I am working with Abaqus 6.12 and I am doing the simulations with dynamic and explicit. Then I can choose ALLPW from the energie outputs for the whole model. Thanks very much for your support so far. I am really stucked with this problem
Hey,
I am using a penalty contact in my model and I plotted the energy quantities of the whole model. The total energy seems to be constant but I have negative internal work by penalty contact (ALLPW). Does anybody know what it is exactly and how it is calculated? I read somewhere in the...
Hi,
I found the reason for it. I forgot the internal work by penalty contact (ALLPW). With this energy the summation is correct. Nevertheless ETOTAL is not constant in the beginning of the simulation due to ALLPW. Does this mean that I have an error in my model? I read that ETOTAL must always...
Hey bennytehcat,
I am also doing an explicit analysis with Abaqus in the moment and I have the same problem as you. When I apply the energy balance equation of the manual my energies do not sum up to ETOTAL. ETOTAL is bigger than my calculation results in all simulations so far. I will deal...
Hello together,
I am currently working on an Abaqus model in which I modelled a pile being rammed into the ground. This pile is modelled withRayleigh damping. My question is how can I measure the energy loss due to Rayleigh damping? Is there a specific output I can use? So far I only found that...
