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...
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...
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...
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...
