I would like to simulate a process, I know T,p, and the selectivity. Can I calculate the reagent conversion in Aspen Plus?
In that case, what kind of reactor should I use?
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
I am trying to simulate Multiphase CHT problem. In my case, there are two fluids, air and water. I want to simulate water side as a Multiphase Mixture Model. Heat is rejected from air to water so I should simulate water side with airside but i can't define air side's cell zone conditions as air material. I tried to define air as a secondary phase(with vapor) but the air has became transformable to vapor and from water. Then analysis diverged. How can i define air material without defining as a phase?(Air and water do not mix. They are separated by wall.)
I want to use Seataurus to simulate resonant tunnel diodes, but I don't know what to do.
Please teach me,thanks !
I would like to simulate an object in orbit using Abaqus, and I'm seeking advice on the appropriate boundary conditions to consider. Specifically, I'm interested in modeling how space debris might impact a cylindrical hull orbiting in space, but I'm not sure where to begin.
In my research, I have not found clear guidance on how to approach this simulation, including how the International Space Station (ISS) is typically modeled. I would appreciate any insights or recommendations on how to set up the simulation and which boundary conditions to include, such as initial position, speed, and fixed center of mass. Thank you in advance for your help.
Hello fellow Abaqus users,
I've been working with Abaqus for the past two years and have encountered a significant issue in my simulations related to the plastic deformation of sheet metals. Specifically, I am trying to simulate a two-stage process: the first stage involves the conventional deep drawing of a metal blank, and the second stage is referred to as "flattening," where another tool deforms the drawn blank in an attempt to make it flat by pushing it backward.
In my simulations, I'm using Abaqus Explicit, where the tools are modeled as rigid surfaces, and the blank is represented as an isotropic material using shell elements with a thickness of 1 mm.
The problem I'm facing is that when I impose a movement of 14 mm for the punch in the simulations, I obtain results indicating that the punch is moving only 13.52 mm. Similarly, in the flattening stage, I set the flattening dies to arrive at a distance of 1 mm, but they actually arrive at 0.8 mm. This discrepancy of just 0.2 mm in the final stage of flattening could significantly impacts the simulated force.
Here are some details about my simulation setup:
- Blank is modeled with shell elements (squares with 2 mm dimensions).
- I'm using the penalty method for contact (not kinematic contact).
- Tangential behavior is defined with a penalty of 0.15, representing the friction coefficient.
- Normal behavior is modeled as "hard contact" to prevent the blank from penetrating the tools, and detachment is allowed after contact.
I haven't made any significant modifications to other parameters, and I've used default configurations for shell elements in the mesh module. I also haven't implemented any contact control algorithms. Interestingly, I've noticed that this strange behavior of the rigid tools not reaching their intended positions doesn't occur when using 3D elements.
I did some mesh sensitivity and this seems not to be the problem.
My questions are:
1) how can I have a precise control on the movement of the tools in Abaqus? Form me having 0,5mm of difference can be problematic.
2) Do you think this issue is related to the mesh or some aspect of the contact algorithm? Or maybe related to the mesh?
I'd appreciate any insights or suggestions to help me resolve this problem and achieve more accurate simulation results.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

I want to simulate a DPM model with mesh disc like the first attached image.(thickness 0.03mm, hole size 3um)
In the flow field, air and micro water droplets would go through this mesh disc(only circle area), so I define the circle area with many tiny holes as porous zone.
But I'm not sure how to calculate the viscous resistance, C0, C1, and porosity in the porous zone.
By the way, could I use this model to check if any water droplets within a range of diameters can go through the mesh?(since we cannot define the hole sizes on the porous zone)

Hi
I am new to LAMMPS, and trying to learn how to simulate liquid molecular environments, I was looking for a way of generating input structure files, I've come across so many different software (such as vmd and its plugins which is not user friendly and was a waste of time), does anyone know any good tutorial to learn how to build such input file (if we don't use already available pdb files)? I am quite familiar with Gaussian, is there any way to get the structure of one molecule from the Gaussian and build the pdb file based on that? I understand that we probably need more than one molecule as the input molecular structure.
Hi community,
I would like to change the 5QI parameter and observe its impact on latency and packet delivery. To accomplish this, I require an emulator or simulator capable of simulating 5G communication and supporting 5QI. It is preferable that I can modify the 5QI during runtime. I am aware that, in a real scenario, this can be achieved by utilizing PDU session modification. However, I have been unable to find a simulator that offers this feature. As a result, an alternative option would be to terminate the existing PDU session and create a new one. Could you please suggest an emulator or simulator that supports 5QI and ideally 5QI modification? Additionally, I would greatly appreciate a brief explanation of how I can perform these actions.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello ResearchGate community,
I am currently working on antenna simulations and I am in need of guidance regarding the selection of an appropriate antenna simulation tool. My objective is to accurately simulate antenna behavior, obtain power patterns, and determine beam width, depth, and height.
I have previously attempted to use MATLAB's Phased Array System for antenna simulations, but I encountered unexpected results when simulating two antennas with a large spacing between them. Instead of observing two separate beams as expected, I only observed one beam. This raised questions about the accuracy and practicality of using MATLAB's Phased Array System for such scenarios.
Now, I am interested in exploring the use of non-array directive antennas, specifically the Gaussian antenna (spiral Archimedean), to enhance system performance and address challenges such as mutual coupling and sidelobe interference. I want to investigate whether utilizing non-array directive antennas can offer advantages over array-based systems, particularly in terms of system performance improvement, problem-solving capabilities, and the ability to track user movement.
To conduct a comprehensive analysis, I am seeking advice on the most suitable antenna simulation tool. I would like recommendations based on factors such as accuracy, ease of use, versatility, computational efficiency, and availability of advanced features. Additionally, if there are any open-source or freely available simulation tools that can provide comparable results to commercial software packages, I would greatly appreciate knowing about them.
Your insights and recommendations would be invaluable in guiding my research. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
