Hello Thank you both for your very fast answers Inserting it into a Drawing is a good method but I think I found exactly what I needed. It is done with the DMU 2D viewer and the tool "2D measure". There you can calibrate your picture by giving a known distance and afterwards measure it...

Hello I am trying to do a design of an racing car chassis and I have some pictures of other chassis that I would like to take as example. I would like to know if there is any way to import this picture in Catia, give a reference distance (for example a known diameter of a tire) and then being...

Hello everyone I have a simulation in Abaqus/Standard to determine the Stiffness of a given element. I load it with 300N but it doesnt converge after 200N (due to some elasticities). I analyze the Force/Displacement curve and its stiffness (delta kraft/delta displacement) almost constant all...

Hello everyone, I have performed a modal analysis with Lanczos of a steel structure. Before optimizating it i used the following step *STEP, NAME = MODALANALYSE *FREQUENCY, EIGENSOLVER = LANCZOS, NORMALIZATION = DISPLACEMENT 50,0.0 ,200.0 ,,, *BOUNDARY fixed_points,1,6,0.0...

thread727-296596 Hello everyone Im a mechanical engineer and I have two-years FEA experience. I was talking the other day with a friend of mine about hand calculations in order to make sure that the FEA results agree with what the classical theory says. But normally for my analysis I just...

Anyone could please help me? I am still stucked with this problem... Thanks in advance! Regards

Hello everybody I would like to know if its possible to apply a CLOAD with a given orientation. By using DLOAD I can give a predefined orientation, but i would like to use a concentrated load. Is it possible? If not, what is the best way to apply a 200N load to a defined nodeset? Creat a...

Thanks DanStro. I have no idea of Abaqus View and with HyperView I cant find anything because i didnt ask for a temperature output in my input files. Double-checked the documentation files but nothing is stated there.

I would not say that antisquat even is a displacement, but rather a adimensional parameter. IMO the most important thing to know from it, its that it states which percentage of the load transfer is transmited to the suspension springs and which one is transmited to the suspension components...

Hello everybody I realized that I was giving temperature-dependent MAT properties to all my elements (-30°C,23°C and 80°C) because so were given to me, but I didnt set an initial temperature in the initial conditions. So my question is: Which temperature is Abaqus using if its not defined in...

It worked quite well with *NCOPY, *ELCOPY and *MODEL CHANGE: First copy nodes and use translation and rotation. Its a bit tricky with the CHANGENUMBER option. Then *ELCOPY and be careful to use in SHIFT NODES the number used in CHANGENUMBER. But now I get my part doubled but I can not delete...

Sorry mate. I have tried it today and it doesn't work in my model. I am trying it now with *NCOPY but when I import it in the CAE, it remains in the same place as well...

That was exactly was I was looking for. Read the manual though, but I thought it was only to transform another coord syst. that could be already inside the model... Thanks a lot!!

Hi! Thanks for answering so fast. I am not working with the CAE environment, just with code. I don't think that is possible to work with assemblies in text mode or at least it must be really difficult. Any ideas/help? Thanks!!

Hi everybody I am trying to include(import) a sub-model but I need to get it done with a translation. In LSDyna was as easy as writing *INCLUDE_TRANSFORM but I can not find something similar in ABAQUS. Maybe it could be done with *NMAP but I dont know how. Someone can help me? Thanks a lot!
