Hello,
I'm a big fan of these forums. Especially the Abaqus FEA forum has helped me a lot. It has already given me answers to quite a number of questions I had. But now I've started scripting and I ran into a major issue. To clarify my problem, I've uploaded a simplified version of my inputfile ( The model contains fibres and matrix. All fibres and matrix are subjected to a displacement, except for the centre fibre. These boundary conditions give rise to stress concentrations. The core of my work is to determine this stress concentration.
I want to create a code that does the following:
Input: x,y,z (a random location)
Output: the stress S33 at x,y,z.
Based on some previous topics here, I'm close to the solution, but now I'm stuck again. I've already applied the tip discussed by xerf and bEakerPPK ( However, now I get an OdpError saying when I'm calling a variable: "The selected variable is unavailable." I have no idea on how to solve this. I've posted my script below.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
