    Assigning material properties to each element

    Dear All, I want to assign the material properties for each element using Abaqus. I am simulating bone and I want to assign the material properties of the bone to each voxel mesh using abaqus. The number of the elements I have is really high so I cannot manually select them. On the other hand...

    Unable to get rid of unconnected elements

    I am trying to mesh a geometry using voxel mesh in mimics software but when I importing it into the abaqus, it is giving me several number of unconnected regions/elements. How can I delete the unconnected elements? my geometry is bone which is made of porosity and is giving the unconnected...

    Measuring Bending stress on 3D Solid elements in abaqus

    I wanted to know, if there is a way in abaqus to obtain the bending stress only on 3D solid materials. Regards, Ardalan

    Truss elements and precondition

    I want to simulate a case in abaqus that my truss element does not get activate in the very beginning. As a clear-cut example, assume its first length is 2 mm. I want it to become active when it gets to let say 6mm. So I want to define a condition for it, that it gets to a certain point of...

    USDFLD and automatic time incrementation

    I am using a USDFLD subroutine for my FE analysis. I wanted to know if I can use USDFLD subroutine with the automatic time incrementation? I have read in the documentation that PNEWDT is allowing the subroutine to work with automatic incrementation but I wanted to be sure if I need to define any...

    Shear force wrt a local coordinate system in abaqus

    Hello I want to obtain the shear force with respect to a local coordinate system in a set of elements in Abaqus? What output should I ask for? I used NFORC output but in the ODB when I change the Coordinate system the NFORC1, NFORC2 and ... values are not changing. Please help me to get the...

    CONNECTORS IN ABAQUS

    I have figured out a complicated situation that I cannot model through Abaqus. At first, two nodes should translate without any rotation with respect to each other using a coordinate system (axial connector), then at the second step they can translate and rotate with respect to an axis of...

    How can I change the connector types in different steps

    Hello, I want to change the behavior of the connector in abaqus after a step. First I want to translate a box toward another one using translator connector then I want to change its behavior at the second step to MPC pin. I have read that I can do it using field variables but I do not know how...
