I thought I was solving this by using a smooth step? Is there another way you may recommend? Thank you!

Hello I made a very simple problem to learn explicit. - I made a cylinder of steel. - I coupled the whole instance to a RP lying on the axis going through the length direction of the cylinder. - Using displacement, I rotated the RP 1 rad about the length axis. All other DOF are set to 0...

Hello Instead of a rigid bolt, I want to use a connector. I've tried both a HINGE and a PIN connector with bad results. This is my setup: With this bolt, when I pull the hinges from each other, I get good results. With a HINGE or a PIN connector to connect the holes of the hinges, the...

Hi! I am able to run a script through Abaqus, but when I try to run it through command promt I get the error IndexError: -1 My script cycles through paramters and creates and submits a job. When the job is finished, it opens the odb and extracts some values. I am able to complete the job...

Hello! I have a script that loops over a model and changes input parameters. I have enabled .waitForCompletion() so that I can pull out some data from each job. My problem is that while .waitForCompletion() is running, I cannot use the interface. I would very much just like the jobs to run in...

Thank you both! I used the dummy. That worked out ok, not very elegant, but it got the job done. I didn't get to try to save the view, but this sounds interesting, and I will try this the next time. Again, thank you for your time and help! Tore

I have made four models and opened the odbs. I need figures for my report, but they have to be in the same scale. Abaqus auto fits them, which makes them all look the the same size. Any good tips on how to choose which scale I want to see my outputs? Sorry for my english, And thank you for...

Ok, I will try this! What is confusing me is that some nodes the same, and other regions, respond continuously. Below is an updated attempt at med ascii art! ( :) ) (How does one edit posts?) '''| '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ 'P|...

Hello! I'm modelling a ball that indents a plate. When I plot PEEQ / Time curves for the nodes at contact, some nodes have a sawtooth pattern. It looks like this | /\/\/\/\/\/\/\ P| /\/ E| /\/ E| /\/ Q| /\/ | /\/...

rstupplebeen Thank you! I will have a look at this tonight after work! :)

Hi! To get to know Abaqus, I've started a side project. I want to "shoot" a ball through a barrel/pipe using only pressure to propel it. Any tips on what topics I should investigate and learn about? I just need some tips to get started. I have: - created an axissymmetric ball, and placed it...

Ah, ok. Thank you!

Hi! I am simulating an indentation on an axisymmetric model with displacement control. I then want the learn the correct force on the model. In order to get the correct global force, do I have to multiply the indenter reaction force with 2pi, or does Abaqus calculate this for me? Thank you...

Hello! I'm not quite sure how Abaqus handles different units. I have a rectangle, 5 X 10 micrometers each distance. I modeled it 5 X 10, shouldn't that be ok? My material has a youngs modulus of 14.8 GPa end yield strength of 121 MPa. Since I am operating with micrometers, do I have to...

Thank you!

Hello! I'm new to Abaqus, and I wonder if it is possible to take an .inp file, and create a model database from it? Thank you!

Hi! I'm fairly new to abaqus, but I want to create a simple indentation test. I get the error "100 elements have missing property definitions. The elements have been identified in element set ErrElemMissingSection." http://speedy.sh/bMTbM/Indentation.cae...
