    Low cycle fatigue with Explicit?

    Hi, I need to model repeated impacts fatigue. Balls hit a surface with interval 1 sec, one after another. Damage begins after 200...10.000 hits. A single impact is modelled with Abaqus Explicit. To model 5 impacts, i can make 5 steps, for instance. But I can not use Low Cycle fatigue Step in...

    Saving ODB File by Python: error attempt to truncate read only table

    Hi, I want to read ODB file and then add a field, and save the resulting ODB file. The coode is very easy (given below). But I get the error message: OdbError: database save failed. **error attempt to truncate read only table. Probably, the problem is in the ODB file, not in code itself. Has...

    Creating new Field in ODB File

    Hi, I am trying to create new field in ODB file. But for testing purpose, I just decided to read "old" stress field and re-create it as new one. So, I read S23 from ODB, create array (Element label, time, stress 23), and create new Field with the same values. When I print out the values (Elt...

    Low cycle fatigue/Direct Cycling: Input and Output

    Hi, I would like to ask for some advices on Direct Cycling. First, defining the sinusoidal load. I define it in 3 places: (a) as Cycle Time Period in Step, (b) in Amptitude (Circular frequency and Initial amplitude, A and B), and (c) in Load (Magnitude). Somehow, Lets say, I have a sinusoidal...

    Abaqus/Python - commands to find nearest node to a given point

    Hi, I need to write a python comman code to find a node (in a given set), nearest to a given point. The code now looks as follows: import sys sys.path.insert(10, r'c:/SIMULIA/Abaqus/6.13-3/code/python/lib/abaqus_plugins/findNearestNode') import nearestNodeModule...

    Structured mesh of 3D model "particles in a box": how to do it?

    Hi, I am trying to design 3D structured mesh of unit cell model of a material. The model is built as several particles (of complex shape) in a 3D cubic box. I generated Parts, Instances, Sections of the particles and the 3D box, and also produced a Part Matrix (by boolean cutting the instances...
