Hi: I'm trying to recreate the Electroelastic Analysis of a MEMS Switch that appears on the online help. I'm using the APDL directly (no commands). Despite the units, model (imported parasolid), mesh, etc. are entered, when I try to obtain some the deformation solution, no result is shown...

The problem is that I don't have any instrutor anymore, Im on my own. It was only a brief course!

Hi: I'm new with abaqus and this is my question: Im trying to get the displacement of the free end of a cantilever beam using abaqus standard, for some reason, the real displacemente (5.103mm) is not reflected on the .dat file. I vaguely remember the instructor saying that the displacement is...

You can use the join feature but this time deselect the "check continuity" option and press the "add mode" button. Finally close the joint feature with "close surface".

Sure it's possible, just add each part individually!

Do you have to fix the code if the license is on another server? I tried to run this macro at my job and indicated an error on this line: licenseSettingAtt1.SetLicense "SPA.prd", "SPA.prd" that license is available (manually).

That's a very interesting method. Can you provide some piece of code? Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much. There's no way I could figure out this code (it seems quite advanced to me).

I know that Im abusing of your kindness, but can you help me with a little piece of code?. To be honest with you, I dont really know what are you exactly talking about. Thank you in advance.

Well, I've been trying to do EXACTLY that, unfortunately in the best scenario you will get duplicated points since the macro will detect points for the outter and inner diameter (see my post: Remove duplicate point macro). ON other "not so kind" scenarios, the macro will recognize even the lines...

And how the "identifier" is created. Can you elaborate?

Hi: I'be trying to develop a macro to remove duplicated points. So far I can manage to extract the coordinates of all points in the whole part or geometrical set. Can someone give a hand, at this point I feel that Im stuck. Here is one portion of the code (don't mind if something is...

Sure it's possible. Just use the command point/circle sphere center on the edges of the tube. Once you have those points, link them with lines (only the straight portions) as indicated in the attached image. After that, use the intersecion option from the generative shape design workbench to get...

So... there's no way to solve this problem without involving the IT guys?
