Mirroring blast load affects
Mirroring blast load affects
(OP)
Is there a way of mirroring blast loads (CONWEP) into static loads and get accurate similarities? In my model, I simulated a blast load acting on a honeycomb and my objective is to optimize the honeycomb structure to reduce displacement but due to the fact that the optimization module in Abaqus doesn't work with the explicit solver I have to mirror the bast load into static load to make the analysis implicit and then optimize it. I would really appreciate it if anyone could help since i am stuck.

There are many ways to do it. You should create a set with the nodes you want to use for that process first. Then you could use *Node Print to write the nodal displacements into the .dat or you create a report in A/Viewer during postprocessing. When you display only that node set, then the report will only contain these entities.
When you have the data in a text file, you have to check if the format is correct and then you could copy th data as BC in your new analysis. Or keep the data in the separate file and you use *Include to refer to that.
