    Abaqus FEM simulation of Pneunet Actuator

    When I go to the other Hex and Wedge tabs, the hybrid element option is enabled, even my hex element is actually C3D20H and not C3D8R as shown in the input file, below I attach the image, so I believe the only remaining solution is to change it in the .inp file, right? And then try running the...

    Abaqus FEM simulation of Pneunet Actuator

    Thanks for the reply, I found two types of elements in the file, C3D8R and C3D10H, the second one I think is the right one with the H for Hybrid and being the same one that appears in the images I posted above, right? With that in mind, why did another type of element appear? What should I do...

    Abaqus FEM simulation of Pneunet Actuator

    Can you give me more instructions on how to do this? I followed a tutorial to make the simulation, I don't know where I can check if the elements are really hybridized

    Abaqus FEM simulation of Pneunet Actuator

    Hi guys, I'd like some help with a simulation of a flexible actuator. When I start the job after a while I get 3 errors like this: "INCOMPRESSIBLE HYPERELASTIC MATERIALS CAN ONLY BE USED WITH HYBRID, PLANE STRESS, OR 1D ELEMENTS." and the simulation doesn't run. What I couldn't understand is...
