ABAQUS

Abaqus has lots of interesting subroutine that can be used. For example, UVARM subroutine cam be created to read the value of stress and convert it into cycle to failure. This make engineers easier to tailor the design before proceed to production. In this model, a quarter model of rubber engine mount is analyzed. The fatigue correlation is obtained from literature which correlates the fatigue life with the value of strains.
