ProductsAbaqus/Design Elements tested
Features testedThis section includes simple tests to verify DSA for the isotropic elasticity, hyperelasticity (Ogden and polynomial models), and hyperfoam material options. The elastic material models are tested as geometrically linear cases that include temperature dependence. The hyperelastic models are tested as geometrically nonlinear cases with the material properties input as coefficients (no test data input). The material coefficients are chosen as the design parameters. For all problems sensitivities of element and node responses are verified for static steps, and for selected problems sensitivities of eigenvalues and eigenfrequencies are verified for frequency steps. Problem descriptionThe tests are performed on a square or a cylindrical block discretized with four to eight elements. The block is held fixed at one end and loaded using prescribed displacements or point loads at the other end. Key material coefficients used in defining the material models are the primary design parameters, while some shape parameters are made design parameters as appropriate. Results and discussionAll response sensitivities are verified by comparison to overall finite difference results. Input files
