    Initial stress read from ODB file, integration point or nodal stresses?

    Hi all, I'm working on a model to estimate the pre-stress in a measured abdominal aortic geometry. To do so, I use an initial condition in which stress is read from the ODB file of a previous simulation using: *INITIAL CONDITIONS, TYPE=STRESS, FILE=Cylinder_BI_01.odb This works fine, but I...

    Differences stress extrapolation Ansys & Abaqus

    Is it also possible disable averaging without using the GUI? I don't have a full license on my own laptop, so I'm running my Abaqus simulations on the server of my university. I use the session.writeFieldReport (Python) command to extract the solution...

    Differences stress extrapolation Ansys & Abaqus

    In the chapter 'Understanding how results are computed', this is basically everything they say about the extrapolation method: "ABAQUS/CAE extrapolates results to the nodes using weighting appropriate for the element type and shape". However, it doesn't specifies which weighting is used for...

    Differences stress extrapolation Ansys & Abaqus

    Thanks for your input! I'm going to look into this. However, I'm still interested in finding out how the results are extrapolated exactly in Ansys and Abaqus. Any ideas on that topic?

    Differences stress extrapolation Ansys & Abaqus

    Hi all, As a subproject in my PhD project, I'm comparing Ansys and Abaqus (geometrically) nonlinear solution methods. I used a simple cylinder to represent an artery and modelled it with a simple Neo-Hookean material model. Large deformations (NLGEOM) are turned on (hence the non-linearity). I...
