    Limits of the plastic material model

    hi, i read the documentation on this but could not get a definite answer out of it (though i believe to have read it somewhere): For this model to work i need to supply pairs of yield stress/plastic strain points that lead to a stress strain curve that has an decreasing gradient after its...

    Remeshing an orphan mesh

    Hi, im trying to perform a plastic deformation simulation with Abaqus/Standard. (its a simple compressiontest). It runs fine for the most part but near the end the deformations apparently become too big and the analysis fails. Im using triangular elements which i read arent really suited for...

    Abaqus - how is plastic behaviour interploated between two adjacent material definitions

    Hello, i was wondering how abaqus interpolates the material behaviour when i enter plastic properties such as e.g. Stress (MPa) / Strain (10^-3 in/in) 0 / 0 12.0 / 0.219 26.0 / 0.417 Lets say i run a tensile or compression test. What...

    Tensile Test - Constrains

    Hi, i got the following issue: i want to do a tensile test (technically a compression test) with a model of bone i got. For this i received (by my adviser) the model itself and two additional plates. I want to attach the bone model to the plates so that i can apply boundary conditions to the...

    Change Material property during iteration step

    Hello, I'm fairly new to Abaqus so bear with me: I'd like to change material properties during a jobs iteration frames e.g. at the second iteration step id like to change my young's module to e.g. 10^9. How do i do this? My final goal is to evaluate each mesh element after an iteration and...
