    Need Help Removing Rigid Body Constraints in Abaqus

    Thanks for the response. Just to be sure about the procedure. Here is what I did: 1.)I first ran my normal simulation, for simplification, I only used one particle (see Job DroppingPart.inp). 2.)Then I created a new model and imported the part from this job. 3.)Next, I defined a predefined...

    Need Help Removing Rigid Body Constraints in Abaqus

    Hi everyone I'm currently working on a simulation in Abaqus where I dropped several parts into a cylinder initially, and later imported the final configuration for a compression test. I imported the parts using the predefined field menu to ensure accurate initial positions. Initially, I applied...

    Importing Deformed Assembly and Adding a New Part for Compression Analysis

    Hi everyone, I have completed an explicit analysis in which I dropped a large number of parts into a cylinder. This part of the simulation went well, and I now have a deformed assembly from this analysis. My goal is to save the deformed assembly from the first analysis and import it into a new...

    Challenges with Orphan Mesh Drop Test in Abaqus

    I get the error message exactly when I use the homogeneous shell. When I instead use surface, the simulations runs but has the problems I mentioned earlier. From the input file I can see the element type as: Element, type=SFM3D3. For the section I have this entry: *Elset, elset=_PickedSet4...

    Challenges with Orphan Mesh Drop Test in Abaqus

    yes its a thin-walled surface orphan mesh. However if I assign a homogenous surface section to it I get the following error message: Error in job impactexplicit: 4028 elements have missing property definitions. The elements have been identified in element set ErrElemMissingSection. But I...

    Challenges with Orphan Mesh Drop Test in Abaqus

    Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to Abaqus and I'm facing a bit of a challenge. I've been trying to simulate a drop test where an object falls onto a rigid plate. I successfully completed a similar simulation with two solid balls interacting with the plate, and the contact definition worked...

    Saving Results After Step

    Hello ABAQUS Community, I'm currently working on a simulation in ABAQUS and could use some guidance from experienced users. I'm attempting to model a uniaxial compression test where particles are initially dropped into a cylinder, followed by compression. Dropping Particles (Step 1): In the...
