Only after making this post I realized the shared curves and relevant surfaces need to be in the same layer. I'm new to Femap so the whole idea of Groups vs Layers is still new to me. Coming from Abaqus, I figured Groups are Display Groups (for postprocessing) and Layers are more like Sets. I...

Hi all, I would appreciate any advice for this little problem I'm having. [bigears] I'm modelling composite wing thats modelled with surfaces in SW and exported as parasolid into Femap (Photos included). I organized the model into layers: 1. Skin and 2. Internal (spars and ribs). But when I go...

With ANGLEMAX = 15 upper part of the crack connected nicely, while the lower part (even though its symmetrical layup) hasn't and that caused the original error. As the explanation of this parameter in the manual is a bit vague I'm not sure how the angle defined is measured.

Thank you very much. I checked the documentation and NPOLY and INISMOOTH parameters aren't available for LaRC05 so I'm just going to try ANGLEMAX which does look promising.

It's a 2022 version.

I don't have access so that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone! Any advice is greatly appreciated! [bigears] I'm trying to model a composite test coupon damage combining LaRC05 criterion and XFEM. To get my job converge after first element experienced some damage (STATUSXFEM between 0 and 1, usually at 0.4) I had to define damping factor of...

Thanks for your answer. I'm validating LaRC05 criteria so I'm unfortunately stuck on Abaqus/Standard. Most definitely convergence issue comes from contact between 12 layers in my model and I'll have to check if the interlaminar properties affect the results in any way. I'm inspecting...

I'm doing an Abaqus/Standard model verification for a 3D composite coupon using C3D8R elements and LaRC05 failure criteria (Load-displacement curve). Interlaminar properties are defined using cohesive interaction property and General contact interaction type. When running my simulation the...

I calculated equivalent elastic properties of a honeycomb core using analytical Ashby & Gibson approach. Material was defined using "Engineering Constants" submenu in elastic material properties section (with analitically calculated values). After that I defined material orientation using local...
