Abaqus predefined field

Abaqus predefined field

Abaqus predefined field

(OP)
I need to import residual stress field into my model using the Predefined filed option and output database file. Everythin is ok until I need to start the calculation when it says; The following file(s) could not be located: "C:/....." . But file is there of course. Do you know maybe where is the poblem?

Best,
Darko

RE: Abaqus predefined field

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but it's looking for a .prt file. You gave it the full path to the odb including extension, which is incorrect.

Quote (Abaqus Analysis User's Manual Section 1.2.1)

For files referenced by the FILE parameter, the name must be given without an extension in most cases since Abaqus assumes that the file to be read has the correct extension for the file type that is relevant to the option

It's also case-sensitive, so doublecheck that as well.
