Hello,
I need to model a flexural test on a simply supported concrete beam with standard steel reinforcement. I have the whole test experimental data until failure and I want to create a model in Abaqus to match it. I'm concerned just about the vertical displacements and I don't care about the...
Ok, do you know if there is a way to force Abaqus to draw the real shape of the elements? My current model is small so I won't have any graphical performance issues.
Thank you very much for your replies. I thought that Abaqus could draw the quadratic shape of the elements on screen as other fem softwares that I used in the past do.
Hello,
I'm having trouble in meshing a plane model using quadratic shell elements in Abaqus CAE. I have to model a quarter of circle and I want the elements on the border to be perfectly coincident with the external circumference. However the mesh created by Abaqus has just the nodes on the...
I'm trying to simulate a mode II delamination with a linear damage evolution. The parameters that I used are taken from an article about this subject. The initial stiffnesses are high (10^7 and 10^8) and the main focus is on the damage evolution. I tried to add the viscosity stabilization in...
Hello,
I'm trying to simulate a cohesive bond in Abaqus. It is supposed to connect two 3D elastic blocks which are in contact on one side. Since the interface thickness is negligible in my problem, I tried to use a cohesive surface interaction and I set the cohesive behavior and damage...
