Hi Mr.Goldthorpe, I dont know whether I can use *DLOAD for this elliptical pressure load disturbution cause I never tried (actually never used. always have been using *CLOAD option). But since you say we can use may be I can give a try. But, If I use it does Abaqus do the intergration for me...

Thank you very much johnhors. Yes, I am using *CLOAD and applying nodal forces. I am a little poor in using this shape functions. Can you or somebody please give me an example how to use the element shape functions for a 4-node(linear) and a 8-node element (quad) in applying loads. I am having...

Hi All, Please let me know if there is any difference application of load for quad-4 element and quad-8 element. I am using an elliptical disturbution of load and when applied for a 4-node element I get the theoritical result.But doing the same way for 8 node element is giving me wrong...

Hi andrearrd, I dont know whether this would help you or not cause I am just a begineer in Abaqus. When I had to give different loads in CLOAD option I used amplitude function. Ofcourse amp is related to time but I think you can call a input file in another input file. let me tell u wat i...

Thank you Pam for the help. But now I am getting an error saying frame for the step is not found. Cannot restart. Thats because for the input file I have had before has the restart frequency=999999 since I want to suppress the large output files. So I dont think I can restart the analysis again...

Hello All, During running an analysis I got the following error after running it for 2 days. I accidentally opened another memory taking application and analysis ended. ***ERROR: STANDARD_MEMORY IS CURRENTLY SET TO 256.00 MBYTES. ***ERROR: ABAQUS HAS BEEN UNABLE TO ALLOCATE THIS MUCH...

Thank you very much mrgoldthorpe and Regis. Really very informative stuff mrgoldthorpe.I could suppress the .odb file as you said. And Regis, the output command which calls for ELPRINT should have frequency 0. If frequeny in ELPRINT command is also set to 0 I will have nothing in my data file...

Hi workharder, thanx for ur reply but still I am getting this huge output .odb file. I tried to supress the output in many ways in the input file. I heard that I can give some command in abaqus command when I am calling the job. Does anyone has an idea about it, Thank u in advance, Maddy

Hi all, I am running an analysis for 100 cycles and all I need is the stress strain output at the midcross section. So I gave ELPRINT command for that particular section. But please let me know How do I suppress the large odb output I am getting? I ran for 10 cycles and my .odb file was almost...

Thanks for replying mrgoldthorpe. I have checked even that. i.e syntax of cload. Then again I started from scrach and this time got a error msg saying that a concentrated load is specified on node 7 which is not active in the model. I noticed that node 7 overlapped with node 123. So i have...

Hi all, I am getting this error in ABAQUS when I include a load input file in the original input file. ***ERROR: A CONCENTRATED LOAD HAS BEEN SPECIFIED ON NODE 0 . THIS NODE IS NOT ACTIVE IN THE MODEL I dont have a node 0 in my model and I checked my load input file completely and i am sure...
