    A question about modeling an offshore jacket platform in ABAQUS

    Hi. As an academic research I want to model an offshore jacket platform in ABAQUS. I don't know which element to use for modeling legs, braces, ... . I want to check for buckling in all elements during analyses in addition to strength criteria.I don't want to model connection details. All...

    A Question about modeling an offshore jacket platform in ABAQUS

    Hi. As an academic research I want to model an offshore jacket platform in ABAQUS. I don't know which element to use for modeling legs, braces, ... . I want to check for buckling in all elements during analyses. (I don't want to model connection details. All connections are of fixed types) 1- Is...

    Specializing output files

    Oh I simply did it. just adding these line in my code: ECHO Y | DEL *%counter%.dat* ECHO Y | DEL *%counter%.inp* ECHO Y | DEL *%counter%.com* ECHO Y | DEL *%counter%.odb* ECHO Y | DEL *%counter%.prt* ECHO Y | DEL *%counter%.sim* ECHO Y | DEL *%counter%.sta* ECHO Y | DEL *%counter%.log*

    Specializing output files

    Thanks. You know I want to find the maximum internal pressure that some pipes (with different characteristics) can undergo before collapsing and I just need the step time in which the analysis has stopped by exceeding the predefined minimum increment which can be found in the msg file. you I...

    divided part to 2 parts

    Hello. You can easily do it in ABAQUS. In part module : tools > partitions... You need to study some tutorials before questioning here :)

    Specializing output files

    Hello everybody I want ABAQUS produces only ".msg" files after running models. I'm running a lot of models by a batch file and you know I need just msg files not other files and some of them will occupy too much space like odb files which lead me to some trouble. I'm using a code like this How...

    TrueGrid« mesh generator

    Thanks IceBreakerSours. You know, another perfect feature of TrueGrid is that you can easily perform huge parametric analysis. With the aid of small program (written in any language) you are really able to produce 5000 inp files in less than a day and then run all of them automatically and...

    TrueGrid« mesh generator

    I know this forum is about ABAQUS but I didn't find any forum concerning about TrueGrid and many ABAQUS users prefer to create their mesh by this great software for special purposes. My question: In TrueGrid® when I applied pressure loading it was not created when i checked by "condition"...

    Hi, I have a simple model under a l

    Thanks sdebock. Can you explain the first option. you know I've already use it. But when I checked the reports I saw that the biggest mises stress is lower then the ultimate stress that I introduced by the stress-strain curve of my material. Another question: What does it mean? when I was...

    Hi, I have a simple model under a l

    Thank you corus. No, My material and geomery are nonlinear. My material has hardening effects and I have introduced its stress-strain curve in plastic behavior in the program. what's your suggestion?

    Hi, I have a simple model under a l

    Hi, I have a simple model under a load. I want to find the load in which the von mises stress in one point in my model reaches a critical value. My model is a single pipe and the loading is internal gas pressure. I didn't find any tools in ABAQUS to define this criterion. How can I find this...

    High quality mesh refinement in ABAQUS

    Thank you compositesFEAguru. Yes I can. You can see my model below with five partitions. I used edge seeds, sweep and structured mesh but didn't work. I want my elements be Hex and I think tie introduces some discontinuity to the model.

    High quality mesh refinement in ABAQUS

    Thank you IceBreakerSours. Of course partitioning is needed and I have used partitioning but I really think it needs more advanced techniques. If you have examples which have used these types of meshing kindly attach it hear.

    High quality mesh refinement in ABAQUS

    Hello. I have modeled an elbow in ABAQUS and I want to refine my mesh in more critical regions like the photo below. I tried all mesh generation tools provided by the program but did not work. How can I do it? Thank you.
