Hello Everyone,

I am trying to apply the periodic boundary condition for a 2D model in Abaqus by creating the dummy node and specifying the boundary condition on the dummy node but while I am doing that I am getting an error "Node set assembly_set-dummy_n has not been defined". I tried so many ways to correct this error but I am not able to do that. please help me to solve this error.
Here I am attaching the input file for better understanding the error I am getting and please let me know where I am doing the mistake.

Thanks,
Ravi.

To fix this error just replace this:

*Boundary, real
Set-Dummy_N, ...

with this:

*Boundary, real
Dummy_N, ...
 
When I run your new input file, there’s no error regarding node sets. Maybe you submitted the old file accidentally.
 
Sorry FEA way,
Did you change anything in that input file before running the new file because I downloaded the same file and run that in my system still, it is giving the same error?

Here I am attaching the image file of error I am getting when I run the new input file.

Thanks

The thing is that I run your input file directly (without opening it in Abaqus/CAE). When you import this model to CAE, it shows errors because sets and equation constraints are not properly handled in this case.
 
Thanks, FEA way it worked well if run the input file.

Thanks.
