    I can't edit the mesh controls on an orphan mesh is this possible?

    I am running a contact simulation through Abaqus explicit and have noticed that I am getting hour glassing errors in the results. I want to change the stiffness relaxation in the mesh controls to enhanced but the program says an orphan mesh can only be editted using the edit mesh tools. Is there...

    Abaqus Interaction, dont understand why this wont work

    sorry about this, I'm not the best at describing things but I'll give it another go, the simulation is being run through Abaqus explicit, the set up when it works is: -There are two parts, the floor and the skull model -There are two steps defined: Initial and step1(created and dynamic...

    Abaqus Interaction, dont understand why this wont work

    I have contact interactions defined and they work fine when the velocity on the model is defined as a pre-defined field but seems to ignore them when its switched to boundary conditions, is there something I need to change to the interaction? there defined in step1. Thanks

    Abaqus Interaction, dont understand why this wont work

    Hey, I am currently doing research that involves using Abaqus to run simulations. The simulation I am running is for a skull model to impact a floor, unfortunately when I run the simulation the skull passes through the floor as if it wasn't there. I have got the model to work successfully using...
