    *INCLUDE use

    Hi! I thought extension didn't matter, but I was obviously wrong. It didn't work with .txt or .out but it did with .inp. Thanks for your help!

    *INCLUDE use

    No warnings in the .dat file, it seems like it reads it no problem: *INCLUDE, INPUT=displ.out *** INPUT DATA IS READ FROM FILE displ.out Also, if I change something on the text file on purpose to generate an error, it gives me an error, meaning that it actually reads the text... I've no...

    *INCLUDE use

    Hi all, I'm performing a very simple static analysis in which I would like to have the imposed displacements read from an external text file. *INCLUDE, INPUT=displ.out Being displ.out as follows: *BOUNDARY, TYPE=DISPLACEMENT Node4,1,1,-643.818E-06 Node4,2,2,-622.048E-06 Node4,3,3,1.28927E-03...

    Input a matrix into Abaqus (*MATRIX INPUT)

    Sorry, my bad, the first problem was due to a typo... But I'm still struggling with *MATRIX INPUT+*Initial Conditions

    Input a matrix into Abaqus (*MATRIX INPUT)

    Interesting. I have tried copying the .mtx into the .inp file and it partially works. I had to copy the whole text, which is fine for small models, but perhaps not very much so for bigger matrices. I've tried using an *INCLUDE to link the .inp to the .mtx file with the *MATRIX INPUT heading...

    Input a matrix into Abaqus (*MATRIX INPUT)

    SIM file is not empty (1439 KB). Yes, the second job is in the same folder as the first one (could that be a problem?). The .dat and .msg files are totally fine with no errors: S T E P 4 M A T R I X G E N E R A T E THE FOLLOWING GLOBAL MATRICES WILL BE GENERATED AND WRITTEN TO...

    Input a matrix into Abaqus (*MATRIX INPUT)

    Hi, I still haven't managed to make this work. I just want to successfully use the *MATRIX INPUT command. So I've got the .sim file from a previous analysis (same model I attached last time). However, the following error comes up: ***ERROR: SIM database file is not a valid SIM file...

    Input a matrix into Abaqus (*MATRIX INPUT)

    Ideally I would like to have the possibility of using matrices+additional parts, but for the time being I would be happy with just matrices to keep it simple so that was my intention with that model. You are right about the *System command, I will delete it.

    Input a matrix into Abaqus (*MATRIX INPUT)

    The model is actually quite simple. It is intented as a trial for a larger model. I commented the *INPUT MATRIX parthttps://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=30b1e64e-cf61-45b3-879d-909ef71ac815&file=matrix_trial2.inp

    Input a matrix into Abaqus (*MATRIX INPUT)

    Hi FEA way, Thanks for your response. I actually thought the same and tried without part and assembly definition. In fact, I have taken that template that you mention as example but still not working for me :-(

    Input a matrix into Abaqus (*MATRIX INPUT)

    Hi all, This is what I'm currently attempting: -Run a static analysis with contacts and centifugal nonlinear effects -Use the resultant displacements and stresses in a new analysis so the contacts disappear completely (not enough with contact change). I have tried loads of different methods...
