Finite element modeling of the filament winding process using ABAQUS
Abstract
A comprehensive stress model of the filament winding fabrication process,
previously implemented in the finite element program, WACSAFE, was implemented
using the ABAQUS finite element software package. This new implementation, referred
to as the ABWACSAFE procedure, consists of the ABAQUS software and a pre/postprocessing
routine that was developed to prepare necessary ABAQUS input files and
process ABAQUS displacement results for stress and strain computation.
The ABWACSAFE procedure has a structure and general flow pattern similar
to the WACSAFE program. ABAQUS now performs the fundamental finite element
procedures needed in the fabrication stress model. The ABWACSAFE pre/postprocessing
routine utilizes many subroutines from the WACSAFE program. Some
subroutines are used in their original form while many were significantly modified.
New subroutines have been written as well.
