Hi, If you don't need results on the bearing itself, you don´t need need to introduce the ball bearing component. You can model it using conectors and couplings. Check the manuals for those elements. Matias

I've obtained a solution from another Abaqus group. I paste it here in case someone else find it useful: --------------------------------------------- This should be relativley straight forward. Just click the appropriate buttons to do what you want, then look in the *.rpy file. It should have...

I need to automatize a video creation process using a python script. I have a odb and need to create a script capable of: - Define common plot options and Contour plot options - Define active frames - Animate time history - Save image animation I have little experience with abaqus scripting...

I think the results are OK end the apparent grow in diameter is due to the scale factor of the deformed shape and/or the perspective. You should measure the displacement at one point of the outer diameter of the unconstrained face and check if the result is consistent. Hope it helps.

Hi, In a Steady-state step, the magnitude of the force is constant for all frequencies. I think you have to divide the displacement value by the force applied (constant). If you use a force of magnitude=1, the diagram you get is displacement/force on the Y-axis and frequency on the X-axis hope...

I'm running Abaqus 6.10.1 on Win7-64 and have't seen any issues. matias

Can't you use a hydrostatic load only? With hydrostatic load you can model any kind of triangular load... matias

Thanks rstupplebeen and CharlieM80 for your answers. What I'm trying to model is a Kaplan turbine shaft. It's a vertical shaft supported by two bearings and subjected to a magnetic body force on the top end (generator). This body force is attractive, depending on the distance between rotor and...

no one? :(

Hi All, I'm trying to model a magnetic interaction between a shaft an the stator. The magnetic interaction behaves like a spring with negative stiffness: When the shaft approaches the stator, the attraction force increments. I've tried using a connector element with negative stiffness, but...
