Hello everyone,
I am trying to simulate the accumulated deformation after several cycles (passage of a train) in a railway track.
My idea is that, after each cycle, the vertical permanent deformation is calculated using an empirical equation. Then, at the end of the cycle, the vertical...
Hi,
I'm trying to model a 2D model of a railway track but I have encountered a problem.
Basically, my model is made of:
- the ground: with 9 sublayers
- the ballast
- the sleepers
- the rail pads
- the rail
- and the train
I'm doing a dynamic analysis, in which the only load is the gravitational...
Hello,
I am doing a calibration of a 2D model using a 3D model as a reference.
Basically, I am applying a surface pressure to the 3D model and then applying the
same pressure to the 2D model. The question is (probably is a dumb question)
if in the 2D model id 400 kPa the pressure and it is...
Thanks for your answer.
I take this opportunity to wish you merry Christmas.
Back to the problem.
1. I have tried to use the velocity boundary condition instead of the displacement boundary condition but the result is the same.
2. I have the version Abaqus/CAE 6.14-5 (of the University). I...
Thanks for the interest.
The ALLKE peaks at the end. The ALLVE is constant to zero. What does it tell that?
I used an implicit dynamic analysis. I used a beam with 100 elements.
I chose as time step: 0.00499266 seconds. Which is the time that occurs to the load to go to an element to an...
Hi, thanks for the interest.
Here is the plot of the energies:
What can I see is that:
- the total energy (ETOTAL) is linear (and may be this is not good thing as I remember that should be better if it was constant).
- the artificial strain (ALLAE), the damping dissipation (AALVD) are...
Hello!
I am doing a simple model: a moving load along a simply supported beam as depicted in the figure below
Basically, I've modeled the moving load as a load applied at a reference point and then used a boundary conditions in order to move it.
The model works. The problem is that I...
Hello, I would like to ask, if you have time, to help me to solve a simple model problem in ABAQUS.
I’m trying to model a simple supported beam subjected to moving sprung mass. This should represent the movement of a train travelling over a rail with constant speed v. The rail is modeled as a...
Ok, now I've used those but there is a huge difference between the model and the analytical solution.

It seems that the springs dont act.
Thank you for your help!
I've partitioned the beam in the points in which I want the springs

The problem is that when I want to create the springs (from "Springs/Dashpot") it requires 2 nodes.
I have the nodes in the beam, but how can I create the...
Hello! I am new to ABAQUS and I have trouble to model a simple problem.
I have to model a rail on an elastic foundation with BOEF model: the rail is a beam and is above a series of springs that model the sleepers, ballast,etc.
My model consists in:
- 1 beam of 10 meters (the rail), modeled as a...
