Hi all,
I'm dealing with the following problem:
I'm relative new to Abaqus, to get used to moddeling cracks in Abaqus,
I want to model a crack in a epoxy interface as described in:
Alfaro, M.Suiker, A. (2010) Transverse Failure Behavior of Fibre-epoxy Systems, Journal
of Composite Materials, Vol. 44, No. 12/2010.
I followed several tutorials to model XFEM cracks.
Then i applied this experience to create a model for my problem.
First when submitting the model, after about 20.000 iteraties i got the following error.
"Unexpected system error 193" IPC_error, after some research i found out that this error was coused due to a miscommunication between the GUI and kernel.
Therefore i used a python script to manualy start the kernel without the GUI.
This seems to work.
However the calculation is taking a disproportionately lot of time.
The output .odb file is also becoming enormous in size (over 40 GB, in 24 hours of calculation time, 40.000 iterations).
I would expect this relative simple model to be able to be solved more easy.
Therefore i think something must be wrong in my model definition, however i can not find my error fault.
I added both the python script and .inp file of my model.
Does anyone have any suggestions why this calculation is taking so much of calculation costs?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance!
Steven
