I want to show a contour of the maximum stress for all of the time steps. At time T2 element 1 could be at 60ksi but element 2 is 40. Then at T3 element 1 is 40ksi and 2 is at 60. I want to show a contour that shows both elements at 60 since that's the max they see over the entire time...

So as far as I can tell membrane stresses are only for solid elements. Continuum elements is a very fancy way of saying shells (I'm sure there's a deeper nuance but as far as I can see not much of a practical difference). So the way I'm trying now is to go to the material and make sure...

I added in my field output (surface shell elements) the section point 3 of 5. Problem is I'm not sure what I need to do to get the principal stresses from this point to show on screen.

thought I did, I'm trying to get membrane stresses and Abaqus doesn't seem to have this capability w/o some weird method. In Femap I run a script that comes standard w/ the program and viola I've got membrane stresses. With Abaqus I have to create some crossection path only to have a "paper...

I've tried the help's linearization steps but I get this error, Results for all the points along the stress line were not found. Selected end points and all intermediate sample points must lie within the current display group, and within solid continuum elements. Due to tolerance...

I'm working on a problem where we initially wanted to use Nastran linear solver but now realize we need to be using contact surfaces. The first thought is to use Abaqus in a non-linear way. We've got beams, bars, bricks, and shell elements all together. Since I currently use Femap I feel...

I'm doing a transient analysis with an acceleration input. However my model contains many segregated portions that are held together w/ pins and latches. I'm not sure how to set up contact surfaces without having a 3d mesh. I've got tubes joining in a T that are both modeled with plate...

I've got a problem where I need to analyze using NX NASTRAN/FEMAP (I didn't get to choose which program). I need to model a bolt going through a 3d mesh of blocks that are tied to some surfaces (See pic). The bolts are tightened into the blocks w/ threads but the connecting arm is free to...

For those with a similar problem I found that the issue is the layout and mindset of help. For finding the options for NameValueMap looking up NameValueMap.Value gets you a bunch of examples. However what you need is to do is search for TranslatorAddIn>Remarks,Translator Options using Index...

I'm trying to decipher the code to translate an Iges file. Dim oOptions As NameValueMap Set oOptions = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMap If oIGESTranslator.HasSaveCopyAsOptions(ThisApplication.ActiveDocument, oContext, oOptions) Then ' Set geometry type for...

Here's the code I've been trying but it won't recognize the colors brought in by the step file. Dim ColorSet As femap.Set Set ColorSet = App.feSet rc=ColorSet.AddAll(40) Color=ColorSet.First

Thanks everyone. The process is kind of a bastardization of one large drawing but has become morphed into the seperate sheets. @EngAddict There are over 10000 ACAD users using these drawings in my company alone(shipbuilding). Including the many customers and contractors, I do know OF 10s of...

It is a standard for the maritime industry. Every drawing I've ever touched has the same notation. Not to mention every drawing my company (thousands large) our sisters companies, contractors, government contractors, and customers all use this notation. The reason is that originally, old...

I'm not aware if you've worked w/ idw's but they do have a layer system similar to Autocad. Let me clarify. I'm in the process of converting several 2d autocad drawings into drawings based on Inventor models. Currently each side view, section view, properties,item counts, and more are royal...

I mean in creating an .idw. Not the 3d modeling.

I need to have the zone border increase numbers by sheet ie. sheet1 1-8 sheet2 9-16 All of the numbers drawings I've ever seen have this. I'm not certain why it's not standard.

I need to bring in clearance parts on the clearance layer and electrical parts on the electrical layer. I can individually select the parts and adjust the properties but it's much easier to assign them a to a layer.

I need to be able to show a door swing in the idw but I've no idea how to set this up where it will follow the door if I move it to the other side of a room.

Thanks for the info. If Pro E is worse for drafting that's a non-starter.
