Hi guys, i am working on a problem using VUSDFLD and VFRIC/VFRIC_COEF. I am able to get the stresses using VGetVRM and store it as field variable in VUSDFLD. And I want to use this stored field variable to update friction coefficient in VFRIc, my question is how can I use my stored field...
Hi guys.
Does anyone have good advice or methods for material calibration. Like I have an unknown material, I had a compression test and the output is a force displacement curve, and I need to came up a an stress-strain for this unknown material. Does anyone have good experience for this task...
Hello all
I am wondering if I am able to add initial strain in ABAQUS? I know I can use initial stress from predefined field. How about initial strain? Can I do that in ABAQUS? any work around?
Thanks

Hey guys,
I have a quick question about mass scaling. In my current model I have applied semi-automatic mass scaling to a target time increment to 8e-7. However, looks like it's not working at all at where the time increment start to decrease. As you can see the attached image, the percentage...
Hello all,
I am a basic question for applying a displacement B.C. in ABAQUS. Do you guys have any idea about how to apply a displacement B.Cs on a reference node that allow the object to move in 45 degree or certain angle? for example, when I do peeling test, can I can pull the peel edge in a...
Hello ABAQUS users,
I am trying to modeling the adhesive vs cohesive in a a peel test. I am wondering is anyway that I can use cohesive contact of top of cohesive element? I am trying to understand the adhesive failure at the the interface vs cohesive failure in the cohesive layer. please help...
Hello everyone,
I am wondering is there any possibility that I can switch rigid body on and off between steps? or can I use import analysis to import the rigid body as deformable?

Hello everyone,
I am working on a script to use getSubset method to access the stress and coordinates from a certain element set. I just noticed a problem with COORD and I I'm doing exactly the same for both, but it only works for the stress. For COORD I always get an empty array. I've posted...
Hi everyone,
I have two vdisp subroutines, I would like to run them together and I use the code below, but why either one of the subroutine is being called？
include 'vaba_param.inc'
dimension jDof(nDof), jNodeUid(nblock),
1 amp(nblock), coordNp(nCoord, nblock),
2...
Hello everyone,
I am writing user subroutine using vdisp. My I ask why the return value of nblock is always 1 and the coordNP is always 0? the coordNp should return current nodal coordinates at 1,2 & 3 direction right? Please help if My understanding is not correct. Part of my code is below...
Hi everyone,
I am trying to define the movement of a conveyor belt, the conveyor moving with constant velocity, may I get your advise what is the best way to define the BCs for this type of simulation. Since the belts driven by driving rollers are not able to move stably, I am thinking use...
HI everyone,
does anyone knows how to choose the value of LENGTH RATIO in distortion control? what exactly means if I use 0.1 vs 1. Thanks for any help

Hello everyone,
There is a Python script that (named generateEventSeries.py). with this script I can gcode data file into event series data for Abaqus AM modeler. Do you guys who still have the script or the package from DS database? Seems DS already remove the article. if you have it script...
Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a solid phase tranfermation problem in ABAQUS. I am using UEL to define myself element, USDFLD to do the phase transfermation. I am wondering if I can ahare variables between this two subroutines? can I use them togather to complish my simulation? any...
