    Can ABAQUS model upper and lower yield strength phenomenon during tensile tests?

    Dear all, Can ABAQUS model upper and lower yield strength phenomenon during tensile tests? Any thoughts or hints would be much appreciated. Thanks! Shawn

    Axisymmetric analytical rigid: multiple surfaces?

    I have a simple model - an axisymmetric analytical rigid body, with the shape of a rectangular. I'd like to assign different friction coefficients to different edges on the rectangular. However, when I select surfaces, all the edges are always connected to be one surface. Is there a way to...

    Obtain nodal force in APDL Time History Prostprocessing

    Dear all, Before, when I applied a displacement on Node #X (actually a pilot node on a rigid body), I can use RFORCE command to extract the reaction force after POST26 (Time History Prostprocessing) Now, I am applying force load on Node #X (also a pilot node on a rigid body), I'd like to...

    How do I output displacement at a point on rigid body?

    Dear all, In ANSYS Mechanical (not the APDL), can I output the displacement at a point (vertex) on a rigid body? I tried User Defined Result which exported all displacements at all nodes. But because the rigid body is not meshed, there are no nodes nearby the point that I want to probe. Any...

    What is the stress obtained by position=ELEMENT_NODAL in odb?

    Dear all, I have a quick question: import odbAccess odb = odbAccess.openOdb(odbFilePath) frame = odb.steps[stepName].frames[frameCounter] frame.fieldOutputs['S'].getSubset(position=ELEMENT_NODAL, region=myNode) What is the stress obtained by this command? Specifically, 1) Is this averaged...

    Model cannot proceed at all after switching to force load

    Hi all, I have a very small model that runs perfectly under displacement loads. However, when I switched to force loads, the model cannot even move one step at all. Would you please help me with this? Thanks! Attachment: the inp file https://copy.com/8mpoUT8BtjfS Figure 1. The model...
