Oh yes I want it deformable (hyperelastic). But what I meant is that the keyword *SURFACE seems to do the job, doesn't it? Then instead of asigning the surface to a rigid body I would assign it to a deformable shell
Thank you! I am happy to hear that it's possible. I was now looking *parameter keyword in the online ABAQUS help and I found this "analytical rigid surface" which seems exactly what I was looking for! http://abaqus.me.chalmers.se/v6.12/books/usb/default.htm?startat=pt01ch02s03aus19.html
I am trying to model the deformations of a cancer cell subject to external forces. Getting the relaxed, stress-free shape of the cell right is of great importance for the results. That is why I would like to map this shape equation that I have straight into an ABAQUS model.
I have an equation...
Hello everybody,
I am a bioengineer and I am interested in studying the problem of deformation of body tissues. I have never used ABAQUS so far but I have read about it and it seems exactly what I need to address certain problems that I am having. However, I wanted to make sure of a couple of...
