    Macro to select all edges connected edge and fillet them all

    ...the problem i have is i havent been able to check for CONNECTING EDGES? Does anyone know how to do this in a macro?.... kind regards Noel

    Macro to select all edges connected edge and fillet them all

    Hi Jeff, yes it is, and the filletxpert can select all connected edges, just like i want, but like i said above, the issue i have is that that is too impractical on the large lattice-like models i have where only certain intersections out of the lattice (about 800 out of 3000) are to be...

    Macro to select all edges connected edge and fillet them all

    Hi all, I have been experimenting with writing a macro to do the following. I want be able to select and edge within solidworks, then play a macro which will then automatically select all connecting edges to my preselected edge and apply a fillet to them all. (The reason is i cannot quickly use...

    Plotting nodal forces (NFORC) of surface as vector plot

    Dear Forum, I am trying to generate a vector plot (using "plot symbols on deformed shape") of my 3d structure, of the forces felt by the surface nodes. The problem is that abaqus (v6-7-1) reports the force as nodal SCALARS, but nautually will only create vector plots of nodal VECTORS. What I...

    How to analytically validate a large deformation analysis?

    Firstly thanks to all that have replied thus far, very useful information. I am modelling a highly porous/ honeycomb/scaffold type structures. The actual material property type is limited to pure linear elastic, due to the limitations of the FE software we have developed. However I need to...

    How to analytically validate a large deformation analysis?

    Dear all, I am involved in writing a 3D large deformation finite element code, that uses 8-noded brick, linear elastic elements ONLY. I need to validate my solution against a simple problem that is solved analytically. For example a long thin (3D) rod that is held and one end and somehow...
