I am fairly new to Abaqus, I have been trying to model a material with a skin around it made of rubber. I have inputed the properties of the rubber using Neo-hookean model that I have obtained from another FEA fit. My model without using the hyperelastic material properties for the rubber will converge however, when I add the hyperelastic material properties the simulation will be submited and run to only abort. If anyone has any insight that would be great. ]]> Elastomers KarimO http://polymerfem.com/showthread.php?3137-Modelling-Hyperelastic-Material-aborting http://polymerfem.com/showthread.php?3126-adhesives-and-elastomers-rubbers&goto=newpost Mon, 06 May 2013 08:30:04 GMT I had posted an earlier query.

I just had a basic question which I am not clear about. I used hyperelastic elements to model rubber/elastomer in abaqus. If I want to model an adhesive whats the exact difference between an elastomer and adhesive? Does one use hyperelastic to model adhsive also or is adhsive simply a low stiffnest elastic material?
