    Max Envelope of Von Mises for all Steps, error with name visualization

    I have a model wherein I have 92 cases of Linear Perturbation Static steps. Each step produces a map of Von Mises Stresses S. I want a composite map , showing the Max Von Mises Stresses over all the 92 steps. I used toolset "create field outputs from frames " in the vsiualization mode. There...

    Extent of software validation

    I will answer your queries as per the points mentioned in your post, plus some more. 1) Analysis This part is nearly flawless in all self respecting software. This is so, because the formulation is all mathemetical, and computers can handle this part very well. If there are exceptions...

    Mean current density for a marine pile surrounded by MUDSTONE

    Hi All, I would like to know the required current density for a marine pile in seawater surrounded by Mudstone Formation. The Mudstone description is as follows : " Very weak to moderately weak, massive, light brown greenish gray and rosy brown, fine grained MUDSTONE. Extremely close spaced to...

    Load Combinations in Abaqus.

    Thanks Mustaine for your valuable suggestions. I made a slight change to your suggestions and carried out the following steps. 1. First I used Excel to manufacture Load Steps from "Basic " Loads. There were about 22 "Basic" Loads and I manufactured 30 "Load Combinations out of them. 2. Next I...

    Load Combinations in Abaqus.

    Hi All, I know of only one way of affecting the load combinations . Accomplished by running each step as linear perturbation and then applying combinations in visualization mode. Create field outputs from frames. Is there any simpler way, other than the one described above? Rgds Shindey

    Changing a General Static step to Linear Perturbation step

    Thanks Mustaine! So foolish of me to ignore that option.

    Trouble copying a model

    Hi, In a particular .cae file , I'm having trouble copying any model residing in the model database of cae file. The error reported is that Module in which the copy macro is being run is not appropriate. Note that in other .cae databases the model copy command does work, but Iam having trouble...

    Generating Point Loads in Abaqus through Excel

    Thanks Mustaine. Managed to cobble up a VBA code to do the needful.

    Generating Point Loads in Abaqus through Excel

    I'm wondering whther there is any easy way of inputting joint loads into Abaqus, directly from a list either in text format or from excel sheet. Iam aware that it is possible to generate joint loadings through python scripting, so that I can write a python script to read off from a text file or...

    Point Load input in ABAQUS

    There are 6 points to be loaded with load sixtet(FX,FY,FZ,MX,MY,MZ). I have been provided the loads in tabular formats. If I want to input the load in ABAQUS, I have to create 12 loads. 6 point x 2 loads for each point( one for inputting the concentrated force, and the other one for inputting...

    On Anchor Bolt design as per ACI 318-04

    Hi, Am I wrong in assuming that ACI 318 14 deals with Shear design of anchor bolts in which the shear force is in a direction of critical edge. Can I neglect the cases where the shear force is directed away from the critical edge? What about the case when it is not clear that Shear is neither...

    AutoCAD reports error in reading the .sat file created by Abaqus CAE

    Hi, When I export a part or assembly from Abaqus as a .sat file, the .sat file is unable to be read in by AutoCAD. Is this s common error and is there any way around it? Rgds Shindey

    Critical Load in column using plated elements.

    Hi DRM18, I applied a load of 10kN. Then I wait for the application to calulate the eigen value. Lowest Eigenvalue multiplied by 10kn gives me the euler critical loading. I used elastic material.

    Critical Load in column using plated elements.

    Hi, I attempted a buckling column analysis in abaqus. The problem in question was a cantilever column, 3m long ,Hollow square section 100mm x 100mm and 10mm thk. The material used is steel. The theoretical Euler Critical compression value comes out to be 276kN. I did this in two ways. Firstly...

    Import 3d Autocad to Abaqus

    Yes you are right. You WILL get serous errors when importing 3D files from AutoCAD to Abaqus, unless you are an expert in AutoCAD, .sat and Abaqus, which is well nigh imposssible for most of us. I do the following things to overcome these difficulties, 1. Prepare complex dwgs save as dxf and...

    Importing a Model from Input File, Load Statement gets disturbed

    Hi, On importing a model in the form of .inp file, the load definitions gets distorted. The details are explained below The Load definition in the input file looks like this:- ** LOADS ** ** Name: Frc_Grav_Col1 Type: Concentrated force *Cload, op=NEW Col1, 1, 291000. Col1, 2, -1083000...
