I add here a picture of the model to help.
I now solved the numerical singularities by replacing the beam element in the wires by trusses and the zero pivot warnings by being smarter when I specify MPC constraint. As well what help was to add stabilisation by damping factor of previous step...
Hi everybody,
I have problems in analyzing my model; I am trying to model a mast supported by cables. So I modelled every cable, the mast and spreaders as independent parts with beam elements. I connected everything using MPC constraints (pin for cable to mast intersection, and tie for...
Hi everybody,
first of all, apologies for not cutting the script down.
I managed to solve my problem: I was just missing a bracket and a comma to make abaqus recognise a GeomSequence;
###PARTITIONING BOTTOM OF MAST FOR SQUARE SECTION###
p = mdb.models['Model-1'].parts['Mast']
e =...
Hi everybody,
I am trying to write a script to create the geometry of a sailing boat mast. Essentielly it consists of a couple datum points and wires. One wire is to represent the mast (later to be meshed as a beam element). Since the mast has a section that varies along the length (rectangular...
