Thank you Mustaine3, you are right it is not possible in CAE and I had to run it through the inp. Regards, Ardalan

Hello Mustaine3, My problem is not with *Distribution or its Table, my concern is that in one of the examples that is written in the documentation as shown below, dist1 is assigned to *Elastic. How is it possible to assign dist1 in CAE in the property section, since when you make an elastic...

Hello adfergusson, This is exactly what I looking into applying in my model. Could you please guide me that how you did this?! Thank you.

Hello IceBreakerSours, I have read about distribution and discrete fields and how to make it in documentation but I don't know how to use it in material section. for example if I want to use various linear elastic material properties for let say a part made of 8 elements. How can I assign...

Hello IceBreakerSours, Thank you for your prompt reply. The *Distribution feature isn't for the 2D (shell) elements? I have hexahedral continuum elements. Regards, Ardalan

Dear All, I want to assign the material properties for each element using Abaqus. I am simulating bone and I want to assign the material properties of the bone to each voxel mesh using abaqus. The number of the elements I have is really high so I cannot manually select them. On the other hand...

I am trying to mesh a geometry using voxel mesh in mimics software but when I importing it into the abaqus, it is giving me several number of unconnected regions/elements. How can I delete the unconnected elements? my geometry is bone which is made of porosity and is giving the unconnected...

IceBreakerSours I am simulating disc degeneration in my model. The vertebrae are connected using ligaments (truss elements). I want to change the length of the disc and do range of motion tests. So I need the ligaments to lax. I want to change the behavior of the ligaments to become active when...

Dear Mustaine3, In that way I would most probably get solver problem errors. since I have many of these truss elements in my model. But I would give it a try. Regards, Ardalan

Dear IceBreakerSours maybe I asked my question in a wrong way. I want to figure out the stress caused by bending in a solid 3 dimensional material. I know that I can get the bending in beam. But I wanted to get the stress caused by bending only on my part not the total stress which is caused by...

Dear Icebreakersours, Actually yes I want to assign hyper elastic material properties to the truss elements. I want to simulate two different blocks connected by a truss elements (such as tether or rope that gets lax). after making the blocks close to each other, the trusses are also getting...

I wanted to know, if there is a way in abaqus to obtain the bending stress only on 3D solid materials. Regards, Ardalan

I want to simulate a case in abaqus that my truss element does not get activate in the very beginning. As a clear-cut example, assume its first length is 2 mm. I want it to become active when it gets to let say 6mm. So I want to define a condition for it, that it gets to a certain point of...

IceBreakerSours yes that is what exactly I want to do.

Thank you so much for your quick replies. Dear Mustaine3 it says it is optional but if the automatic incrementation is selected it should be there. Dear IceBreakerSours I am trying to use it for expanding the elements by comparing the stresses in the model to an initial stress during the step...
