    Summing Values in Matrix

    I have worked with the summation function for some time now. I thought i could not define matrices using this approach but apparently I wasn't defining the function correctly. Thank you for your help. I figured it out.

    Summing Values in Matrix

    Does anyone know how I can add all the values in a i,j matrix. I want my program to generate a matrix using the following: i =: 1..n j =: 1..m Matrices can be created for numerous values of n and m. An example is shown below: L(i,j) = i*j Where i and j are the indices, not functions for L...

    ABAQUS/Explicit exited with an error

    However, if anyone could answer this question, it would be benefical. With a working dynamic analysis, I have to be able to run a static analysis afterwards. If this does not work, then I should just continue with ABAQUS/Standard. My quesion is, Can I run a static analysis after a...

    Problem solved. Density issue with the steel. I apologize for those who read this, I am an amature with Explicit.

    ABAQUS/Explicit exited with an error

    Ok, I guess I know a little bit on what is going on with some help. However, in my dynamic analysis, only the two nodes that are in contact with the ball will displace. The rest of the nodes will not. And then the nodes appear to stick to the surface that they came in contact with as the ball...

    ABAQUS/Explicit exited with an error

    Hello, I have been working with ABAQUS for some time now but I am just learning how to use contact pairs and performing dynamic analysis using Explicit. I have reviewed example problems and have been able to run them on my server. However, I am trying to have a rigit sphere contact the edge...

    Boundary from the results of previous step?

    Thank you for the replies gwolf and corus. You are both correct. The problem is that I don't know what the <distance> is. I know what its magnitude has to be in "comparison" the previous step result. For instance, I want Node 10 to move 1 inch from where it was after Step 2. The problem is I...

    Boundary from the results of previous step?

    Hi, I want to enforce a *BOUNDARY condition (displacement) that is dependent on the results of a previous step. For instance, if I plastically deform a material and then unload the material, plastic deformations exist. I then want to displace a certain node 1 inch based on the results after...
