Hello,
I'm trying to measure the projected area of a CATPART with respect to the three planes of the absolute reference system. Does anyone know how can that be done with a macro ?
I know how to measure the volume and the wet surface with SPA workbench but not the projected surface...
Thanks !
Hello everyone,
I would like to apply a variable distributed load to an edge of my model, something like this :
When I do the BDF the force is moved to the nodes but the problem is that values are not coherent at all :
If I want to make my own BDF not using Patran, how can I find this...
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know how can I obtain the equation of the buckling coefficients for a composite plate ?. I want to know the function of this kind of chart :
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to obtain the strains from a model. I request the "E" variable into the .INP in order to do so but what I found into the ODB is the "LE" (logarithmic strain).
Does anyone knows why? Is there anyway to change between them mathematically?
Hello,
I’m trying to find the free body loads of a beam but when I do a simple verification the results are not OK.
What I obtain from hand-made calculs are not the same as FEM show me.
For example, I should obtain a moment of 5.0E3 and in FEM I obtain 4.385E3.
why?
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for the equivalent to a Nastran's RBE3 in Abaqus. As far as I know the 'Distributing Coupling' should be the same but actually what I obtain is only a distribution of the applied load in the master node to the slaves nodes (and that was not supposed to happen with...
Hello everyone,
I'm having some troubles with the Abaqus' FreeBody tool. When I cut my model, the value of the resultant force in the section change if I change the cutting angle and it shouldn't.
Why is this happening?
Hello,
I have a strange problem with the Field Output of Abaqus. Actually, I would like to output the results only for a elements set but I can't.
If I use this code into the .inp :
*Output,Field,Variable=preselect
*Elements output,elset=foo_set,Variable=preselect
What I obtain in the .odb...
Hello everyone,
How can I get the results only for a node or elements set from an ODB?
I have already launched the analysis with:
*Element Output....
But when I get the ODB and I try to generate a report for these elements or nodes what I get is the whole model!
Hello everyone,
I'm doing a quite simple exercice in Abaqus but I'm not getting coherent results. I have a shell with an applied thickness into a structure.
This structure have a flexion force and when I check the strains in the upper and lower side of the shell they are OK but the strains in...
Good morning to everyone!
I'm trying to deal with a really simple problem in abaqus but I'm a newbie and I don't know how to solve it.
I have a shell with some S4 elements. I would like to obtain the strain of each S4 in the default coordinate system and to obtain the strain of one of these...
