Introduction to OpenSees: Open-Source FEA for Earthquake Engineering

Introduction to OpenSees   OpenSees (Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation) is an open-source software platform developed by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER). It is specifically designed for

Unlocking the Future of Engineering Research: The Power of Raw Data Sharing

At EngineeringDownloads, we’re always looking for ways to help researchers work more efficiently. That’s why we’re proud to announce our collaboration with Raw Data Library (RDL), a game-changing platform that’s

OpenSees for Structural Analysis

OpenSees (Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation) is an open-source software framework developed primarily for nonlinear structural and geotechnical analysis, with a strong emphasis on earthquake engineering. Developed at UC

My FEM Software Journey: The Good, The Bad & The “Aha!” Moments

I’ve been quiet for a while, but for good reason—more on that later. Today, I’m sharing the messy, challenging, and surprisingly fulfilling path I took to learn commercial FEM software.

Which one is better? Abaqus or ANSYS?

As an engineer, we need to build a model to simulate a process so we can save many and reduce processing time. For this aim, we need to use conventional

Linking Abaqus and FORTRAN: A Step-by-Step Guide

In this tutorial, we aim to explain the first step of subroutine programming in the Abaqus software, which is linking the Abaqus software and FORTRAN compiler. You can watch the

Goldak Heat Input Model for Welding and Additive Manufacturing

Introduction In the present blog post, we explore the complexities of simulating Additive Manufacturing (AM) through Abaqus, under the guidance of Saman Hosseini. Specifically, our attention centers on incorporating the

Plastic behavior in ABAQUS-2: Specialized Plasticity Models

Introduction In our previous blog, we delved into the fascinating world of plastic behavior models, focusing on their application to metals and general materials. Now, get ready to take your

Plastic behavior in ABAQUS-1: Metals and General Materials

Different material behaviors The material library in Abaqus provides a wide range of options for modeling various engineering materials, such as metals, plastics, rubbers, foams, composites, granular soils, rocks, plain

Troubleshooting Guide for Common Errors When Linking Abaqus with FORTRAN Compiler – Part 2

  Introduction Welcome back! In Part 1, we walked you through the initial steps of linking Abaqus with a FORTRAN compiler, tackling some of the most common errors you might

Troubleshooting Guide for Common Errors When Linking Abaqus with FORTRAN Compiler – Part 1

    Introduction So, you’ve just installed Abaqus and a Fortran compiler, eager to dive into complex simulations and number-crunching. But wait! Something’s gone awry. Consequently, you’re hitting roadblocks, and

Additive Manufacturing

Introduction to Additive Manufacturing Additive Manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, is a revolutionary approach to fabricating physical objects. Unlike traditional subtractive manufacturing methods, which remove material to shape
