    Catia Ply Export

    I want to export plys using .dxf. All I want is the ply and rosette, no extra info. I've tried every combination of options in catia and it always seems to export the ply and some words, which seem to be related to the title of the ply, along with scale: 1:1. I attached a screenshot. the...

    scratch Directory 6.8-EF1

    I want to change the work directory from C:\temp to a folder on the Z drive. I added the following line to the abaqus_v6.env file and the release_abaqus_v6.env scratch = "Z:\\Frank\Analysis" The directory hasn't changed. I still have version 6.7 installed so it may be related to that but I...

    Spline through 3D points

    I have used a macro to import 3D points into Catia. When I try to fit a curve to them the curve ends up being straight lines through the mid point of each section (only using about 5 points). My question is how to get the curve to pass through all the points.

    Job Time Summary

    Thanks Basically I'm trying to draw a correlation between the number of elements and the time it takes a model to run. Then use this info to justify which one of the proposed methods is best when taking into account accuracy and computational efficiency. I'm using Abaqus standard and I believe...

    Job Time Summary

    I get the following in the .dat file after running a simulation. Can anyone explain what each of these categories mean. I know the Total CPU Time is the sum of the user time and system time. My ultimate goal is to compare test with different elements numbers and the time it takes to run but...

    Extracting Poisson's Ratio

    I am interested in extracting the overall Poisson's ratio of an object. The object is made of different materials with different properties. What I've been doing is a uniaxial tension test and using field output for the U variable to determine the change in length for each dimension, but so...
