    ABAQUS Explicit Damage

    Hi there, I am modelling the compression of a cellular material (lattice) in Abaqus Explicit. Part modelled using C3D10M elements Plates modeled as rigid analytical surfaces with penalty method contact between the plates and the part mesh nodes (works fine). I have used properties of Ti64 with...

    JCCRT Damage Initiation greater than 1

    Hi there, Thanks for your reply, I will check with no antialiasing but it really shouldn't affect it. I have included a screenshot of the damage evolution parameters. I have used the same parameters for a simulation with different geometry and JCCRT with antialiasing behaves as expected and is...

    JCCRT Damage Initiation greater than 1

    Hi all, I have set up a model of a cellular material modelled using B31 beam elements compressed by hard contact (penalty friction=0.3) defined with 2 analytical rigid surfaces. The material model I have proposed is taken from literature and includes: Elasticity, density, Johnson-Cook plastic...

    Output Section Moments for B31 Beam Elements

    Hi all, I have a model of a lattice made with B31 beam elements and I compress the lattice with 2 plates (Rigid surfaces) made from R3D4 elements. I want to output the bending moment experienced by each node of the B31 elements of the lattice. I have created a field output request for the...

    Creating identical meshes on opposing faces

    @FEA_way That plugin looks very helpful as they say it accommodates unit cell analysis for lattices which is what I'm working on - thank you for the help @Mustaine3 This is exactly what I needed!! It worked a treat and I have perfectly matching meshes on 2 faces now. Thanks very much for the...

    Creating identical meshes on opposing faces

    Hi there, thank you for your reply and suggestions! So my goal is to simulate the uniaxial compression of this unit cell (and others later) to attain the E11 and E22 Young's modulus, and G12 shear modulus. I have a plugin that I was recommended called EasyPBC which doesn't perform side by side...

    Creating identical meshes on opposing faces

    Hello all, I am trying to create identical meshes on 2 opposing and parallel faces of a part (show below with red circles identifying example of opposite faces) I need the nodes of the (linear tetrahedral) elements to be lined up really well (to within some small tolerance that I can set...
