Hi,

I am trying to replicate a force displacement test on an Isolation Mount in Abaqus. Unfortunately I do not have a piece of uniform rubber material to perform the required (uni-axial/planar) tests on to characterise the rubber. Therefore I have performed the tests on the isolation mount itself which has a non-uniform cross section.

I have then estimated the cross section that the stress/strain is acting over and used this data to characterise the material data. Obviously there is some discrepancy between the simulated and practical results.

I would like to use ISight to optimise the hyperelastic/viscoelastic data to achieve the force/displacement test criteria. I am new to ISight and have tried loading the Input file into the component editor. However, I noticed that it imports the relevant steel data (base of the isolation mount), but does not import the Hyperelastic/Viscoelastic data. Is it possible to do this?

Regards

Tom
