Through Thickness Residual Stress

Through Thickness Residual Stress

Through Thickness Residual Stress

(OP)
I am modeling through thickness residual stresses as follows:

*Initial Conditions, Type=Stress, Section Points

Element_group, 1, 50,25, 0

Element_group, 2, 50,25, 0

Element_group, 3, 50,25, 0

Element_group, 4, 50,25, 0

.

.

ABAQUS documentation 6.14:

Data lines for TYPE=STRESS, SECTION POINTS:

First line:

Element number or element set label.
Section point number.
Value of first stress component.
Value of second stress component.
Etc., up to three stress components.
I got this warning:

Initial Condition type "stress" contains unsupported parameter "sectionpoints". The initial condition will be ignored.

Does anyone know what is the problem?

RE: Through Thickness Residual Stress

Reproduce the issue on a small dummy model and attach the .inp here. I'm quite sure that the problem is easy to find.

RE: Through Thickness Residual Stress

In the attached file is no problem with the initial conditions. But you should remove empty lines and check with the manual how node and element sets are generated correctly.

RE: Through Thickness Residual Stress

(OP)
Thanks for reviewing the .inp file.
I removed empty lines and redefined the element and node sets, but I still got the warning message.

RE: Through Thickness Residual Stress

Then you've did it wrong. Check that you've added the "generate" parameter when you want to use the generation method for the sets.

RE: Through Thickness Residual Stress

Read my previous post again and take another look at your tiny input file.
