Are you sure about that? I have applied a force on the structure (more presice a collison with another body) and I believe that an increase of the material density will influence the behaviour of the structure I have modelled.
I kind of want my increase in mass only to affect the global...
Hello everyone,
I have modelled 1/4 of a shell structure. I am doing a response analysis so I need to include the mass of the whole model.
Can I do this by adding a reference point to the shell structure? If so, is the location of the RP of great importance?
Do I need some kind of constraints...
Hi!
I am performing a collision between an ice berg and a column of a moored floating platform in dynamic explicit. I have only modelled the column.
I have problems with defining proper BCs so that the response of the platform is taken care of.
Any suggestions?
I have thought about applying...
Thanks,
When I highlight the elements in visualization mode I find the element number. Can I then go back to the mesh module and find the element there?
Hi!
If I find an error in an element in the visualisation model, how can I find the same element in the mesh module so that I can fix it?
If this is not possible, how to fix an excessive rotated element?
Hope someone can help me!
I will do a collision analysis in Abaqus explicit. I get these error messages:
Error in job: The elements contained in element set ErrElemExcessDistortion-Step1 have distorted excessively.
Error in job: Excessive incremental rotation of the elements in element set...
I am new to Abaqus. I am doing a local linear analysis of a semisubmersible column. I am modelling just the mid part of a column quadrant.
I shall keep it from moving in tangential and radial direction (at different occasions), but my present coordinate system is 3D cartesian. Do I have to...
