Yes, i have tried numerous options and combinations. None worked.
Can someone tell me what exactly i have to define:
Elastic material?
Plastic material?
Ductile damage?
I just need one working example.
I am trying to evaluate an impact analysis using abaqus explicit (bullet vs. armoured plate).
I can't figure out how to define material property so that the plate brakes when certain stress or strain is reached.
Any help appreiated.
By 20% boost I meant 20% less time needed to complete a calculation.
The choice of OS (lin/XP/Vista) is not that crucial but using 64 bit system is really worth it if you do a lot of computing.
I use linux mainly for two reasons:
- uses less RAM so there is more available for ABAQUS
-...
The first thing to do is to start using linux 64 bit - it gives you 20% boost without any additional cost.
The second thing is it invest in more RAM and use ramdisk for scractch dir - it gives you additional 30% boost.
masks are used so that the output in .rpy is less cluttered
use this command:
session.journalOptions.setValues(replayGeometry=COORDINATE, recoverGeometry=COORDINATE)
and and the output will use findAt and coordinates.
Use this command in Abaqus:
session.journalOptions.setValues(replayGeometry=COORDINATE,
recoverGeometry=COORDINATE)
This will enable you to see non-masked output in rec, rpy, and jnl files.
I have a model with a huge number of redundand internal sets (approx. 18.000).
I cannot find a way to delete them with GUI nor I can't find a reference to them as to use scripting to delete them.
P.S.
This problem relates to a Python scrypting memory leak post...
I wrote a script to propagate cracks through material and I found a peculiar memory leak.
For instance I delete existing seams like this:
for e in aPart.edges:
mModel.rootAssembly.engineeringFeatures.
deleteSeam(regions=regionToolset.Region(...
