Hi All, I am running a simulation of ductile damage of a beam under flexure. I see that the damage criterion is achieved however, the Job fails after/around the damage initiation! It gives convergence error! How can I resolve that! Any suggestion is highly appreciated!!! Regards,

Can I use Ductile damage criteria with standard isotropic plasticity (1st option in the Abaqus plastic material behavior defined by yield stress and plastic strain)? Any help is highly appreciated! Regards,

Thank you so much for the reply. I understand. BTW, I am using 8-noded brick element and Abaqus manual says it does have damage initiation criteria (dmicrt) output! I will see the odb as you said, however, I am afraid the distorted elements are attached to a stronger material. Basically, I have...

Hi All, I am trying to simulate ductile damage. However, I am getting the following warnings. The Abaqus manual says that these variable are available and C3D8 works for damage model. Also, I am getting another type of warning on strain increment! --------------------------------- Output...

Thanks for reply. The link was working for me! By damage I mean, the ductile damage model that is available in Abaqus. I am performing a simulation of beam bending and want to observe damage (reduction in load bearing capacity) in the beam after certain deformation.

I do not know about the GTN parameter! In Abaqus Explicit there are stuffs like loading rate (given by Amplitude) and time step. Checking them may be helpful. is the error about convergence!

I want to simulate damage in Abaqus. I have few questions about this. 1. Can I add damage criteria/evolution with simple elastic-plastic material (in which we just need to provide yld stress-strain values). The manual says Damage can be used with JC, vM plasticity models! 2. I do not have any...

Thank you so much for the reply. I tried them. It seems the solver goes past the yield point (i.e. in Crushable Foam Plasticity) but meets the error within the plastic deformation regime. However, in the process, I had to rethink about my plan. Another question is, may I use a damage model...

Thanks a lot for helping out! I am pretty much sure, the error is for Crushable Foam Model (CFM) since, I have CFM right after Elastic portion and the elastic portion works. The error mssg is like: CONVERGENCE CHECKS FOR EQUILIBRIUM ITERATION 4 AVERAGE FORCE 2.677E-02...

Also compositesFEAguru, I tried with lower crush strength than the compressive strength as attached here. The same error is coming! The convergence is no occurring! Please let me know what do you think! Regards...

Thank you so much for your reply. I have seen some plots that show lower compressive crush strength and few with similar. I will try modifying that. I am attaching the experimental data here for your reference and to show how I took them...

Hi, I am a new user of Abaqus (using v6.10). I am trying to implement Crushable Foam Plasticity Model. People have used it, however, I could not use this model. I have uniaxial compressive test data from which others have implemented the model. Can anyone please help! What am I doing wrong! I...
