    error message from abaqus.

    Hello Everyone, I an trying to convert my failed material into particle and I have the error message " THE CONVERSION CRITERION PARAMETER CAN ONLY BE USED IN COMBINATION WITH SPH CONVERSION = PER ELEMENT." I really don't know where to set this up. I have Abaqus/CAE 2023 model. I will use any...

    ABAQUS SCRIPTING AND EDITING

    Hello Everyone, I have a question. I am trying to run a python script in abaqus. My question is that, is it possible to edit whatever I want from the software interface like materials constant, orientation, model geometry and lot more OR I have to do all editing from the code itself?? Thank you!

    PLUGINS TO RANDOMIZE PARTICLES IN A MATRIX

    Hello, I've got a question. Please, does anyone have a plugin that can randomize particle position in a matrix? I know about Monte Carlo approach, but I do not know how to write the script. Please, help me. Thank you so much

    HASHIN DAMAGE MODEL FOR SOLID

    Hello, Please I have a question. How can I use hashin damage model for a solid element and not shell? I trued to use for a shell elements and it worked, however, when I tried it for a slid element, it did not. Kinly help me with the step-by-step approach to achieve that. Thank you for always!

    HOW TO LOCATE CAE FILES

    Hello, Please, I have a trouble locating CAE files for some project, even though I am able to see the ODB files for every job. How do I locate the CAE files where these jobs were ran? I checked the folders and all, but could not locate them. Thank you so much.

    OVERPRESSURE MEASUREMENT

    Hello, Thank you for always. I am running an explosion test in abaqus, but I don't know how to measure the "incident overpressure" Please how do I get these data so that I will be able to plot it? Thank you so much.

    PROBLEM WITH ELEMENT DELETION

    Hello, I am trying to model an impact in Abaqus and even when I used the materials information as it was described from the literature, I have problem with element deletion. None was deleted at all and the target keeps stretching indefinitely until an error message pops up, even after it has...

    HOW TO MEASURE THE ERODED MASS

    Hello, Thank you for the help always. I am modelling an impact loading of a bullet on a composite. How to I estimate mass of the eroded region of the composite in abaqus? Thank you so much!

    BULLET NOT MOVING

    Hello Everyone, Thank you for always helping out. I am trying to model a bullet impact, but when I run the simulation, the bullet is not moving at all. What can I do? Is something wrong with my boundary condition?

    non-smooth graph

    Hello, I modelled a bullet as a rigid element and requested its velocity from the history output. Even though the simulation went good, why did I have such a rough graph? Thank you so much!

    MATERIALS ORIENTATION

    Hello Please I have a question. I am trying to model a multiple ply and I want to go in the direction of homogenization approach (i.e homogenized properties of fiber and matrix will be considered) Do I choose "Global orientation with an option of "element isoparametric direction 3 (bottom to...

    MODEL ADJUSTMENT IN ABAQUS

    Hello Everyone, Thank you for always helping out. I have a question. How can model a quarter of a bullet instead of a full geometry so as to reduce the computational time? I am interested to impact a certain portion of the target and i have a small size of it. How do i go about it?

    HOW TO COMPRESS LAMINATE

    Hello there, Thank you for always helping. I've got a question. I have successfully created a fabric layer in Abaqus. In order to obtain certain number of plies, I used a linear pattern option. My question is, how do i compact these layers into the thickness I want? Let say my composite...

    BALLISTIC LIMIT IN ABAQUS

    Hello Everyone, I ran a ballistic simulation in abaqus (a bullet into polymer reinforced composite to be precise) and from the result, the bulllet was stopped with few layers of the composite destroyed of course withhout a complete penetration. How do I estimate the ballistic limit of the target...

    FINAL VELOCITY OF A BULLET

    Hello Everyone, I have a question. I ran an impact simulation of a bullet into a target. From the experiment, there was not any penetration and the bullet was stopped and stuck in the target. However, when I ran the simulation, the velocity time plot of the bullet does not reach zero. Does that...

    PROBLEM WITH DEFORMATION

    Hello, I tried to model an impact on Abaqus. It was working really fine, but I needed to change the mesh size. I noticed the bullet is not moving an inch, but it shows it is deforming and even the plate also shows it is deforming whereas there is no contact between the bullet and the plate. What...

    KINECTIC ENERGY OF THE BULLET

    Hello, Please, how do I get the kinetic energy of the impact bullet from Abaqus? I saw total kinetic energy, but I need just for the bullet. How do I get it? Thank you so much.

    HOW TO OBTAIN ORTHOTROPIC PARAMETERS FOR A FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE

    Hi Everyone, I am trying to generate the 9 constants using the rule of mixture. I already have the mechanical properties of the matrix and the fiber. How do I use these information to generate the 9 constants needed using the rule of mixture? I do not seem to understand how. I will really need...

    ABSORBED ENERGY BY BULLET AND SHIELD UPON IMPACT

    Good day Everyone. Please I have a bothering question. How do I get the kinetic energy of the bullet, absorbed energy of the bullet and the absorbed energy by the shield after impact in abaqus? How do I obtain these energies from HISTORY OUTPUT? Thank you so much!
