Thanks for your reply. Hm... I believe the process is called multimaterial optimization. You should be able to set parameters and constraints on the amount (volume or mass) of the other material and the simulation is supposed to determine the best placement for those elements. Would you happen...

Hello, I want to use the topology optimization feature in my static loading case. However, I would like the program to replace material properties for elements that take extra loading with a special cement, and I would also like these areas of material replacement to be of a certain geometry...

Hi FEA way, Yes I definitely have many distorted elements... no matter how clean I try to mesh this that has never changed. But I have never seen a spike like this. Could it be something different or because this is a bit coarser?

Hello, I am having trouble figuring out why one of my elements is acting strangely. I am working with a heterogeneous bone model simulating a compression test. After about a third of the step, one of the elements begins spiking out. The element is located far from the analytical rigid I am...

This worked! Thanks so much.

@FEA way, thanks so much. However, I tried doing this and clicking plot, but none of the elements are changing in view after I press plot.

Hello, I would like to isolate elements above or below certain stress/strain levels. This was easy to do in Hypermesh, where you can use a slider that controls which elements are seen by revealing clusters of elements based on the slider position. Is this possible in Abaqus 2018? I found...
