Thanks! Both of these posts have been extremely helpful. I'm looking at mass scaling, and trying to assess whether it effects the overall results. I've also set up an implicit model.
I like the ideas of changing the density and/or minimum element length. I changed the density of the...
Hi everyone
I have a question regarding simulation time. In general, I want to speed up the time it takes to run my simulation. In fact, I think the simulation should take less than 2 hours but instead it takes about 2 days. I explain the details of this simulation below.
I have a...
My apologies - the code above does not show the indentations of my actual code, here it is again:
# Define variables:
from odbAccess import *
odb = openOdb('TheJob-1.odb')
step1 = odb.steps['DynamicStep']
# Last frame in step
frame = step1.frames[-1]
# Initialize a variable
max_stress = 0.00
#...
I am trying to write a python script that determines and extracts the max Mises stress (from an .odb file) on a body in a dynamic simulation. Note that the stress will change with respect to both time and location. It seems like a fairly easy code theoretically - just determine that max stress...
I am trying to write a python script for a parametric study in ABAQUS. Part of this involves importing data from other .txt files into the amplitudes of my loads (the tabular amplitude in ABAQUS). How do I write this in my python code? In other words, how do I write a python code that imports...
I am trying to run a subroutine with ABAQUS for the first time. In the command window, I type:
Job=(name) user=(name)
Then an error box pops up titled "Unsupported 16-bit Application" and says the following:
"The program or feature "\??\C:\SIMULIA\temp\job.com cannot start or run due to...
Any ideas? Basically, all I want to do is pull up my .odb script, find where the amplitudes are applied in the scripts (I already did this) and write some command that automatically imports this tabular data from a specific location on a matrix on a .mat or .txt file. This way, I can just run...
Hello everyone
So I know only basics about ABAQUS/CAE - enough to make things work, but never in an efficient manner.
Right now I have time-varying loads being applied to a robotic arm at various locations. There are three separate parts. In each Part, different time-varying loads are...
Just checked, and the material properties and sectional assignments are fine. Also I checked and I have indeed been looking at the time history animation, as opposed to a harmonic animation. So, unfortunately I have not solved my problem.
I have stress values around 10 MPa on aluminum, so I...
I am trying to run a modal analysis (via the "Frequency Step") for an aluminum, circular bar that can slide in and out of a circular base. In other words, the bar is confined inside a circular base, where the diameter of the base is 0.004 "units" larger than the diameter of the bar...
These comments are great. Thanks.
When I am back to my work computer I will check on the mesh, material properties, etc as well as whether or not I actually used the "Time History" animations in my viewer. If not I will try to upload the INP.
So, I'm a new guy with respect to Abaqus. I ran a model (for a very basic robotic arm) and I am getting reasonable stress values. However, I am getting an outrageous displacement values. I originally did not notice this since Abaqus automatically scales your results with the "Deformation Scale...
