    Cohesive behaviour relative displacement

    Hi there I have two questions related to surface-to-surface contact with cohesive behaviour: 1. How do I access CSLIP and COPEN field outputs using scripting? The following gives me a keyword error for CSLIP and COPEN using fieldOutputs[]: CSLIP_values =...

    Scripting - Extracting envelope stresses from elements.

    Hi there I am using scripting to extract stresses from shell elements. The problem I can't solve is how to extract the max envelope stress for each element. I use the following statements in my python script to access stress (before specifying invarients): S = Frame.fieldOutputs['S'] ElemSet =...

    Cohesive behaviour - stiffness vs displacement inconsistent

    Hi there I am testing the use of surface-to-surface contact interaction with a cohesive behaviour contact property. However, I find that my model is not matching a theoretical calculation and the behaviour is not consistent across different stiffness values(Knn, Kss, Ktt). Model description...

    Edit ply thickness with script

    Hi there I am trying to write a script to change the thickness of specific plies in predefined composite lay-ups. It seems that the only way to edit the thickness of a ply is to redefine it. The problem is that I need the 'region' as an argument for the CompositePly() object. I do not know how...

    Virtual topology causes mesh to be deleted

    Hi there I have used virtual topology on the geometry of my part to improve the top-down mesh that I generate. The problem I now have is that every time I delete any part of the geometry (a face for example), the entire mesh of my part is deleted as well. The geometry of my part was imported as...

    Applying an inertia relief load

    Hi there I am trying to understand how to apply an inertia relief load, but I seem to misunderstand the set-up. I created a simple model consisting of a rectangular plate in the X-Z plane. I want to use an inertia relief load to prevent rigid body motion in the Z-direction. So I constrain the...

    Object selection with script

    Hi there, I am using the statement getByBoundingBox() in my Python script to select vertices or nodes in my part. I am looking for a method of selecting vertices and nodes which are located on a specific set of faces/surfaces. I have created sets of faces in my part. At the moment I can only...
