Hi guys!
I'm trying to model a part of a precast reinforced concrete structure, a beam and a column tied together with dowels.
I must obtain a result very similar to an experiment performed by the university laboratory.
I'm using Abaqus/Explicit, because with Abaqus/Standard I have numerical...
Hi Guys!
I'm trying to model the contact between 2 surfaces using a cohesive layer with a traction-separation law.
I want to use a bi-linear constitutive behaviour, like the one reported in the image I attached; that bi-linear diagram is completely known to me. The behaviuor is the same in...
Hi guys, I've got a question about the definition of a job in Abaqus.
When you define a job, in the Parallelization section there is an option: "use multiple processors".
What does it mean?
It's this thing related with the type of processor of my computer? (I've got an i7-4870HQ, quad core...
Hi guys!
I'm trying to model a bolted connection in Abaqus/standard. I have to perform a static Analysis, but due to the high number of contact interactions, the analyses are sometimes impossible to perform (aborts due to errors, physically meaningless results).
So, I decided to use...
Hi guys!
I need help for a problem with the modeling of the material behaviour.
I want to use two different σ-ε diagrams, for traction and compression, to model the steel material.
How can I do that in Abaqus?
It seems to me that it's possible only with certain models with concrete, but not...
Hi everybody!
I've got a problem in calculating the reaction forces in Abaqus.
I assigned a boundary condition (U1=0 U2=0 U3=0) to a cylindrical surface; a high number of nodes lies on this surface. I created a set (based on the geometry) that consist of this surface, to have the possibility...
Hi everybody!
I've been working for a few months on Abaqus, and my goal is to model a quite complex bolted connection, made of steel, for research purposes.
To practice, I'm triyng to model a simple connection between 2 plates, with only one bolt.
A photo is here...
