An Abaqus input file was modified to make it compatible with Simulation Composite Analysis.
Four sections of the input file required modification:
- *Material
- Replaced the elastic material definition with a user-defined material definition
- Specified the user material constants and number of state variables
- *Solid Section
- Changed the material names to match the name of the Simulation Composite Analysis material
- Ran the xStiff utility to automate the calculation and insertion of extraneous stiffness parameters
- *Step
- Adjusted the time incrementation
- Modified the default nonlinear solution controls
- *Element Output
- Requested state variable output to the database
