Hello everyone I am facing a problem related to KE when I use reduced bricks instead of fully integrated my kinetic energy settles but when I use fully integrated it never converges I cannot find a reason, any help would be appreciated.
Hi everyone,
I am currently carrying a quasistatic explicit analysis, in ABAQUS where hyperelastic material properties plasticity and multiple instance contacts exist, Since the day I started FEA I have always used C3D8's but PEEQ values never converge no matter how I refine the mesh, I looked at everything contact definitions, mass scaling etc., I am suspecting something related to element type. What should I do?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello everyone, I am considering applying PhD program in mechanical engineering in US however I graduated with a 2.8 gpa in my undergrad and I did masters and got 3.9 also I was able to publish 2 papers(in Q1 journals) along the way do you think I am cooked or I should try it?
