    ABAQUS - Obtain Moment of Inertia of each element in an instance using getMassProperties(..)

    I am trying to loop over all the elements in a certain instance (or part) and obtain the moment of inertia of each element. I can do this in the Visualization window in ABAQUS CAE, but I am unable to do it for each element using python The following line gives me for the whole part...

    Restart analysis for dynamic implicit including INFINITE elements

    I have followed the documentation for all the modifications you have to do in the input file to perform a restart analysis. My method works on simple static models, however when running my main model that includes infinite elements(CIN3D8R) it gives the following error when running the...

    Increasing element temperature as strain increases? Used to incorporate Soil shear modulus reduction

    Hi everyone, I am trying to incorporate the Shear modulus reduction curve. This is basically a curve that shows the relationship of the modulus with changing strain (modulus of soil decreases as strain increases). First of all, is there a way to incorporate this without defining a umat? And if...

    Initial stresses read from output database because element type is incorrect?

    Hello, I have a silly problem thats been bothering me. I am doing a simple model of just a soil block using (C3D8R) element type. My first step is the initial default step with the predefined field of stresses (user input stresses due to own weight). My second step includes gravity force on the...
