I think you put 0 stress for a nonzero plastic strain. I would guess that the first column is the strain in your data.

Thank you for the quick response!

Hello, Is it possible to create a model only using one or more substructures (no other mesh elements)? Example: Create a substructure of a beam and retain 6 DOF for each end. Create a cantilever setup with the substructure in an implicit static step. One substrucure, one boundary condition...

I tried adding the following: sCat = odb.SectionCategory(name='SC',description='n/a') sP = sCat.SectionPoint(number=3,description='n/a') together with the addition .getSubset(.... , sectionPoint=sP) The code did not return any error but didn't produce any field output. I managed to work...

I have read about addData(...) optional argument sectionPoint. I am however not able to get that part working. Where do I write the addData and what is the value the sectionPoint argument accept? addData(sectionPoint=3)? Best regards, S

Hi, I am working on a script that creates a field output in an odb. The odb contains an element set with shell elements (5 section points, S4). The code I am using to get the scalar field looks like this: stress = frame.fieldOutputs['S'] inPlaneMaxPrincipal =...

Is it something like this you are looking for? Link

I believe that a set of internal element faces need to be added to the general contact for it to keep making contact. Included pairs of general contact: All* with Self AND All* with ElementInternalSurfaces

Hi, I think it should be tonne/mm^3. Could 7.6982E-09 tonne/mm^3 be correct? If the model is fast to solve you could always check the reaction force and compare to expected reaction force.

How about cut extrude some material away and then extrude it back up?

Hello donaldhume, What I mean is that most modern Nvidia cards allow for gpu acceleration. Consumer grade (e.g. GTX1080Ti) will not allow to be used with Abaqus I think. It is not a professional card. Quadro cards are professinal cards and can be used for GPU acceleration. Nvidia does however...

The K2200 is not a new card. It is from 2014. For double the price of a K2200 you get the P4000 with better performance (~3x *for certain applications*). Still, I'm not sure that gpu acceleration is really meant to be used with quadro cards (crippled double precision floating point). Link Your...

I remember reading about hyperthreading when I got my Intel 2600k for my personal PC back in 2012. If you run an application which scales great (Cinebench) then you got (at that time) about 15% increase in rendering performance. When it comes to implicit analysis, scaling is not perfect. I...

Hello, Multiple processors in the context of Abaqus usually mean cpu threads. Lets say you have two physical CPUs with 8 cores each (Intel) with hyperthreading (2 threads per CPU core). That will give you access to 32 threads. It is recommended to disable hyperthreading in BIOS which will give...

Could it be an extrapolation issue? It would be interesting to see how an C3D10I would respond.

You sent this following message: "684 elements are distorted." If you have bad elements then it can be problematic. Turn the bad elements good again. If the mesh is good when you mesh but you still get the message, then maybe the ADJUST is moving nodes so much that the elements become bad when...

Have you tried to check the job diagnostics? Link

Hi, I used to extrude or revolve the solid in Solidworks and export as .xt, step or anything A/CAE would accept. In A/CAE I would cut the model and sketch on the cross section where I would extract the edges from the solid (the symbol that looks like a wedge of cheese). Once I had all edges I'd...

Hi, The lines in the loops needs indenting. Either by tab or 4 spaces. Edit: I did the indentation and posted the code in text. Seems like it removed the indents in the posted text. See attached. I didn't run the code myself but you get the idea. Hope it works...

What you write seems likely. Still, I would like to know how close I can be to contact separation and say fulfils the acceptance criteria. Right not I'm leaning toward just using another general load factor. Separation load / 1.5 = allowed load The NASA way would be preferable since I believe...
