Hi all, I would appreciate any advice for this little problem I'm having. [bigears]
I'm modelling composite wing thats modelled with surfaces in SW and exported as parasolid into Femap (Photos included).
I organized the model into layers: 1. Skin and 2. Internal (spars and ribs). But when I go...
Hi everyone! Any advice is greatly appreciated! [bigears]
I'm trying to model a composite test coupon damage combining LaRC05 criterion and XFEM.
To get my job converge after first element experienced some damage (STATUSXFEM between 0 and 1, usually at 0.4) I had to define damping factor of...
I'm doing an Abaqus/Standard model verification for a 3D composite coupon using C3D8R elements and LaRC05 failure criteria (Load-displacement curve).
Interlaminar properties are defined using cohesive interaction property and General contact interaction type.
When running my simulation the...
I calculated equivalent elastic properties of a honeycomb core using analytical Ashby & Gibson approach.
Material was defined using "Engineering Constants" submenu in elastic material properties section (with analitically calculated values).
After that I defined material orientation using local...
