As part of the R2026x FD01 user assistance, SIMULIA R&D created a 3DEXPERIENCE tutorial that illustrates how to create a curve tangency joint. A curve tangency joint constrains two curves from different bodies so that, once assembled, these two curves move along each other with coincident tangents at a single point of contact. While completing this tutorial, you learn how to: Create a curve tangency joint. Create a driver to control the motion of a curve tangency joint. Preview an animation of

As part of the R2026x FD01 user assistance, SIMULIA R&D created a 3DEXPERIENCE tutorial that illustrates how to create a gear joint. To simulate the rotational relationship between the gears, you first create a revolute joint for each gear to define its rotational behavior. You then create the gear joint to control the motion of one gear relative to the motion of the other gear in a mechanically accurate manner using a gear ratio that you specify. Finally, you create a driver to control the

The creep law shown above is sometimes called the "Bailey-Norton" power law. It has been available in Abaqus for decades, but it has some serious drawbacks. The parameter "A" has odd units that depend upon the value of the other parameters. Because the 3DExperience platform is a 'units aware' software, the Bailey-Norton creep law is not supported there. The creep law shown below is more modern, available in Abaqus since 2019. In this example we show how to set up a calibration of a creep

Quote from Jorgen Bergström : User-subroutines were recently published on the SIMULIA Knowledge-Base to allow the Abaqus PRF model to replicate Bergström's Three Network Model. 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 R2026x FD01.

Prior to 2025, the "best so far" material model for PA12 was summarized in this 2023 SIMULIA Community post: Nylon 12 (PA 12, Polyamide 12) ; TLVP model This work used a TLVP model with the Darveaux creep law. The Darveaux viscous behavior was added to the PRF model in the Abaqus solver in 2024FD02 The modified Darveaux viscous behavior was added to the PRF model in the Abaqus solver in 2024FD03 For 2026x FD01 the Darveaux and modified Darveaux creep laws have been added to the PRF

Hi everyone, I am currently trying to replicate FEA compression simulations using an SPH approach. As a first step, I ran a basic SPH simulation with the following parameters: smoothing length = 1, smoothing factor = 1, and number of neighbours = 1. With this setup, the simulation appeared to run stably. HowevAbaqusAbaqus CAEsphSIMULIA r, the results did not match my FEA predictions. Following the documentation, I then attempted to increase the number of neighbours. When I set the neighbour

Dear Abaqus Community, I am performing nonlinear collapse analysis of a lattice transmission tower using Abaqus/Standard – Static, Riks to obtain capacity curves (wind speed vs top displacement). I ran 100 stochastic models (LHS-based uncertainty in material and geometry). For most models, the capacity curve shows a smooth ascending branch, a peak, and post-peak softening. However, in some models, I observe a zig-zag / vertical clustering near the peak load: Displacement remains almost constant

The test data shown above can be found here: 1018 Steel For the R2026x FD01 release of the 3DExperience Material Calibration App we have added a new feature to the test data editing functionality called "Truncate", or we could say "Truncate at Peak". When working with metal plasticity stress-strain curves, it is rather common that one wants to truncate the test data at the nominal stress peak. In prior versions, one would delete all the points after the peak, but it might take some time to

In the Test Data Editing section of the Material Calibration App, under Decimate or Regularize, the App currently offers the user the choice of spacing as linear or logarithmic. In a different area of the App dealing with hardening curves we had a more general spacing option called "bias". This bias capability is explained here in the 3DExperience docs: Supported Built-In Material Models We thought that adding this more general "biased" feature to Test Data Editing would give the user some

The PVC creep test data you see above is synthetic test data created by running Abaqus with a known material model.

There are 7 datasets at 7 different temperatures. The temperatures are shown in the legend, in degrees C. This process of generating a Master Curve, and

Several years ago we added the ability to generate a Master Curve from DMA (storage & loss) test data. I had some real DMA test data for a PVC material and created a DMA-based Master Curve post here: Generate Master Curve from DMA test data That exercise created the following Abaqus material model for PVC: Using that Abaqus material model, I ran a number of separate Abaqus unit-cube analyses to generate some synthetic test data for Stress Relaxation (each run at a different temperature).

The image above is from R2025x. In the R2025x version of the Material Calibration App, it is not possible to select to use a volumetric test dataset for the Marlow model or for the Valanis-Landel model.

As the slide above says, the Hencky hyperelastic model was added in 2024x FD01 and 2025x FD01 to A/Std and A/Exp. The motivation was NOT to have yet another material model for elastomers, it was to have a finite strain version of classical Hooke's law. In R2026x FD01 we have added the Hencky hyperelastic model to the Material Calibration App. The video below demonstrates a calibration using the Hencky hyperelastic material model and also demonstrates the export of unit-cube models (another

Hello, I was playing around with the Rotational Body Force load in Abaqus CAE 2025 and am confused by the direction of rotation. For a simple hollow cuboid test case, I am applying a rotary acceleration like this: So a positive rotary acceleration about the z-axis. However, when I look at the resulting body motion, it is experiencing a negative rotation about the z-axis. So my questions are: Am I misunderstanding the definition of axis of rotation via point 1 and 2? Is the direction of the

A new material model for paperboard was added to the Abaqus solvers in 2025x FD01. This model is based on work by Xia, Boyce and Parks (2002) and the follow-on work by Tomas Andersson (2006). This material model has been added to the 3DExperience Material Calibration App as of R2026x FD01. This material model is an anisotropic elastic-plastic model with decoupled in-plane versus through thickness behavior. Here is an example of the Abaqus .inp file keyword interface: These material
