    Creating a custom output

    Hello, I have a question regarding custom outputs in ABAQUS,and I'm hoping someone can steer me in the right direction! I'm trying to create and display an output that takes into account each element's modulus and density. The idea is to, for each element, display its strain energy density...

    Find Contact Pairs

    Hi, I've got a knee model with plenty of parts that "should" be in contact. I'm trying to use the GUI "Find Contact Pair" option, but it tells me that no candidates can be found. I've broadened the search criteria, but no avail. There should be PLENTY of potential contact pairs. Any ideas as to...

    Surface Contact Extension

    Hello, I'm having a bit of difficulty creating surface constraints in ABAQUS. Currently, I have an imported mesh of a knee generated from ScanIP. I set up contacts in ScanIP, and so when I import it, ABAQUS recognizes the contact nodes from the original mesh. However, I'll be putting a load at...

    Attachment Constraint Issues

    Hi, I'm modeling a knee and having a bit of difficulty with setting up my attachments. Using Simpleware, I've created the finite element model and duplicated the nodes at every contact surface in order to develop my constraints through ABAQUS. I'm not entirely sure as to which attachment method...
