Hi community,
I would like to estimate the volume reduction of my workpiece during a forging process made with ABAQUS/Explicit (axisymetric elements). I've read that it was possible to see it in the .dat file by adding the line
*Diagnostics, ADAPTIVE MESH=DETAIL
in the step module of my input...
Ok, no problem, Martin...
Still trying to understand why the "ale_sinusoid_forgingaxi" failed, I just tried to divide the analyse in two steps (I was only using one step), specifying the option op=new for adaptive mesh, and I got a solution!
So maybe it will work for my work... I'll give news...
Hi again,
While I was trying to solve my problem I ran the example problem "ale_sinusoid_forgingaxi" (contained in Abaqus example problem manual, section 1.3.9) to see how it was defined. Exactly the same problem happens at the end of the simulation if I divide de velocity by 10 and multiply...
Hi,
I'm tring to model a forging process with ABAQUS/Explicit, but I've got a problem with self contact (or maybe surface définition). one surface of the elastic-plastic material is schrivelling up during the simulation and after a certain elapsed time one of my...
