    Plot stress-strain curve for a specified set.

    Hello Sir, I need your help. I am trying to plot the stress-strain curve for a specified set (S33-LE33), however it seems that abaqus can extract these stresses and strains for a limited number of elements, in other words, if the number of elements exceed a certain limit, abaqus can not...

    Rigid body-mass

    Thank you very much Bartoz. Let me ask you one last question. So if i use R3D3 or R3D4, i have to define [thickness], Correct? Or i can use continum element and then change the section to rigid body. Thanks

    Hello CrazyMan, I define the density by editing KeyWords for the model: *Rigid Body, ref node=RF-2, elset=RB-2, position=CENTER OF MASS, Density = 5.12 and after adding the density i got this error message: The rigid bodies with the reference nodes contained in node set ErrNodeRefNodeNoMass...

    Rigid body-mass

    To define a density i need to assign section, however Rigid body does not accept assigning a section.

    Rigid body-mass

    Hello Sir, I am new to Abaqus, so please help me. I am using a 3D discrete Rigid body to apply pressure on a 3D deformable body. i will use abaqus explicit dynamic. This Rigid body is fixed in the horizontal direction and can move only in the vertical direction. In abaqus Explicit dynamic, i...

    Frictional shear stress exceeds the assumed limit

    Hello Chen1, i Think the if you use smaller element size you might decrease the difference between frictional shear stress you assumed and what you find in your results.

    Error message.

    Thank you Dave very much. I checked the mesh and it works. I have another question for you. I want to apply the total load on 3-steps, where in the first step 30% of the load will be applied, while in the second step 50% of the total load will be applied, and in the third step 20 % of the load...

    Error message.

    I am new user of abaqus and need help. I am modeling the unstable failure of a pillar under load control. i used abaqus explicit dynamic. I got this error message " the ratio of deformation speed to wave speed exceeds 1.0." I checked the units several times, i believe no problem with the...
