Hi all,
I know it is possible to change shell element density, thickness etc with a distribution table such that you can get a varying thickness and density etc. Is it possible to do the same for the youngs modulus value. Im trying to linearly decrease my Youngs Modulus value along the length...
Hi all,
I have an abaqus model which has a Datum csys off centre. I create a new csys with 3 points, create a job and write an input file. However, when I import the input file, the new coordinate system has moved to the position of the original datum. This is not correct for my boundary...
Hi All,

Hi Corus
Sorry for the late reply.
I have been trying to use brick elements using the create bottom up mesh method but I get this error around the trailing edge. Any idea why this is occuring?

Hi All,
I'm trying to mesh a turbine but I am unable to get the blades to mesh. I got an error saying that I had to generate a bottom-up mesh. However, when I generate the bottom-up mesh I get the following: See attached. I then try the extrude method for bottom-up mesh but the mesh does not...
