Here is a sketch of my problem.
Thanks in advance for any help. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=dc380460-43a3-48bc-b9c4-6ee3ae35dfd9&file=FEA_Rigid_Body_Rotation_Problem.jpg
When defining a rigid body constraint, is it possible to change the rigid body reference node from step to step? I know that you can only define one reference point per part in the Part module but I can create many reference points in the Assembly.
In the first step, I would like to rotate...
2E-15 is not to small if you're using those units. It's all relative. Just keep the units consistent.
By animation, do you mean deformation? You might need to go into the Options drop down menu and change the deformation scale.
Options -> Common -> Deformation scale factor -> Uniform (try...
I've been looking for help with a few things and I've been using the "search" feature in this forum.
Does anybody know why I can't get any recent posts to display when I perform a search. I don't seem to get anything past 2007.
I’m using these settings for my searches:

I agree with portliner. And just in case you don't have access to the manual...

I'm trying to perform a two stage analysis where I apply a static load in Standard and then a dynamic load in Explicit. I'm having trouble importing the results into the Explicit analysis. I'm using version 6.9 (CAE)
I ran the Standard analysis and included the restart option. Then I copied...
Thanks for the link Woongbi.
I'm trying to model the bond between a liner and its host pipe. I'm applying a moment to a section of the host pipe that has cracked circumferentially. The liner remains intact. I need to determine how much of the liner debonds from the host (from the location...
I'm looking for additional information on cohesive surfaces (for use in Abaqus/Standard). I've read the documentation but it doesn't really give you any advice on choosing parameters.
I'm particularly interested in the stiffness coefficients Knn, Kss, and Ktt. I know that the default...
I’ll apologize in advance for this long winded post, but I also want to thank anybody that’s willing to share their knowledge and give me some advice.
I’m looking for the best way to model the interaction between a cured-in-place liner and its cast iron host pipe. The cast iron pipe is approx...
