Abstract: In order to solve the convergence problem of concrete constitutive in the softening phase, an anisotropic nonlinear elastic constitutive model (ANECM) was proposed, which was developed based on the uniaxial concrete constitutive relation in the Chinese code for design of concrete structures (GB 50010-2010). The user material subroutine (UMAT) based on ANECM is developed in ABAQUS soft...

Over the past three years, BMW has undertaken a significant project to first investigate, then proceed with migration from its present crash simulation software to ABAQUS. This project has been motivated by a growing recognition within BMW that, in order to advance its crash simulation methods, improved robustness in the software employed, along with a greater emphasis on physically-motivated s...

Abstract: The latest release of Abaqus version 6.10 includes Abaqus/CFD. The inclusion of this software makes it possible for users to perform a fluid analysis in a more user-friendly manner. Independent single software solely for CFD is currently available from many developers, and many attempts have been made to link software of CFD to structural analysis system using some specific procedures...

Articular cartilage plays an important role in the function of diarthrodial joints. Computational methods have been used to study the biphasic mechanics of cartilage, and Abaqus has been one of the most widely used commercial software packages for this purpose. A newly developed open-source finite element solver, FEBio, has been developed specifically for biomechanical applications. The aim of ...

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) has been developed for more than a decade. However, the usage of IGA is by far limited mostly within academic community. The lack of automatic or semi-automatic software platform of IGA is one of the main bottlenecks that prevent IGA from wide applications in industry. In this paper, we present a comprehensive IGA software platform that allows IGA to be incorporated ...

Reinforced concrete structures consists of two main components and the behavior of these structures influenced by gender and material properties, in order to investigate the behavior of concrete reinforced beam that most important flexural element in reinforced concrete structures, we chosen High Strength Concrete (HSC) for concrete and GFRP and steel bars for reinforcement. For compare the new...

Engineers from wide ranges of industries face an ever increasing need to run virtual tests to simulate complex models for improving reliability as well as reducing product development time and costs. Abaqus Unified FEA is designed to tackle these challenges by producing high-quality realistic simulation solutions, while delivering high performance in productivity by utilizing efficient use of m...
