I have a few questions about meshing.
Given a 2D polygon (i.e. a profile built by straight lines) of random shape:
1- Is Abaqus smart enough to mesh it without having a node at every vertex ?
2- Does it convert the polygon to a smooth curve?
3- Does Abaqus place constraints as the element...
I have an input file that refers to a bunch of .aba files but I am having problems opening them up. Would it possible to open a .aba file directly in abaqus ?
thanks!
Thanks Cooken, What would be the command for removing all the faces of a particular cell?
def sliverVolumes(modelName, pInterName):
#Class to keep only cells bigger than a certain minimum value 'paramVol': paramVol=volCell/part_volume_r
allCells = pInterName.cells
mask_r =...
Hi Cooken,
I do not think that the boolean operations are an option, at least when it comes to automation. I simply want to delete small sliver volumes like the one below:
Hi,
I am trying to write an script to remove cells in a part if the cell volume is smaller than a given value.
Is there a simple command to delete a cell?
This is what I have tried:
def sliverVolumes(modelName, pInterName):
#Class to keep only cells bigger than a certain minimum value...
I have a model in CATIA with some tags in specific faces. Basically, I want to open up the CATIA model (with the tags) in ABAQUS, check which faces are tagged and apply boundary conditions to these particular faces.
The thing is that I do not know how I can pass the tags information from CATIA...

I have a 2D shell part containing a number of shell faces. I would like to extract one different sketch for each of the faces in the part. So far I know how to create a single sketch containing all the shell faces information but this is not what I want. I would like to know how to create one...
Hello everyone,
This thing is driving me crazy. It is about the findAt() and the pointOn methods. I have a list of edges called pedges. For testing purposes I ask first for a point on a given edge and I get ((925.125, 554.1, 0.0),), then I ask abaqus to find an edge for the same point but then...
So, the subject is self-descriptive. How can I calculate the area of a face? What python command should I use?
p=mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['Part-0']
pfaces=p.faces
area of each face????
Dear all,
My question is how to programmatically relate the edges of a single shell face and the faces of the model generated when the shell is revolved.
Also I would like to know how to relate the faces of the resultant revolve and the result obtained when the revolve is intersected with...
Hello,
I would like to print some values of the variables contained within my DFLUX user subroutine to a .txt file.
In particular I would like to export FLUX(1), FLUX(2), COORDS(1.
How can I do this?
Many thanks!
Hello,
This is the first time I have to write a user subroutine in ABAQUS in my life.
Can anybody share an example of a DFLUX or HETVAL subroutine c/w the relevant .inp file?
Thank you!
Hi,
I am currently performing a thermal steady state analysis in a fin for heat dissipation. The model is basically a cylinder with a Body Heat Flux [W/m3] as a thermal load and a fin attached to the cylinder. The fin has convection applied as an interaction in all its faces. My aim is to...
