    Circumferential constraint in ABAQUS explicit

    Hi IceBreakerSours, Thank you for your reply. This way I should give the coordinates of all nodes in the new cylindrical coordinate system. Yes? Thanks, hasan

    Circumferential constraint in ABAQUS explicit

    Hello all, I am working with ABAQUS explicit and want to constrain the circumferential displacement of a number of nodes which were positioned on the perimeter of a ring with respect to the center of the ring. I know how to apply that in ABAQUS standard. It can be applied using kinematic...

    keeping constant stress over elements

    Thank you for the reply. My simulation is standard, the analysis is static, and the material model is 2-dimentional (2D) linear elastic isotropic material with a definite Poisson's ratio and Young's Modulus. Actually I am performing 2D plane stress analysis and then I am going to consider a...

    keeping constant stress over elements

    Thank you IceBreakerSours for you reply. Actually I have used "*initial conditions, type=stress" to apply stress to the structure and then I used "*prestress hold" to keep the stress constant, but "*prestress hold" does not work properly and stress changes over the elements during the...

    keeping constant stress over elements

    Hi, I am working on mechanical modeling of the contraction of the muscle. I am using ABAQUS software and I need to keep a constant initial stress over the elements of the structure. There is an instruction *prestress hold. But when I use this instruction the stress changes through the element...
