Can local orientations for each element be inputted in the input file of Abaqus ? I am running the Holzapfel model but I want to alter it using the local direction for every element. for instance the example problem works like this.
*parameter Pi = 3.141592654 gamma = 49.98 theta1 = gamma - 90 c1 = cos(theta1*Pi/180) s1 = sin(theta1*Pi/180) theta2 = theta1-2*gamma c2 = cos(theta2*Pi/180) s2 = sin(theta2*Pi/180) *orientation,name=ori-1,local directions=2 1.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0,0.0 3,0.0 , , 0.0 , , 0.0 *Solid Section, elset=strip, material=IliacAdventitia, orientation=ori-1
Now I want to define the local direction for every element? Any ideas? Please note that I am using an invariant model for which Abaqus clearly mentions that local directions need to be defined.
Hi Jeffrey,
Thanks for your answer, we already used this method and it worked but thanks anyways :)
