Greetings,
I'm interested in whether it's possible to employ mean-field homogenization (MFH) within Abaqus alongside the Dynamics Implicit (or Explicit) solver.
I'm exploring this possibility as I intend to apply MFH with a viscoelastic matrix, and it seems employing the Dynamics solver is necessary for this purpose.
However, I've encountered an issue where Abaqus indicates that the material lacks a defined density, despite my attempts to specify densities for both the constituents and the composite material.
Engr. Tufail thank you for your answer.
In standard I can use what? MFH or viscoelasticity?
While attempting to incorporate viscoelasticity into a standard static simulation, I encountered the following error:
***WARNING: VISCOELASTIC MATERIAL PROPERTIES ARE DEFINED IN THE MODEL. THE MATERIAL RESPONSE IN A STATIC ANALYSIS WILL BE BASED ON THE INSTANTANEOUS ELASTIC MATERIAL PROPERTIES.
Therefore, it appears that the simulation is utilizing elastic material properties while disregarding the viscoelastic ones.
Kind regards.
Ok, apparently you can choose a Viscous step. It is also a quasi-static solver but the time-dependent material properties are considered.
So, either choose Dynamics step or Viscous step.
For viscous step, you cannot use static solver. You will need to use dynamic step.
