Thank you for replying, xerf.
The stress is at the nodal location. I understand that the actual FEA calculated von Mises stress is at the integration points, from where the nodal output gets extrapolated. However, looking at the size of elements, an extrapolation from 178 to 230 ksi just seems...
Hi, from Abaqus manual it says that the material will go prefectly plastic after the von Mises stress state reaches the end of the strain-stress curve. However, it's not un-usual (at least for me) to have von Mises stress higher than the max stress in the input.
For example, in the inp file I...
Dear All (again...)
My model passes pre.exe and goes to standard.exe now after I switch my element type from CPS8 to CPS6M. How strange! Anyhow, I am still curious what the error message means.
Thanks!

Dear all,
I am modeling two gears in contact in a 2-D modeling space. I have been getting the following error message during pre.exe:
***ERROR: THE MASTER SURFACE ASSEMBLY_CONTACT-M IS INVALID. SOME NODES ARE SHARED BY MORE THAN TWO UNDERLYING ELEMENTS.
I'd never gotten this error before...
Hi, all,
As I am looking at the keyword:
-----------------
.

.
*BEAM SECTION, ELSET=(name), SECTION=CIRC, MATERIAL=(name), POISSION=(n)
1.,
0., 1., 0.,

------------------
I kind of understand the last set of numbers stand for the orientation of a beam section, but I am not sure how...
Hi, I have got some jobs waiting to submit, but I have only one abaqus server. Is there any way to submit a job automatically once the previous job has completed? Or is there any way to schedule a time when a job is submitted?
Any help would be appreciated!
