Thanks for your reply. I will do that. However, the two different values I entered produced two separate jobs, that were ran one after another (taking 45 mins each). If I were to run these jobs with those same values through the Abaqus GUI, then they would only take 20 minutes each. So I think...

Hi all, I have recently attempted to run a parametric study using Abaqus, making use of a .psf script file and a modified .inp file. I am investigating the effects of variation in indenter displacement and axial compressive force on collapse pressure of a pipeline, and I am also measuring the...

Hi Greg, I understand now, thanks.

Hi all, I have uploaded my model in the form on an input file, I have been unable to use Abaqus2Matlab due to software installation issues. Would someone be able to look at my model and give me some guidance on how to extract the coordinates data I need? I have requested coordinates and...

Hi Greg, Thank you for your reply. My apologies, but would you mind explaining how output information from Abaqus (node number, node coordinates, node deformation) would fit into the code you posted? I am guessing that my output info from ABAQUS would go here, becoming the variable 'a': "%...

Thanks all for your advice. After searching and reading some material online, I will use MATLAB to process my results. I have found a useful piece of software called Abaqus2Matlab. It seems to do some of the legwork for you, and allows you to import results into MATLAB for analysis. As...

So would I then have to compare those coordinate values to the coordinates before the deformation to filter out elements belonging to the indentation, as you suggested a few comments above?

Hi Fea Way, "You could use the deformed coordinates (COORD output variable) to filter out elements belonging to the indentation" Does the COORD output variable only get coordinates of nodes that have been displaced then? Thanks

Hi Greg, Many thanks for your reply, it is very helpful. Do have any links any guides on processing nodal data from Abaqus using Matlab? It isn't something I am familiar with. Also, the node set I will be taking coordinate data from contains roughly 4000 nodes (which will each have an x,y,z...

Hi all, I have been using Abaqus for a relatively short time, and I am using it to simulate the effects of the variation of three different parameters on the collapse capacity of subsea pipelines. This will involve first indenting the model, and then seeing how these indentations/imperfections...
