Dear All,
I have a question regarding to result transfer between two ABAQUS Explicit simulations.
First one is a large deformation simulation with only plasticity effects (including a striker plate and a specimen). In the second one, I want to transfer stresses and material state, striker position etc. and then modify damage parameters to calibrate them with more than one additional simulations. I am aware that this is possible with the use of "predefined field" " initial state" options. I do all arrangements in ABAQUS CAE. I check *.inp file and in the output requests following statement is present in the first simulation input:
*Restart, write, number interval=1, time marks=no
After finishing first simulation, in the CAE, I copy first model and tried to apply first simulation results as predefined field. But I got an error message says : "The following instance is not available in the previous job. Select another job, select another instance, or rename the instace: "my instace name""
So I could not achieve to apply initial state. When I checked the *.odb file of the first simulation, even there are two instances, it only shows them as "PART-1-1". Therefore second simulation cannot call instances seperately. I do not know why my first simulation changes the instance names to only "PART-1-1". Any advice would be helpful to overcome this issue.
Sincerely,
Ali
