    Phase graph is discontinuous, why?

    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...

    Phase graph is discontinuous, why?

    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...

    adjust orphan mesh from plane strain to plane stress

    You were right, thanks a lot!

    adjust orphan mesh from plane strain to plane stress

    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...

    Plot two deformed shapes over each other

    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...

    Plot two deformed shapes over each other

    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...

    node print output data U & PU

    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?

    node print output data U & PU

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

    node print output data U & PU

    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...

    output SSD complex magnitude values

    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...

    Output FRF graph to matlab

    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...

    Output FRF graph to matlab

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

    Output FRF graph to matlab

    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?

    Output FRF graph to matlab

    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...

    Print output in .dat file

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

    Print output in .dat file

    Hi, I'm trying to print the displacement of one particular node in the .dat file. I've used *node print and also *node print, Nset = picked_nodeset, I placed the lines just above the *end step, however then I get the error that: 'THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLES MUST BE ARRANGED IN ASCENDING ORDER...

    Abaqus + Matlab iterative solver

    hi! I'm trying to integrate abaqus with matlab, in such a way that I want to know the displacement for a given force on an beam structure. In matlab, the solver looks generally like this: While error >predetermined error 1. F = F + increment 2. Input the Force in the INP file of abaqus...

    [ABAQUS] Apply distributed displacement vector from SSD analysis into Quasi-static cantilever beam

    Good afternoon, Thanks, I can now indeed view your example as well, by using the input files. I did remove the user parameter, from where abaqus can now see the included files, which is great! However, I thought I would've done it correctly now, if only abaqus would provide me with the next...

    [ABAQUS] Apply distributed displacement vector from SSD analysis into Quasi-static cantilever beam

    Good afternoon, wow thanks a lot! I feel like I'm getting there. Only thing is that I am unable to open your version. Even with a conversion to the 2018 edition, it's somehow not working. I managed to create the input files by a block editing tool (pretty useful, haven't heard of it before), so...

    [ABAQUS] Apply distributed displacement vector from SSD analysis into Quasi-static cantilever beam

    Good morning, Good, good, that makes more sense now indeed. Before I perform too much unneccesary work; I extracted the output displacements as seen below: You wrote in your last comment that I have to 'add the displacements for each node'. Where exactly? Is that as a replacement for the...
