Does Al 1100 H14 behave differently in tension and compression?

I am trying to correlate the experimental and modeling results of micro-indentation. The indent shapes are not matching because the amount of springback and material rise the model is predicting...

How to model a micro indentation process in Abaqus where the indenter is not rigid?

There are a lot of resources on the net about the indentation but the indenter is considered as rigid. I couldn't find any where the indenter is not rigid. I tried making the indenter deformable...

How can I add gravity load to a reference point (which has a point mass associated with it) in Abaqus?

The reference point is attached to a rigid body via rigid body constraint. When I try to add a gravity load to a rigid body it says "A gravity load may not contain reference points"

How to define and get results (stresses) for certain points of a model in abaqus, using python? When the size of the model changes?

I want to do a parameter study of a aixsymmetric cylinder in Abaqus. I want to create several jobs where I get the stresses for 3 different points in my model. These points are defined. I wrote a...

LOAD DISPLACEMENT CURVES Stiffness increasing in ANSYS non linear analysis. HOW CAN I CORRECT IT?

Hi. I am doing non linear FE analysis using a new material beam under flexural 2 point loading using ANSYS. I have defined a bilinear material model. The solution has converged. In results I am...
