Hi there, In order to get the coordinates of specific nodes: 1) Define the node set 2) Field output request->Domain: Set-> Your node set->Volume/Thickness/Coordinates-->COORD 3) Then, if you want to assess the nodal coordinates of your set with a python script, you should use...

Hi all, I am trying to expand a folded balloon with Abaqus/Explicit. I use membrane elements to discretise it, and I am defining self contact for the balloon elements (general contact). The problem is that even if I have designed the folded crossing profile of the balloon with a mush bigger...

I am doing some design studies and I want to show that the proposed design is being well attached with the other surface and limits the unwanted gaps. Therefore, contours would be a good way to illustrate the full 3D geometry..

Thanks a lot again for your instant response. However, I don't have only two points. I have two surfaces (three dimensionally non-uniform distributed in space) that after their contact I want to illustrate the potential gaps between each other. Therefore, the distance between the surfaces will...

Sorry, is CDISP available only for an ABAQUS/Standard analysis? I am using Abaqus/Explicit and I cannot request CDISP for a contact pair.

I just want to present the gap (distance) after the deformation between two surfaces with contours. I tried to present it with contact pressure, however, I want a more precise representation of the distance between the two instances. When I say during the analysis, I mean that I want the...

Hi there, I was wondering whether I could somehow require distance contours between a node set and a surface during my analysis. The only option that I can use is from CAE file Options->Query->Distance, however, is there any way of presenting the magnitude of the gap between two surfaces or a...

Hi there, I would like to ask if is there any way of running an old job with an additional step. Let's say that I run an explicit 2-step job with the input=oldjob.inp corresponding to the oldjob.odb output file. I would like to create an additional step after the 2nd step and instead of running...

Thank you very much for your instant response. I shorted out. I used density value similar to that of the ring and now it works much better.

Hi there, I am trying to simulate a stent crimping step in Abaqus explicit. I have a metal alloy stent-ring and through a cylindrical surface I want to crimp it down. I meshed the surface with SFM3D4R elements and I apply uniform radial displacement on surface's nodes. I have constrained its...

This part is a small segment of a stent model. Actually, I thought about using beam elements but the analysis will be a contact analysis (contact between stent and artery) therefore, I m not sure whether using beam element would be beneficial or not. Concerning the model, maybe I have to...

Thank you for your instant response. I already did that and it still looks distorted at the tips. The problem is that if I had to analyse this part it could not be a problem for me. However, this is a small segment of my complete model and when I m importing the complete one it looks much more...

Hi, I have created a model (mm dimensions) in Rhino 5 and I imported to Abaqus 6.9-3 as a .sat file. The problem is that my model looks very distorted. It seems that there is a rendering problem. I refined the rendering both in Rhino and Abaqus (by curve refinement-->extra fine) but it still...
