Abaqus crashes when seeding

[Senad83]

Hey all,

Abaqus CAE often crashes when I assign seeds to the model. Has anybody else expirienced this problem, and do anybody know if it's possible to fix this?

Kind regards

Senad

I have not seen this problem. But I must say crash in general is not very unusual. However the nice feature in ABAQUS CAE is that it lets you recover from the crash, when you reopen the file.

I've gotten crashes while trying to seed using Python scripts. As I have understood it it has to do with how I choose the lines to seed in the code. Depending on how you seed (by number or bias) you should choose the lines in differnent ways.

For byNumber the lines should be in a sequence: (edge1, edge2, edge3, etc)
For byBias they should be: edge1 + edge2 + edge3 + etc

That's how I've understood it anyway, but I'm no expert

Thanks for answeres. I would agree with you pettervu, it mostly happends when I seed many regions, so there may be some rules about edge choise. But I've noticed that this rarly happends in 6.8-1.
