Thank you very much for your help so far. Here is a post of the model I am concerned with. It has only the Standard model input I made however I have an Dynamic/Explicit as well where only difference should lie in the element type and the swelling step I have defined (one is dynamic/explicit the...
Thank you, the merger has helped. The wrinkling/buckling does occur in 3D when a dynamic/explicit model is used but not in a standard model. In 2D, neither models show the weird buckling. At the moment I am attempting to decide which model is correct though. I am trying to model close to what I...
Attempt to use thermal expansion of soft materials (elastic) to cause large, looping and curling deformations of a thin sheet. At larger deformations, the solution aborts and I would like help in solving this issue; abortion comes from multiple reasons depending on what in the model I have...
I was able to merge the parts. I am wondering what this will do by eliminating the tie? Is it for saving computational time or does it serve other purposes aswell.
WThanks for the reply,
What would the benefit in applying axisymmetry? Also, I have been looking into trying to make the two solids one but I do not know how as I am new to Abaqus. Is it done with a partition? Is it possible to merge and define each half as different materials.
Hello all,
I am new to this forum as well as Abaqus FEA. I am attempting to model a hydrogel like substance. It is a 3D model with the overall geometry being a simple 50mm long by 2mm tall by 0.2mm thick geometry. This overall geometry is composed of two halves (in which is the height at 1mm...
