This is what I get and this is exactly the surface where I need the shear to be !
Also, I partition and make holes in the part after this. So finally, the part should look at this:
So it seems my part is consituted of many shell elements. But it wasn't a problem until I used this command
So I removed the argument "distributionType=UNIFORM" (which doesn't change anything because the default value is uniform) but I still get the problem..
Do you maybe have any other ideas ?
Also here is how I defined the surface:
myModel.parts['Part'].Surface(name='LoadSurface'...
Thank you for your answer !
Yes I also looked online in the ABAQUS Scripting Reference.
Here is the code I used to construct my shear force:
myModel.SurfaceTraction(createStepName='StepName',
directionVector=(...
Thank you for your comment, I will try this
Also, what I forgot to mention is that I used the exact same surfaces for other load types (pressure) and it is perfectly working ! It just doesn't work when I create Surface Traction
Yes, I also thought of that, I tried to create my surface traction, directly on the gui (using the same vertices + same surfaces) and When I use the code from the .jnl file, it also doesn't work.
Would you have any advise on how should I proceed ?
Good morning,
I am currently doing a project in my university, and for that project I need to use ABAQUS and more particularly use Surface Traction to simulate Shear Forces.
However, everytime that I am using the python script where I create the Surface Traction, Abaqus just stops.
I get many...
