,
I am quite new to Abaqus and FEM software in general. I am trying to model a thick walled pipe (closed) in Abaqus. The way I have been doing this is extruding a solid pipe section and constrain one end (BC) in the axial direction only (to allow for radial and hoop expansion). I...
