    Why names become all upper cases after importing?

    Hi I am using python to import mdb from odb, the part name, node sets , surface names etc all become upper cases.   myModel=mdb.ModelFromOdbFile(name='case2', odbFileName=odbname) Now if I want to access the node set name, I have to use upper cases like this .upper(). I am wondering if it is...

    what is alternative way to get surface nodes?

    Hi I used to use getBoundingBox() to get surface nodes if outside surface is flat. Now if the surface is not flat, what alternative functions I can use to select nodes on the outside surface?? Thanks a lot...

    restart using import part from odb

    Hi I am doing restart vy importing deformed part from odb. I am using python script. Here is the script I am using myModel.PartFromOdb(name=oldpart, # use same part name and instance name instance=InstanceNames[-1], odb=odb, shape=DEFORMED, step=stepnum_import...

    use DISP subroutine to apply external pressure cloud point data?

    Hi I have an external pressure data with a format of x,y, z, P. Can I use disp subroutine to apply these cloud point pressure as BC? The xyz of cloud points are not the same as nodal x, y, z. Thanks

    why element set created is an internal set?

    Hi I am using python script to create a element set with a name. modelInstane=modelAssembly.instances['instance-name'] AllElement_MappedRegion=modelInstane.elements eleSet_DataMapping_CLWR_AllLayers=modelAssembly.Set(elements=AllElement_MappedRegion, name='EleSet_MappedRegion_ThisModel') in...

    is it possible to change material properties during restart?

    Hi I have many time steps and doing history matching. After the first run, I'd like to change material properties such as Young's Modulus during restart. I am thinking to use user subroutine or field variable to define Young's modulus as function of field variable or statev(). I am wondering if...

    free convection or forced convection

    Hi I am modelling heat transfer shown as below figure. The left boundary has a constant T of 250C, and it will transfer from steel A into gas then into another steel B. The top and bottom are insulated BC. The gas is constrained between steel A and B. Now I will not include left steel A and the...

    can I apply temperature boundary condition to tied element in heat transfer?

    Hi I am doing heat conduction between rock and a thin rod inside the rock. High Temperature is applied on thin rod to model heat conduction in the rock. I am using beam element B31 for thin rod and C3D8PT for rock. and I am using tie constraint to tie thin rod into rock. I applied temperature...

    How to assign boundary conditions for earth model?

    Hi I am modelling earth deformation due to underground pressure and temperature change. There are in-situ horizontal stress and vertical stress in earth. I am wondering which way to assign boundary conditions during modelling. In the below figures, I list two approaches, the first approach uses...

    How to choose value of possion ratio for low permeability shale?

    HI I am doing modelling shale deformation using Abaqus. I need to input possion ratio. I am not sure what kind of value do I input? Here are my thoughts which confused me. For low permeability shale, if triaxial test is conducted under undrained condition, the poisson ration will be 0.5 since...
