Yes, it's a simple cantilever beam subjected to a vertical load on the end. In the specimen, a delamination is present. I increase the delamination for every steady state analysis. That's why you see a shift in the resonance frequency, as the stiffness decreases. It's a novel research, so the...

Hi all! I've got a question, I perform a Steady state analysis and have exported the phase and magnitude graph. However, there are some massive discontinities in it, while I have a lot of points in the step definiiton between the lower and upper frequency.. Any Idea where these discontinities...

You were right, thanks a lot!

Hi, Is it possible to adjust an orphan mesh from plane strain elements CPR8R to plane stress CPS8R elements? I changed the mesh in 'assign element type', however, it's not suitable to mesh the part. When I run the simulation, I get the warning: Warning: New nodes or elements have been added...

Thanks, that's what I was looking for indeed. It's working almost. From my SSD, I want to capture the 17th increment, so I specify that in the frame filter, that works. But for the Static, I cannot get that one in the bending shape yet. If I specify the last increment (111), there's still no...

Hi guys, I'm wondering, is it possible to plot both an ODS shape of a dynamic SSD analysis over a deformed shape of a static analysis? such that you can visually see the differences in the deflections? I thought of exporting all the coordinates to matlab, subtracting the deflections from it...

Nice, thanks, I read the documentation chapter. Now, I'm curious as when you say that th first line is the magnitude and the second line is the phase, why is it showing a second line for U1 and U2 as well? as they have nothing to do with magnitude and phase right?

allright thanks! and how do I see that back in the results?

hi all, I'm wondering what the output values of node print represent. I run both a frequency analysis and a SSD, which provide me the following results: while, when I solely run the frequency analysis, i get the following: Now I can't really find the interpretation of these results. I...

Good morning, I've established a SSD analysis and obtained the FRF. What I'm looking for is a way to capture the complex magnitude (which I find in Result options - complex form - magnitude) and export the data to a txt file. It would be perfect if I obtain three columns with values for...

Yes, that's exactly what I meant with my question, what lines to put in the input file outside of A/CAE. Can you print FRF values of the magnitude and the phase straight from *node print? It would be even better to output the whole graph, such that I can import the whole graph in Matlab. Any...

Also, it's an iterative loop, which is not (yet) available in Abaqus2Matlab. Therefore I have to script it manually.

Thanks for your response, but I would like to automate it and thus script it. Therefore, How can I script for instance in the input file that it will output the xy values?

Hi, I made an FRF function in ABAQUS and would like to output the graph (or at least the max value in the graph) towards matlab. Is it possible to script this in the .INP file such that it will output it in the .DAT file? As the .DAT file is what I can input in Matlab again for further...

Ah resolved! I forgot to include the variables U1, U2 just below the *node print line
