    How to calculate the dynamic modulus from cyclic compressive indentation test?

    Hi Everyone, I am working with cartilage and I have performed a dynamic test by simply applying 20 sinusoidal cycles of compressive strain with constant amplitude which results in a same sinusoidal form of stress response with a phase lag. The software gives me the Time, Displacement of the top...

    Importing parameterized input file in CAE

    Thanks for you answers But it sounds strange, so it means that I cannot import adventitia_15deg.inp in the documnetation folder of abaqus? it's strange because it is part of the Abaqus documentation. would you try to see if you can import that model by changing removing the *parameter from the...

    Importing parameterized input file in CAE

    Thanks so much sdebock, it worked well. at least now i have the geometry and everything but i still have some warnings in the message area of abaqus saying: WARNING: The following keywords/parameters are not yet supported by the input file reader...

    Importing parameterized input file in CAE

    Hi everyone, I am trying to import a model from one of the examples of abaqus (benchmark tutorial example 3.7.1). I will receive an error saying: WARNING: The input file contains one or more data items which have been parameterized. Parameterized input files can not yet be imported into...

    Meshing of a complex geometry tissue in Abaqus

    And I have another question regarding making a fiber-reinforced model. the collagen fiber can be modeled as fibers inside the tissue. Basically, there are two main methods to model fiber reinforced materials , one is to use spring btw the nodes which makes the fiber directions limited to node...

    Meshing of a complex geometry tissue in Abaqus

    @IceBreakerSours: you're definitely right, Abaqus is not a good solid modeling software. I used to work with Solidworks and it's quiet more user friendly in terms of making solid models. At the moment, the University doesn't support Solidwork, otherwise I would import 2D image stacks of tissue...

    Meshing of a complex geometry tissue in Abaqus

    Thanks for your quick responses. Actually the real geometry of this tissue is of high importance due to its thickness variation along the anteroposterior and mediolateral directions. On the other hand, According to literature,recently, they have been using MRI/CT even more than before. I am also...

    Meshing of a complex geometry tissue in Abaqus

    Hi everyone, I am trying to do a finite element analysis of the Temporomandibular joint disc (TMJ disc) in Abaqus. I already got the IGES model of disc from Hypermesh but the geometry needs so much partitioning to become suitable for at least Tetrahedral mesh. Would you please tell me if the...
