    Is there any python command equivelant to "Find Contact Pairs" GUI command?

    I am not sure if there is a way of interpreting the "Find Contact Pairs" command button in the GUI of ABAQUS into a command line in python, I need the machine to find all possible surfaces in contact with each other and name them according to the materials of the parts the surfaces in contact...

    Difficulties creating mesh!

    Greetings, I have a simple model in which I am trying to simulate single lap joint of two cold formed sheets (represented as solid elements)connected through a screw (self drilling screw). I have managed to draw the screw with the threads and also managed to mesh the screw in addition to...

    How to judge mass scaling results?

    Hi everybody. I have a quasi static problem that I need to use mass scaling to increase the stable time increment and it's the first time i use mass scaling. I used two mass scaling factors as I followed a strategy in assigning mass scaling factor to selective element sets with larger value of...

    How to obtain the Moment-Curvature curve for the given steel connection.

    Hi everybody. I have the created and submitted the model in the figure attached below. I need to know how I can extract the moment curvature of the connection just to get rotational stiffness during different stages of loading and steps. I have surfed the net to find a solution but all what I...
