Hi Joseph
Thank you for information.If its possible,ask them please,why lineload in local (beam) cs has only 2 components.And second question: why assy.ips.pointOn return coordinates of yellow points on edges in part cs (not assy cs) in contrast with assy.edge.pointOn behaviour.Thank you in...
Hi
Here attached I`m sending you two input files.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=aa02e098-6415-425e-8202-240436cbbc52&file=Input_files.rar
In reality I want to put wind and ice loads on my frame.I will use global option of course,because there is no other way.In calculations I need not only behavior of some beam,but behavior of whole system,so I need to put all forces.I hope you understand me,excume for my english
Hi
I reassign beam section orientation to 0,0,-1 for both models and have got nearly the same results for both models.You have to check tangent directions also.
Hi
Here attached I`m sending you my script which save history output of displacements to file. Hope this helps.
from odbAccess import *
odb = openOdb(path='Job-0.odb')
steps = odb.steps #Repository
flag = -1
Us = []
Uk = ['StepName']
for stepKey in steps.keys():
flag += 1
step = steps[stepKey]...
Hi
I want to assign line load on beam element in Abaqus.
In Abaqus dialog window Line load has three components in global CS but only two in local CS.
The qwestion is, where is third component and how to assign it?
Thanks in advance
Hi
My answer is no,you can`t.I don`t use geometry interface,instead I import geometry via step file format from SW. I create separate files for shell and wire geometry.I insert ref points where it is necessary after import and use scripting extensively to connect parts.
