    Partitions with same section results in stress discontinuities at the interface

    @icebreakersours Thanks a lot. That was the reason. Turning off "use region boundaries", under "computation" tab in "result options" window, has done the trick. Really thanks for sharing your knowledge and time. I wish you a good day.

    Partitions with same section results in stress discontinuities at the interface

    @icebreaker I'm analysing what you've suggested. I'll report back here once I've investigated. Thanks a lot for your efforts.

    Partitions with same section results in stress discontinuities at the interface

    I'm really aware that the meshing I've used in that .cae is very inefficient, but that mesh was only one of the ways I used to understand what was creating the discontinuity in stress field as I've reported before. I tried to use such kind of meshes to exclude the influence of meshing itself in...

    Partitions with same section results in stress discontinuities at the interface

    thank you very much for your kindness, here is a zip file with the .cae inside. Download Link .cae If you try to run the analysis you will see some warnings that can be ignored (like a null density warning: I've defined the mass of the impacting mass using the engineering features and so I've...

    Partitions with same section results in stress discontinuities at the interface

    I've checked and I'm sure that the two regions have the same element type. Also refining the mesh hasn't helped. I do not know what to think anymore..

    Partitions with same section results in stress discontinuities at the interface

    Hi, I have created this partition because the most superficial layer must be of a different material. However since I was experiencing stress discontinuities I thought to test abaqus behaviour using the same material in order to exclude possible errors in the model definition. However I was...

    Partitions with same section results in stress discontinuities at the interface

    As the title explains, in my abaqus model I've a part that is split in two regions by a partition. For each region I've defined the same section separately (i.e. I've assigned an "A" section to the first region, and then the same "A" section to the other region). The analysis shows a gap in the...

    diaphragm accidental eccentricity on response spectrum analysis

    Hello everyone, I'm using sap2000 software to perform a linear dynamic analysis of a simple two storey building using a response spectrum. For each storey I have defined a diaphragm. Referring to sap2000 help, I should be able to assign diaphragm eccentricities by using the "Overrides" button in...
