Hi all!
As part of one of my projects I will be required to conduct a settlement model with the use of cam-clay modelling in the soil. Having had zero experience in soil mechanics, I am struggling to get to grips with all the terminology and finding a complete data set to try a test run of my...
Hi gents,
I have a quick question as I am starting to doubt myself. I have a download which I am increasing over the space of 3 steps by using the op=mod card for the dload like so;
Step 1:
*dload, op=mod
nodes, pz, -2000
Step 2:
*dload, op=mod
nodes, pz, -9000
Step 3:
*dload, op=mod...
Hi all,
The problem I am looking to solve is what type of elements to used to simulate a rope connection between two concrete blocks. An example of what I am modelling is below.
I have done some searching but to no avail. I am not worried about any data from the rope; I just want to simulate...
I am trying to apply a braking torque to the centre hub of an alloy wheel (i have posted before if you have seen already) I have the rear of the hub kinematicaly coupled to a reference point at the centre of rotation. Is there a way of applying a troque to the reference point to give the center...
Hi all,
I am trying to apply a rotational displacement to a wheel which has been sectioned into 1/4. I have modeled this before so i know its possible, my issue is that it will not work again even with the same BC's etc. I basically have 1/4 of an alloy wheel with the outside rim surface fixed...
Hi,
I am modelling 1/4 of an alloy wheel in abaqus/CAE and i am using the cyclic symmetry option in the interactions. My issue is that it will allow me to select a master and slave surface but when i want to select the axis of rotation it will not allow me to select the datum axis i have...
This is my first post here but have used it a lot to help with my project.
First let me explain what i am trying to achieve here. I am physically testing half an alloy wheel under a compressive load to validate my Abaqus model. The load is dependant on the displacement of the striker by 20mm...
