Hi all,
As I know,
S-N curve are used to calculate fatigue life, da/dn vs dk curve are used to calculate crack propagation, it is for damage tolerance.
So, there are different model for them.
Hi,
The boundary conditions can be S.S.
However, the U2 is free.
As my habbit, I will constrain 1 point for 1,2 ,3,
One edge for 1, other symetry rotation constrain ,
all edge U3 and UR3 constrain.
That is all.
Br,Charle
Hi txrobo,
There is *Restart command in Abaqus to fullfill your goal.
First step, to do first step analysis with *RESTART,WRITE,... Options.
Sencond step, to do sencond step use different method, by
*Restart, Read,... Options.
Or you can also try *IMPORT,... Command.
Hope it would help...
