Hello,
I'm dealing with masonry vaults design and I'm trying to apply a distributed load on vault complex external surface, whose Z-PROJECTED magnitude is known in therms of kN/m^2.
The point is: how to define a surface load on a curved shell, knowing its PROJECTED magnitude in Z direction, as...
Hi all.
I have to analyze the dynamic of a structure with dashpots, and I need to use modal superposition (the problem is linear and very large). The problem is that dashpots do not affect the result in this analysis type: ABAQUS is able to extract the undamped modes and to calculate the...
Hi all. I want to upgrade my workstation, but I need some information about how different OSs allocate memory, just to avoid useless money efforts... Are the following considetaions correct?
1) Windows 32bit + just one 32or64 bit processor => max memory available for a single process = 2...
Tnx for your answer.
Some considerations on the following analysis (Run A is the one I described in the previous post):
- Run A:
*Lanczos method settings: Requested all eigenvalues in frequency range [0, 50] Hz
*Requested memory (from .dat file): 1.95 Gb
*225 eigenvalues correctly found, but...
Hi all.
I have a problem during a large eigenvalue extraction (natural frequencies) using the Lanczos method.
The model has about 700.000 unrestrained DOF, and I requested all the eigenvalues under 50 Hz (which means about 200 eigenvectors to be found).
The minimum memory required, as written...
