    ABAQUS Explicit Damage

    Hi there, I am modelling the compression of a cellular material (lattice) in Abaqus Explicit. Part modelled using C3D10M elements Plates modeled as rigid analytical surfaces with penalty method contact between the plates and the part mesh nodes (works fine). I have used properties of Ti64 with...

    JCCRT Damage Initiation greater than 1

    Hi all, I have set up a model of a cellular material modelled using B31 beam elements compressed by hard contact (penalty friction=0.3) defined with 2 analytical rigid surfaces. The material model I have proposed is taken from literature and includes: Elasticity, density, Johnson-Cook plastic...

    Output Section Moments for B31 Beam Elements

    Hi all, I have a model of a lattice made with B31 beam elements and I compress the lattice with 2 plates (Rigid surfaces) made from R3D4 elements. I want to output the bending moment experienced by each node of the B31 elements of the lattice. I have created a field output request for the...

    Creating identical meshes on opposing faces

    Hello all, I am trying to create identical meshes on 2 opposing and parallel faces of a part (show below with red circles identifying example of opposite faces) I need the nodes of the (linear tetrahedral) elements to be lined up really well (to within some small tolerance that I can set...
