I'm trying to run Abaqus as fast as possible on a cluster. My model isn't large, but I'm coupling it to another solver that is more expensive. I'm trying to minimize the time spent in analysis by Abaqus, but I'm not seeing any speedup going from one compute node with OpenMP to two compute...
So recently, I've spent a good deal of time trying to get external python modules (that do not come with the Abaqus installation) in order to cut down on some of my file I/O time extracting Abaqus results for use in other programs (currently MATLAB since that's what most of my current tools are...
I'm attempting to extract modes of interest from a model. I expected this to be somewhat straightforward: run a frequency analysis and downselect modes based on frequency and the modal participation factor/effective mass. My model is basically a constant thickness shell of one material tied to...
I'm running an analysis that I'd like output for at specific time instances, but would rather avoid using a constant time step since a large portion of the analysis has relatively low loads, but some parts require a fine time step (this is reflected in the points I want). I've tried using the...
I'm trying to do a modal analysis of a monocoque cylindrical structure using shell elements. However, I'm getting a ton of what appear to be low frequency panel modes and the bending modes do not match the frequencies calculated through another means. In order to try and figure out what was...
I'm trying to get thermal stress results for cylindrical and conical shells. I'm having some issues though with results not matching each other (and theory)
I've ran two simple cases with the same cylinder. In both cases, I model 1/4 of the cylinder, restraining the edges such that it can...
