Product: Abaqus/Standard
Benefits: Fluid pipe and fluid pipe connector elements are now available in the Abaqus/Standard element library to model fluid flow in pipes using the pore pressure degree of freedom. These elements add more flexibility in modeling coupled pore pressure–displacement and coupled temperature–pore pressure–displacement analyses.
Description: Fluid pipe elements FP2D2 and FP3D2, suitable for modeling incompressible pipe flow, and fluid pipe connector elements FPC2D2 and FPC3D2, suitable for modeling the junction between two pipes, are available in Abaqus/Standard. These elements have only pore pressure degrees of freedom.
