Description

The spherical inclusion models are generated through an iterative process with a Volume fraction ranging from 18% to 35%. The particle radius is set as a constant equal to r = 10µm. No interpenetration is permitted between each particle. The RVE width is Wp = 50µm for the periodic models. For the non-periodic, the cubical domain of each periodic model is cropped to a smaller width Wnp = 38µm < Wp − r/2 such that the periodicity constraint is annihilated. All the files are given in the .inp format from Abaqus. A classic RVE is provided with periodic models for them to be embedded. Along with non-periodic models, an enveloped RVE is provided with a thickness of 1 and a mesh density of 0,1.

Steps to reproduce

Mote3D is used to generate the Abaqus script to generate the sphere for a given set of parameters (sphere radius, number of sphere, domain size...). Then the 3D model is meshed thanks to Abaqus and exported as an .inp file.
