    Direct cyclic&NLgeom

    Hello, I would like to use direct cyclic approach to minclude low cycle fatigue in my model, but as I have read in the manual, it is not possible to use direct cyclic analysis if you want to include geometrical nonlinearity. Is there any other option to include both phenomenons? Thank you, Blaž

    Pinching effect

    Hello, I would like to know how to include pinching effect in Abaqus models of metal plasticity. My results differ from the experiment right at this point. Thank you

    Connecting Solid Nonl Instance to Rigid Beam

    Hi, i am trying to simplify my model. I would like to connect to parts of column. The upper part is solid and nonl, the lower is rigid beam (wire). What is the easiest way to do it. I tried with different types constraints but I am getting errors abou inactive dof all the time. I would like...

    Too stiff model (merging???)

    Corus, it's true that I if I merged two instances of the same part in samw position I would have just one part and one new instance but would that part have doubled stiffness?

    Too stiff model (merging???)

    I am modelling a dowel column-beam connection and I've already ran some analysis. The results show that my model is much to stiff. I checked if I made some foolish mistake but everything seems OK. I started to think about merging instances of my model. I chose merging geometry and under...

    Nonlinear material-plasticity

    Thank you for all your answers. The reason I tought that more points would mean more expensive analysis is that: if I use only a few points I tought abaqus just makes the response linear between this two points (linear relationship stress-strain). Therefore, when applying next increment in...

    Nonlinear material-plasticity

    I would like to know if defining more plasticity "points" (fy-ep) makes analysis more nonlinear and consequently more expensive. For example: If I put 4 rows instead of 20 in plasticity model, will my calculations be faster? Thank you.

    Abaqus job running problem

    I can't believe this. I turned off my wireless adapter and it started to work. Thank you MechIrl, you are the best! :D This was more than a one week problem :D

    Abaqus job running problem

    Now I realized that Abaqus is in fact calculating but it just doesn't show anything. Strange...

    Abaqus job running problem

    Yes. 98 of 99. Plus the model runs on another computer with the same installation version.

    Abaqus job running problem

    Yes, I have restarted my computer. The funny thing is, that I've now install the 6.8-1 version and the problem persists. So it has to be sth about my computer.

    Abaqus job running problem

    Hello, I have a problem considering Abaqus job running. I have been using Abaqus now for two months and I had no such problem. It happened this morning when I started a job and afterwards terminated it. In fact, I juct clicked "Kill" but nothing happened. Therefore I deleted this job and made...

    Modeling a Dowel

    Hello, I have a problem modeling a dowel column-beam connection. The dowel has a circular section. It is put trough the beam. There is a steel rectengular tube that goes throughout the whole beam heigth. Between the tube and the dowel there is a mortar feeling. How do you advise me to model the...
