Hello everyone,
I am using the Mazars model in a damage analysis of a thermomechanical problem. Reading the official documentation of Code Aster I found out that thermal strain is not considered when evaluating damage, only the elastic strain is used. I would like to know if there is a physical or experimental reason for not taking it into account or it is simply to respect the original formulation of the model.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
Did you find a solution to the convergence issue? I am having the same problem with Mazars.
Thanks.
Hello,
First of all, thank you for answering. Sorry for my generic question, Code Aster is something new for me.
I am uploading my .comm file, I will be very pleased if you could take a look and tell me where could my error be. My geometry is a simple box, with a good mesh, and I am blocking a face and trying to apply a weight force all over the solid. I don't really obtain an error from Code Aster, but the time step gets smaller and smaller, the simulation becomes eternal and doesn't converge. The weight I am using tries to be "soft" applied and it's not realistic at all, that's because I think something is wrong. This way I could not simulate any real problem!
Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone,
I have to solve a thermomechanical problem with damage, using the Mazars model. I was able to solve separately the thermal part but convergence issues appear when trying to solve the mechanical one. If I add some load or displacement boundary conditions the errors start growing and the simulation diverges. This is due to the damage model, because I can carry out the same simulation perfectly well if I remove Mazars model and only do a thermomechanical simulation (without damage).
Has someone experimented this before? Are these convergence issues with damage models usual?
Thank you in advice,
Iván
