    Create newfield with the results from the mid-section of beam elements

    Hi, thank you for your reply. I run the script through the command line, typing something like: 'abaqus cae nogui=Scriptname.py' The full code is: from abaqusConstants import * from odbAccess import * odbPath = 'C:/Users/UB53/Desktop/WORKFOLDER/EP-SENt/HEX/average/H100_S10_M12.odb/'...

    Create newfield with the results from the mid-section of beam elements

    Hi all, I am working on a script that creates a field output in an odb containing beam elements. I want to do something really simple, to create an element output with the average of the top and bottom section point strain(average of section point 1 and 5) To extract the 'bottom' data I try the...

    Shear out in acrylic

    I like the idea of the bushing, am I correct in thinking that the compression of both sides of the bushing help distribute the load, and thus reduce the local shearing stress on the plastic?

    Shear out in acrylic

    Hi all, I am designing a small experiment where I have a pinned joint near the edge of a sheet of PMMA. I considered the formula e=F/(2*S*t), where e is the minimum distance from the centre of the hole to the edge of the plate, F the applied load, S the shear strength, and t the thickness of...

    Import Deformed Field in Explicit simulation

    I have a simulation where I want to import a deformed field and run with different conditions. This is similar to what we do for Initial Imperfection studies with Eigenvalue bucklings: I run a simulation and take the deformed eigenmodes and use in the next simulation via *Imperfections. The...

    Fracture mechanics - crack tip field

    Dear all, I have a question on the crack-tip displacement field in Mode 1 loading. This is usually given by an equation of the form: u_ij=K/G * f(r,theta) where u_ij are the displacement components, K the SIF and G the shear modulus. My question is regarding this modulus, does the presence of...

    Memmory allocation problem

    Hi all, I am running some large simulations on a HPC cluster. When submitting I get the following error, before the input file processor finishes: " ***ERROR: UNEXPECTED ALLOCATION REQUEST THAT EXCEEDS 2GB. YOU CAN TRY DECREASING THE MODEL SIZE OR RUN THE JOB WITH MORE DOMAINS."...

    python script parallel post-processing

    Hi everyone, I am collecting results from a very large .ODB (4GB) using a python script, this is taking me a very long time. I wonder if anyone knows if it is possible to run the following code in parallel or have any suggestions to speed it up? As you can see I already have a node set so as to...
