    Different Frequency outputs between only frequency step and a frequency step in multstep analysis

    Hello, Model: Dam-foundation-reservoir system - Linear analysis Why do I get different frequencies when I run my model only for a frequency step and a frequency step in a multistep analysis? For example, 1. Frequency step - mode 1 frequency is 1.73 Hz 2. Frequency step - Gravity step -...

    Adaptive Meshing and XFEM in Different Parts - Error

    Hello, I am modeling a dam-reservoir interaction using XFEM enriched elements in the dam structure and acoustic domain to model water elements in the reservoir region. Both dam and reservoir domains are tied at their interface. However, the job has an error showing Adaptive Meshing can't be...

    Import Initial State from Static Analysis for Implicit Dynamic Analaysis

    My earthquake analyses steps are as follows: 1. I have a dam-reservoir-foundation system analysed for static loads (gravity, hydrostatic etc.). This is performed in a static, general step. 2. I open a separate cae file which is exactly the model definition from step and import the .odb from...

    Can you use GPU acceleration in postprocessing odb through command line interface command?

    Hi, I'm using a command-line interface to run my post-processing Abaqus python scripts. Since it's a huge output database, I want to use GPU to speed the process. Is there a way to engage GPU cores and how to do it? I usually use the following commands on windows power shell with Abaqus...

    Extreme Element Distortion in coupled structural-acoustic analysis

    I'm studying the response of a dam-reservoir-foundation system to earthquake excitation using coupled acoustic structural analysis method. However, the analysis is aborted due to extreme element distortion. The distortion looks unreal. I'm attaching the picture of it below. What are the possible...

    Unable to resolve unconnected regions

    I'm modeling a dam-reservoir system using couple structural-acoustic analysis method by Abaqus. I see 293 unconnected regions error and tried to find out which are the unconnected regions using unconnected_regions command. However, I'm unable to find out where to view the sets generated by the...

    Element based surface tie not activated in Coupled Strucutural Acoustic Analysis.

    I'm modelling a dam-foundation-reservoir system using acoustic elements to model reservoir domain. I created an element based surface each for (Structure and foundation) and reservoir and used Tie Constraint to account for the interaction between the surfaces. In my simulation results, I see...

    Stress - displacement based material input(Tension) for Concrete Damaged Plasticity

    I'm implementing stress displacement-based damage model for tension using Concrete Damaged Plasticity. So, it turns out when I select displacement-based input instead for cracking strain, ABAQUS will issue an error message if the calculated plastic strain values are negative and/or decreasing...

    Different yield displacement values in tension test of an L Panel

    I'm verifying my Concrete Damage Plasticity constitutive model using a tension test on an L-Panel. The test is displacement controlled and is applied at the lower right bottom of the L Panel. I am also verifying the mesh insensitivity of sizes 200mm, 300mm and 400mm by using stress-displacement...

    Mulitple output values written for same increment

    I'm simulating a compression test on a concrete cube using CDP model. When the output report is generated, it shows multiple output values for the same time increment value. I'm unable to figure out why is it happening and which one of it should I consider. I'm attaching a sample output file...
