    Abaqus convergence issue with *Controls

    Hello, I am running the previous Abaqus model with changed loading magnitudes. Up to steps 8 my analysis can't converge. I have tried to use *controls to adjust the convergence criteria. But I am not familiar with it. I got the warning and error messages saying too many attempts. My input step...

    FEA- Determine wrapping pressure of multi-layers of wire rope on winch drum

    Hello Everyone, Uniform wrapping pressure induced by one layer of wire rope wounding around the drum can be estimated as P=F/Rm b P is the line pull tension at each th layer Rm is the radius of turns of wire rope on drum (PCD/2) b is the wire rope diameter This assumes uniform pressure...

    Winch drum wrapping pressure

    thread404-332009 Hello all, This might be the unsolved problem in the industry. Came across the problem of solving the stresses in the winch drum subjected to multi-layers of wire rope. I am using FEA to model the scenario and requires the compression pressure when it is subjected to wire...
