    What is a static implicit solution scheme in Abaqus?

    I am reading about explicit and implicit solution method in Abaqus, and for the purpose of what I am doing the paper recommended using a static implicit solution scheme. Which step would that be? Because its not gonna be dynamic explicit or implicit step? - if so which one is it, and how does...

    Doing an Abaqus FEA course and unsure what the proffesor is asking of us?

    I apply apply a load of -1500N in the vertical direction to the RP_LOAD_Point, and have to do the following: "Extract from the ODB field output via “Create xy-data” the force/time and displacement/time curve of the RP_Load_Point. Generate a force/displacement plot out of these curves. What does...

    Tsai-Wu and Tsai-Hill failure criteria [Abaqus]

    How is Tsai-Wu and Tsai-Hill failure criteria related to cross-product term coefficient and stress limit? And is cross-product term coefficient and stress limit somehow related to max stress and max strain failure criteria?

    Abaqus Concrete damaged plasticity - am I getting right behavior for a simple element?

    I am trying to see if my element has correct behavior in tension and compression. I have made a one element which is encastred at one side and elongated at the other. I get the following tension behavior: . Which seems okay if I compare too abaqus documentation on CDPM, besides that the force...

    How to create sliding between two cylindrical tubes in Abaqus?

    I want to fix the outer tube, but not restrict the inner tube so that it is only restricted by the coloumb friction caused by the contact with the outer tube. When I apply boundary conditions to only the outer tube the solution does not converge. I am using penalty friction formulation...
