Overview of 2D Periodic Boundary Condition Plug-in in Abaqus
The Abaqus Plug-in (EngSoft_PBC2D) allows users to easily apply 2D periodic boundary condition in Abaqus to cubic representative volume element (RVE) models.
It is specifically developed for accurate simulation of composite materials and microstructural models in two dimensions.
🔹 Automatic or User-Defined Mesh
The plug-in can automatically generate the mesh for simple geometries.
Alternatively, users can apply their own custom mesh. This provides flexibility for both quick setups and detailed RVE configurations.
🔹 Accurate Node Matching and Tolerance Control
The tool identifies and matches corresponding boundary nodes based on a user-defined tolerance.
As a result, it ensures perfect periodicity across all RVE boundaries.
🔹 Versatile Loading Options
It supports tension, compression, and shear loading along all two axes.
Moreover, users can study material behavior under a wide range of loading conditions.
🔹 Full Compatibility with Abaqus Versions
EngSoft_PBC2D is compatible with all versions of Abaqus software, ensuring that you can apply 3D periodic boundary condition in Abaqus without worrying about version differences. This makes it easy to integrate into any existing workflow or upgrade your Abaqus version in the future.
🔹 Compatibility with EngSoft 2D RVE Plug-ins
EngSoft_PBC2D_V1 works seamlessly with other EngSoft 2D RVE plug-ins, including:
EngSoft_UD2D– A plug-in that generates Uni Directional circular inclusions within 2D RVE models, ideal for studying Uni Directional composites with random microstructures.
EngSoft_RandRec– A tool for creating 2D RVEs with randomly distributed rectangular inclusions, allowing users to model anisotropic or fiber-reinforced composites.
EngSoft_RandElli– A generator for 2D RVEs with randomly oriented elliptical inclusions, useful for simulating materials with complex, irregular microstructures.
Together, these plug-ins provide a complete workflow from 2D microstructure generation to periodic boundary condition application in Abaqus, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in composite material analysis.
