Hi all, I am using PXI chassis with a NI-6361 module to acquire LVDT and acceleration readings for a dynamic test. Both sensors are voltage sensors with external signal conditioning devices in order to help acquire the signal. There are three options in DAQmx programming; voltage, voltage...

I have sort the problem out. Thanks again Wangifw and Corus.

Thanks Wangifw. Please see the attached image. I have managed to partition the cylinder as you did. How shall I extend the cylindrical face to the top ?http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y429/eky/Image_zpsb7ec561b.png

I have defined a cutting plane and I selected the point and normal option to divide the surfaces in 90 degrees. What I managed so far is to create a structured mesh for the cylinder. I cannot get a structured mesh for the roller as you suggested. Is there any other option that I can use to get a...

Hi all, I have extruded a cylinder from a roller and I cannot mesh it using hex elements. I only can mesh it using tet elements. Is there any way that I can mesh it using hex elements? I have attached an image for help. Thanks...

Hey guys, What is the most correct way to model the gravitational acceleration in an impact event when a ball is dropped on a rigid surface?? Thanks. Ele.

Hi all, I have created a hole in a steel rectangular plate diameter of 10 mm. A pin dimensions of 10 mm and 50 mm in diameter and length passes though the hole of the plate.I have used C3D8R solid elements with reduced integration. The analysis is explicit with general contact interaction...

Hi friends, I am doing a simulation analysis of a dropped object from 4 meters with an initial velocity of 8.86 m/s. How can I model gravity in ABAQUS? Thanks.

Even shell elements do not match with beam elements and hand calcs.

Hi sdebock. Beam elements gave me exact solution. Solid elements gave me another solution about 30% difference. In my 3D model, I have restrained x,y and z directions apart from rotation in the x axis (horizontal) and in the other size of the beam, I have restrained it in the z axis...

The dimensions of the beam are 100x100x700 mm. The hand calculations were based on Euler - Bernoulli theory. Is this the issue?

Hi, I have carried out a frequency analysis of a simply supported beam by comparing the results between beam and solid elements. The beam elements match the solutions with my hand calculations. However, solid elements do not give very close solutions. Does anyone knows what the problem is with...

Hi. I am using solid elements to model the contact of a ball hitting a wall. I have defined the <explicit> selection in the element library (Mesh) with linear elements for the wall. IF the wall is supported on a steel frame where the steel frame has elastic properties, shall I choose the...
