I'm trying to convert the sel into ASCII on my computer. Difficult as well since I can't install any .exe

Unfortunately I cant, I use a cluster so some paramters are there by default, I can only select how many cpus to use, but cant' get rid of the cpu command. It's nervewrecking because I have a .sel file I just can't read it

I found how I can add that to the cluster bu that's what I receive: job=XYZ.inp convert=select cpus=32 memory=30720MB interactive b'Abaqus Error: Command line option "scratch" may not be used with "convert".' According with the manual the two commnad (scratch and convert) are not mutually...

that is from command line only, correct? Any option available to transform the sel into fil within the *.inp file?

What would be the procedure for EXPLICIT? I keep reading the manual with no success. The only info I've been able to find is to write convert=select but I lunch my analysis in a cluster and I don't have that option.

Thank you! I thought about it but was not sure since it was the section not the elements

I need to have in output the membrane forces in each shell element. In Nastran the command is ELFORCE, does anyone know if there is anything similar in ABAQUS? Thank you

We are assessing the problem atm. A bulky reinforcement is attached to longerod (the 2D part of the analysis) and we are worried for it of course, more than for the reinforcement. I assume bushing a hole of a 0.81 mm plate is not a possiblity.

Thank you all for your answers. I need to model the hole because during the machining of that component that hole was drilled larger than specification. Since the component is considered critical and not simple to install, we are checking if and how the stress distribution changes. We are...

Hi all, I have a 3D mesh connect with rivets to a 2D (midsurface) mesh. I'm not sure how to model rivets in this case. If the case was 2D-2D I would create a RBE2 web for each hole and connect each central node to a CBAR. How this translates into 3D-2D?

I could. Should I glue the two plates? No sure if that would be too conservative. I don't see other ways though

Hi all, Imagine have two plates are in contact and they're connected through bolts. The top plate is much stiffer than the bottom one. Now, At the bottom of the bottom plate there is a force applied vertically. Due to the presence of the top plate, the bottom will probably rigidly tilt but...

Can anyone suggest a book or paper that explains how NASTRAN uses the stress-strain curve (TABLES1 and MATS1) in case of non-linear analysis (SOL 106)?

Is is possible in Hypermesh to visualize point masses?

FEW way: both surfaces are simply supported rb1957: If I had found the answer myself I wouldn't have be here asking for clarification...... don't you think?
