    ABAQUS - Modelling Strain Softening

    Hello All, Could anyone help point me in the direction of Property -> Optional parameters -> Softening (see image attached). I'd like to model strain softening on a model and believe from reading, this is the best approach but can't seem to find this on the ABAQUS interface. I would appreciate...

    ABAQUS 'Section must not self intersect' for complex geometry on part creation

    Morning all, I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to turn off 'self intersection checks' when creating a part from a relatively complex import geometry from AutoCAD. Having read online, I'm aware the accuracy of the mesh and analysis will be inaccurate but mainly curious if there...

    Modeling Asphalt behaviour using ABAQUS: Interaction between aggregate and mastic

    Hi FEA way, I've created separate parts for the aggregate and mastic, creating faces for each element. Then using assembly made sure they are in contact before applying interactions with the rigid plates but also cohesive constraints between the mastic and aggregate. Many thanks

    Modeling Asphalt behaviour using ABAQUS: Interaction between aggregate and mastic

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction with a method/tutorial on how to model the interaction between a viscoelastic material (mastic) and a solid material (aggregate)? I have tried treating as two parts but an error of 'the ratio of deformation speed to wave...
