Description

This tutorial package offers a comprehensive guide for simulating concrete structures using the Concrete Damaged Plasticity Model (CDPM) in Abaqus. This package equips users with the knowledge and tools necessary to perform accurate finite element method (FEM) simulations. The tutorial covers every step required to model the complex behavior of concrete structural elements including material definitions, boundary conditions, meshing, and the use of the USDFLD subroutine to dynamically adjust material properties during the simulation.

The package is designed for engineers, researchers, and practitioners interested in understanding how the CDP model can be extended and modified to simulate concrete structural elements when the material properties of concrete varies during loading application. The key focus is on the practical application of advanced FEM techniques in Abaqus, particularly for civil engineering structures subjected to multi-axial stress states.

Introduction to the Concrete Damage Plasticity Model

The CDP model in Abaqus is widely used for simulating the non-linear behavior of concrete under tensile and compressive stress. In typical reinforced concrete structures, the CDP model accounts for damage, plasticity, strain hardening and softening, making it ideal for modeling complex behaviors like cracking and crushing. In some structural applications such as structures subjected to multi-axial stress states, modifications to the standard CDP model are required.  In this tutorial, you will learn how to implement these modifications in Abaqus.

Simulation Setup and Material Properties

To begin, the tutorial outlines how to set up the simulation in Abaqus by defining the material properties, along with the necessary geometry. The elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and compressive strength of the concrete are defined based on either experimental data or standards such as ACI 318.  The plastic behavior of concrete is modeled using the modified Concrete Damaged Plasticity Model with modifications introduced by means of the USDFLD subroutine.

Implementing the USDFLD Subroutine for Dynamic Material Properties

One of the key features of this simulation package is the use of the USDFLD subroutine in Abaqus. This custom subroutine allows for dynamic adjustment of material properties during the analysis based on evolving field variables, such as the pressure and the strain.  The USDFLD subroutine enables the simulation to modify the properties such as the hardening/softening rules, damage parameter and dilation angle to changes in the stress state or in the strain that is needed in many structural applications.

The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to write, implement, and validate the USDFLD subroutine, ensuring that users can easily integrate this feature into their Abaqus simulations.

Boundary Conditions, Element Types, and Meshing

A critical aspect of finite element modeling is the correct application of boundary conditions and the selection of appropriate elements. In this tutorial, we apply boundary conditions that replicate the behavior of the structural, such as pinned or fixed supports, and the application of load through displacement control.

  • Element types: The concrete core is modeled using 8-node brick elements with reduced integration (C3D8R).
  • Meshing: Meshing plays a crucial role in the accuracy of finite element simulations. In this tutorial, you will learn how to refine the mesh for modelled elements to avoid stress concentrations and discontinuities. The tutorial also covers how to conduct a mesh convergence study, ensuring that the model provides reliable results without excessive computational cost.

Running the Simulation and Analyzing Results

Once the model setup is complete, the tutorial guides users through running the simulation in Abaqus. During the simulation, key results are monitored.  Post-processing is an essential step in verifying and interpreting the results of your simulation. The package demonstrates how to generate contour plots of stress, strain, and damage, as well as how to export data for further analysis.

Conclusion

This tutorial package provides a detailed guide to simulating concrete structures using the Concrete Damaged Plasticity Model in Abaqus. With a focus on implementing the USDFLD subroutine for dynamic material property adjustments, the package allows users to model the complex behavior of concrete. The insights provided in this tutorial make it a valuable resource for engineers and researchers aiming to extend the capabilities of FEM in simulating advanced civil engineering structures.

FDM Simulation in Abaqus | Simulating 3D Printing with Fused Deposition Modeling

 200.0
(1)
3D printing is the process of fabricating objects in three dimensions by adding layers of materials, such as plastic or metal, based on a digital design. Simulation for 3D printing involves the use of software to predict and optimize the printing process, enabling more efficient and precise production. This educational package includes a simulation specifically for 3D printing using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). The FDM simulation employs a plug-in known as AM Modeler, which allows users to select the desired 3D printing method. By inputting the necessary parameters and adjusting settings, the 3D printing simulation can be performed without requiring any coding. A workshop will be conducted to teach participants how to utilize this plug-in effectively, focusing on "3D printing simulation with Fused Deposition Modeling and Laser Direct Energy Deposition method using the AM plug-in."

Different Techniques for Meshing in Abaqus

This package introduces different meshing techniques in Abaqus. In finite element analysis, a mesh refers to the division of a physical domain into smaller, interconnected subdomains called elements. The purpose of meshing is to approximate the behavior of a continuous system by representing it as a collection of discrete elements. Meshing is of utmost importance in finite element analysis as it determines the accuracy and reliability of the numerical solution. Through this tutorial, initially, the mesh and related terms associated with meshing are declared. Abaqus mesh module and meshing process are introduced. Then, two different meshing methodologies: Top-down and Bottom-up with meshing techniques available for each one of them are completely explained. Some of the advanced meshing techniques and edit mesh toolset are also included. The consideration of mesh verification as the final step in the meshing process, along with its criteria, is undertaken. All the tips and theories determined in this tutorial are implemented in Abaqus/CAE as a workshop to mesh several parts. This package intends to take your ability to mesh different parts to a higher level.

Cold Forming Simulation Using Abaqus CAE | Residual Stress Analysis

 59.0
(1)
Have you ever heard of cold forming process? It refers to the reshaping of metals into desired forms at room temperature. It suits well for parts requiring high precision and a good surface finish.  While cold forming offers many advantages, it is important to consider the potential for residual stresses within the material. The residual stresses in cold-formed components can influence their behavior, potentially affecting the quality of the final product. Experimentally measuring these stresses can be challenging. Numerical simulations offer a solution for cold forming residual stress analysis. Among the available numerical methods, Abaqus cold forming simulation has gained significant attention from researchers and practitioners. This training explores Abaqus cold forming analysis in detail. It includes three workshops that cover different steps in the cold forming process. For validation purposes, we have compared the results for the numerical simulation of cold forming with a reference solution for each workshop.
