    Input field for tolerance/clearance

    Hi all, I have basic shaft/hole problem with contact. I have already solved it without clearance. Now I want to see the effects of ISO clearances like H7/e7 or H7/d7. I know I can modify my geometry with cut etc. to achieve required clearance. But I wonder if there is an input field that I can...

    Nodal forces in local coordinate system

    Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention this but I have tried this earlier. However NFORC results are cannot be used with coordinate transformation i.e. user-defined coordinate system from the "Results" panel. It only works with stresses, displacement etc.

    Natural frequency extraction - "huge" generalized mass

    For future reference here is how I solved this problem: I have added a non-reflecting circular acoustic impedence to model, by this way Abaqus gave the correct results. But beware apparantly "planar" type acoustic impedence has no absorbing qualities so they also don't work. It should be...

    Nodal forces in local coordinate system

    Dear all, I wonder if there is any method in Abaqus to obtain nodal forces in local coordinates? Or am I stuck with NFORC values? Because this is going to consume significant time since I need to form translation matrix and export the data to excel etc. Thanks in advance!

    Natural frequency extraction - "huge" generalized mass

    Hi all, I am interested in natural frequencies of a steel structure, which is in contact with water. I am expecting sideways and vertical deflection (or vibration or mode shapes whatever you want to call it), and I could get this through Abaqus when there is no contact, i.e. empty machine...
