Hello,
Is it possible to create a model only using one or more substructures (no other mesh elements)?
Example: Create a substructure of a beam and retain 6 DOF for each end. Create a cantilever setup with the substructure in an implicit static step. One substrucure, one boundary condition...
Hi,
I am working on a script that creates a field output in an odb.
The odb contains an element set with shell elements (5 section points, S4).
The code I am using to get the scalar field looks like this:
stress = frame.fieldOutputs['S']
inPlaneMaxPrincipal =...
Hi,
I am trying to figure out the margin of safety for joint separation that I can allow in my structure.
The structure is a school-book example of a bolt connecting two flanges.
The standard (page 38, equation 6-23):

So far I've determined my minumum preload, FF (1.15) and FSsep (1.2)...
Hello,
I would appreciate if someone could elaborate on the following text at the bottom of table 5.7 in ASME VIII, Division 2:
"(3) E is the % elongation and RA is the % reduction in area determined from the applicable material specification."
How would one go about to obtain these parameters...
Greetings!
I have created an example model of a simple valve using the CEL method. The only load in the model is a gravity load. The model behaves in a strange way and I get very high velocities after a very short duration.
The model is attached (6.14).
The results can be seen here: Link

Greetings fellow engineers,
I have created a concept model where I for the first time included temperature in explicit. I do not trust my temperature results.
You can see the model here: OLD-LINK
Temperature reached high values (10^4) and spreads quickly.
Units I want to use: mm, N, MPa...
Hello,
I am interested to see what contact definitions engineers use in their models and why they chose it. Is general contact the future as explained to me by Abaqus themselves (6.12)? Has anyone had any problems with it?
