Thanks for the clarification

So the forces defined in the force vs displacement *CONNECTOR ELASTICITY table also follows the coordinates relative to local directions at the first node?

Hi everyone, I am modelling a rubber sealing with Abaqus Connector type Cartesian-Cardan. I have local coordinate system applied to the *CONNECTOR SECTION. The coordinate system is however pointing from direction Node B to Node A (see attached picture). I am using ANSA as pre-processor and the...

I removed the non-linear elastic behaviour and the test came out the same. I also ran several tests and got to a conclusion that Connector CONN3D Type AXIAL, when given or applied with *CONNECTOR MOTION, will not obey the force limit applied in the *CONNECTOR LOCK. The motion displacement gets...

Hi, Is it possible to add a *CONNECTOR LOCK to a CONN3D Element (type Axial) to make it stop when it reaches certain forces limit? The CONN3D element is applied with a *CONNECTOR MOTION. This element is connected to a solid indenter via MPC and used for indentation analysis. I've tried the...

I managed to solved this issue. In the command submission line when submitting the job, i changed memory=estimate to memory=max and the analysis was successful.

I am running SOL 200 topometry optimization and the run was terminated due to some error. I have checked the f06 file and there is no FATAL error. The f06 and f04 files seem to terminate suddenly. In the log file, i found this. 16:42:58 Acquired 100 licenses for Group CAMPUS (MSC Nastran SMP)...

For optimization, you need to use SOL200

I managed to solve this issue. It is just the consistency in units between the model and the input header. The model was converted to units kg,mm,kN,GPA,ms according to work requirement guideline, however frequency in header was set in Hz. Converting the frequency unit s^-1 to ms^-1 solve this...

Im running modal analysis and keep on getting this error. I have no idea where to check it. RBE2 and RBE3 in model seems fine. Dependency errors have been checked prior to the runs. And there is no flying items (unconncedted) in the model. At executive control section i activated acms with the...

Hi, For Abaqus Standard, when defining *CONTACT PAIR (SMALL SLIDING), if both options ADJUST=0.0 and *CLEARANCE,VALUE=0.01 is enabled, does this create strain free adjust of the surfaces to 0 so that it will be in contact and then create the clearance gap for 0.01 OR will it choose either one...

Let say i only need to mesh only a surface of a part. Theoretically if i use CFD mesh it will not affect anything since surface mesh does not have the wall boundary layer, is that right?

In ANSA, there are there types of mesh. General mesh, CFD mesh and solid structural mesh. For the solid structural mesh, it is already clear to me. I know CFD mesh is for fluid analysis But what is the difference between general mesh and CFD mesh when creating a surface mesh on an object?

Hi all, I am quite new to Nastran and now I'm trying to run a file in nastran to convert it to MNF flex-body for ADAMs. I got this error in the F06 file ^^^ ^^^ NASTRAN/ADAMS CMSORTHO=NO SELECTED ^^^ NO A-SET ORTHONORMALIZATION PERFORMED FOR SEID=0...

Has anyone any idea on how to create MNF file in ANSA using Nastran Decks. I only found step by step method on how to create MNF in Patran but i am using ANSA as my pre processing software
