You can create a force displacement graph for any point of your model, for any direction and force of interest.
To do this you can request displacement at a point in the model via the history output.
Then you can plot this by: visualization module -> create XY data -> plot. Now you get a...
Hourglassing means that your elements deform in an unrealistic way, which can occur when you use reduced integration elements (for instance S4R instead of S4 in case of shell elements). Usually your deformations become (much) too large as a result of hourglassing.
The hourglass control settings...
I'm not sure what you mean with XFEM.
But it is possible to model crack initiatiation and propagation. However I only a method for this when you use layers in your model, in such a way that the damage can only grow through the boundaries of the layers.
For instance by using layers modelled as...
Hello,
Currently I am trying to determine Interlaminar Tensile Stress (ILTS) and Inter Laminar Shear Stresses (ILSS) in composites by using Abaqus.
To get started I tried to reproduce the results in the Abaqus help file, at Abaqus Benchmarks Guide 1.1.3: Composite shells in cylindrical bending...
Dear All,
Currently I am using CATIA V5 R20 in which I would like to draw a scalable aircraft. I want to do that by linking the dimensions in sketches, pads, pockets, etc; to parameters which can be changed easily from the model tree.
The project group in which I am participating is writing a...
