    Cyclic symmetry in Abaqus/Explicit for composite pipe

    Hi everyone, I have a composite pipe, layup can be either symmetric or not. I would like to apply cyclic symmetry to reduce the size of the model. Cyclic symmetry is available in Abaqus/Standard but not in Explicit and I was wondering whether there is a way of applying cyclic symmetry in...

    Bottom up mesh problem

    Hi everyone, I am fairly new to Abaqus. I have a pretty complicated geometry so instead of creating the solid elements straight away, I first created a shell mesh and then created the 3D one using the bottom up technique (revolve). The original surface is still there though so I tried to create...

    Damping equivalence between Nastran and Samcef

    Hello! I am modelling a sandwich in both Nastran and Samcef in order to compute the harmonic response. I am encountering some issues in damping modelling. The core of my sandwich is a polymer with a constant loss factor. While I can easily model it in Nastran by defintion of GE in the MAT Bulk...
