Hello,
1) Under Visualization in Abaqus, contours for displacements-U1 and U2 are available. How could I generate contours for displacements in x-y direction, that is Ux and Uy? Similarly how can I get contours for stresses Sigma_x, Sigma_y and Sigma_xy?
2) To find homogenized elastic constants of a representative volume element of a fiber reinforced composite (that means to get homogenized E1,E2,E3,G12,G23,G13,v12,v23,v13), I need to find elastic constants of each element. I also need to get volume of each element. How can I get this two information for each element?
I will really appreciate your kind help. Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure I understand the first question correctly - 1,2,3 are Abaqus denominations for x,y,z. So U1 is U in x-direction, S12 is the xy-shear component of stress etc.
2) Out put the variable IVOL to the odb file, this gives you the volume at each Gauss point. To get elastic constants, plot stress and strains at each integration points for the components you need.
I am sending the details steps as an attachment. Please go though this you will get it.
Thanks so much to both of you. I would come back to you in future for further help. Have a nice day!
Pankaj Biswas respected sir,
How you are analyzing the values shown for different colors, i mean what is the final values of stresses with proper units. you must have used some material properties with specific units. So, are the stresses values shown in visualization have same units as used in the material properties?
