Mutliscale designer with abaqus
Hello,
Have anyone tried to use the mutliscale designer with abaqus as solver. I intend to use multiscale designer to generate a material model that will be used to model progressive damage. I wanted to know if there is any known problem with using abaqus as solver. I see in the manual that element deletion is not supported while using multiscale designer with abaqus. Has this been fixed is there any update on this.
Regards

i tried to run simulation of a simple tension test (a shell model in abaqus) using multiscale non linear material model following the manual. But the results doesnt capture non-linearity and stress just keeps increasing. But the virtual tension test(UNT/C) in MDS seems to give more reasonable result. Thats why I was wondering if this problem is specific to abaqus, have anyone tried it?
i don't think there's any issue with using Abaqus as solver with MDS.
I believe the embed documentation covers the steps and limitations concerning this connection.
In MDS as far as I understand, you would embed the failure modes into the material model, and then get a uservariable as an output, pointing for possible failures or not, so there will not be explicit element deletion itself, but a 'flag' showing for failures for each element.
