    2D vs 3D FEA...

    I found the links I mentioned, turns out fancy footwork was not required: Linear FEM: http://www.colorado.edu/engineering/CAS/courses.d/IFEM.d/Home.html Advanced FEM: http://www.colorado.edu/engineering/CAS/courses.d/AFEM.d/Home.html Non-Linear FEM...

    2D vs 3D FEA...

    Indeed it is, but not in the same form as I recall it. As I was pulling this from memory, it seems that the non-linear material is not available in a straight up Google search anymore. It was in 2006 when I was looking for some reference material for an undergraduate course I was teaching. I...

    2D vs 3D FEA...

    Bathe, Reddy and Cooke are all fantastic for getting a fundamental understanding of the theory. Bathe is the top of my list (one of the best treatments of iso-parametric formulation I have ever seen.) Zienkiewicz is also great but somewhat demanding upon the reader. An excellent primer is...

    Operations on a created field output

    If you're doing an implicit analysis you can do the following: First, in the Visualization module select Results -> Active Steps/Frames and select which steps and frames in your analysis you wish to extract the data from. You may or may not wish to include all of the frames, this is up to you...

    Bizarre error using Python session.XYDataFromPath

    That's actually quite similar to what I am doing (about 60 odbs with each one ~2.5Gb). I've implemented what we discussed and it is working at the time of this writing. If it is only about an hour then that is just fine (my machine is similar but has a dual CPU @ 2.4 GHz, same RAM); I was...

    Bizarre error using Python session.XYDataFromPath

    Thanks xerf, I knew about that work around already. It works just fine but since I'll be repeating the session.XYDataFromPath repeatedly (for a number of output variables) I didn't want to have to call and refresh the viewport every time I change output flavours since it will bog down my script...

    Bizarre error using Python session.XYDataFromPath

    Hi friends! I've got a quick question regarding the extraction of xy data from a path using a Python script. I've successfully done it for both invariant and component field output variables but my script breaks down for status type variables like damage initiation (HSNFCCRT for instance). I'm...

    Initial Conditions using Python

    xerf, First off, thanks for your prompt and extremely informative reply. 1) Crap. I anticipated it was a keywordBlock insertion. It will definitely get the job done but it is not the solution I was hoping for (not exactly elegant - <sigh>, anyone else know, or maybe this is a v6.x x>7...

    Display Groups using Python

    Hi friends, colleagues and ABAQUS gurus!! I'm having a bit of a problem getting my python script to create and plot some display groups. The documentation is helpful but still, I can't quite get it to work. I can do it in CAE and when I check the abaqus.rpy file and literally cut and paste the...

    Initial Conditions using Python

    Hi everyone, I've scoured the archives and documentation regarding this and have done my best to avoid starting a thread but alas, I need some help here. My situation is that of implementing a uniform residual stress (no depth profile through the thickness) into a hybrid laminate (tensile for...
