I have found some arcs to be not as smooth as I would like and some times the fillet feature in CAD will leave edges you need to trim in Abaqus, but not so many problems that you couldn't clean up the sketch a little and work from there. I usually save my files as a 2010 dxf.
Sorry I could...
Make sure that the model is in the position you want it in (orientation, etc.), remove all excess layers and words, title blocks then save the CAD file as a dxf.
when you start your abaqus model import the sketch(es).
create a new part then just add the sketch you imported.

Yes corus, during the analysis I have one contact control set for automatic over closure tolerances, friction to be onset immediately and the automatic stabilization is on.
Thanks to you both for the tips. The deformation scale was set at one. However, I discovered that I needed to redefine the interactions and turn the auto stabilization on. My model has successfully made it through step 1, make-up. Make-up includes 7 interactions.
Currently, the model halts...
Hello all. I'm new to the group, but I've been browsing trying to find helpful hints for my abaqus model. I am very new to abaqus.
I'm modeling a threaded connection (box and pin) including contact. My model has 4 steps (initial, make-up, internal pressure and compression) which simulate the...
