    Create newfield with the results from the mid-section of beam elements

    Hi all, I am working on a script that creates a field output in an odb containing beam elements. I want to do something really simple, to create an element output with the average of the top and bottom section point strain(average of section point 1 and 5) To extract the 'bottom' data I try the...

    Shear out in acrylic

    Hi all, I am designing a small experiment where I have a pinned joint near the edge of a sheet of PMMA. I considered the formula e=F/(2*S*t), where e is the minimum distance from the centre of the hole to the edge of the plate, F the applied load, S the shear strength, and t the thickness of...

    Import Deformed Field in Explicit simulation

    I have a simulation where I want to import a deformed field and run with different conditions. This is similar to what we do for Initial Imperfection studies with Eigenvalue bucklings: I run a simulation and take the deformed eigenmodes and use in the next simulation via *Imperfections. The...

    Fracture mechanics - crack tip field

    Dear all, I have a question on the crack-tip displacement field in Mode 1 loading. This is usually given by an equation of the form: u_ij=K/G * f(r,theta) where u_ij are the displacement components, K the SIF and G the shear modulus. My question is regarding this modulus, does the presence of...

    Memmory allocation problem

    Hi all, I am running some large simulations on a HPC cluster. When submitting I get the following error, before the input file processor finishes: " ***ERROR: UNEXPECTED ALLOCATION REQUEST THAT EXCEEDS 2GB. YOU CAN TRY DECREASING THE MODEL SIZE OR RUN THE JOB WITH MORE DOMAINS."...

    python script parallel post-processing

    Hi everyone, I am collecting results from a very large .ODB (4GB) using a python script, this is taking me a very long time. I wonder if anyone knows if it is possible to run the following code in parallel or have any suggestions to speed it up? As you can see I already have a node set so as to...
