Hi to all I jumped into an issue in Abaqus Explicit and in particular in the very early increments (inflation of tire from standard to explicit). At the initial increment I see that the RBFOR at the center of the ply is around 94.8 N and it’s correct because this value come from the import of the standard 3D (tire inflation). Below the attached viewport the weird thing happen in the next increments. Below there is exactly one increment later. I see that the RBFOR of PLY passed from 94.8 N to

Greetings, My question is related to a previous topic you may find here, CST Studio Suite extracts momentum as 'normalised momentum which does not have units'. And it seems the normalised momentum (let us denote as P) is written as, P = beta*gamma = p/(m_0*c) where beta is the velocity and gamma is the Lorentz factor. small `p' is momentum (has dimension), m_0 is mass of electron is c is speed of light. If we consider the P_z component, I would like to know is gamma factor actually gamma_z or

Let us call this the "PRF_TNM" model. Abaqus solver 2025 HF1 or later can be used. This post describes how the 3DExperience Material Calibration App can be used to calibrate the PRF_TNM model. I will be showing this with the development version of the app, and this capability will be released as of

The image above shows five stress-strain curves for a polymer material called PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone). This test data was digitized from the paper by David Quinn, et al. (2013) : Development and Experimental Validation of an Advanced Nonlinear, Rate-Dependent Constitutive Model for Polyether Ether Ketone User-subroutines were recently published on the SIMULIA Knowledge-Base (QA00000429005) to allow the Abaqus PRF model to replicate Bergström's Three Network Model. Let us call this the

I am working on a 2D implicit model where I tied two different parts. A portion of the interface between two parts kept untied. In this portion, I defined cohesive interaction between two surface for step-1, which acts similar to 'Tie', and deactivated that for step-2. The red and green zone of the figure are in compression and leads to overlapping at step-2. I decided to define a contact(surface to surface) property. So I created an interaction property with normal behavior 'Linear'. Then it
