    Surface Traction Error

    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

    Surface Traction Error

    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'...

    Surface Traction Error

    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=(...

    Surface Traction Error

    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

    Surface Traction Error

    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 ?

    Surface Traction Error

    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...
