I'm using the subroutines HETVAL and USDFLD in Abaqus. In USDFLD, COORD is being an input. Is this the coordinates for the current integration point or the current node? And the same question for the TEMP(1) in HETVAL.
I'm not calling any other routines.
I have looked in the manual but I'm...
Hi,
I want to include *heat generation in my heat transfer analysis. I have the subroutine HETVAL to calculate the flux. Let say that the flux is a function of the current y-coordinate and the current temperature,
eg flux=y*temp (an example)
Right now I'm using USDFLD to get the y-coordinate...
Ok, thanks! Regarding chosing side, I realized that Foundation was applied to an element set. I had name the set in such stupid way that when looking at the model after som time I thought it was a surface...
So, the foundation is attached to the elements, giving stiffness regardless if...
Hi.
I'm thinking about using *Foundation in my model. I'm using shell element STRI3. After reading in the Abq manual it is my understanding that using this card means putting my elements on "a bed of spring". The element are located exactly in the x-y plane. Let say that I apply *Foundation on...
Hi.
I have a very simlpe 2D-model in Abaqus CAE. I haved meshed it and used the input file in my research. Now I need to rotate and translate the mesh. I have used the tools in the "Instance" menu. But, when I write the input file, the node coordinates are the same, and instead *System is used...
Hi.
In my model have have to apply boundary conditions in the input file directly on node numbers. I.e NOT on node sets.
I can only get this to work if I use "mdb.models['model name'].setValues(noPartsInputFile=ON)".
The problem is that I have to access the odb fíle with a script. I used to use...
Look in the Abaqus Scripting User's Manual --> An introduction to .. --> Simple examples --> Creating a part.
This script creates your geometry in CAE.
Just copy paste your list of coordinates in to the script. Maybe you first have to right another script (in Python or Matlab) that creates...
Hi.
I want to apply a rotation along a arbitrary located boundary. Although I can't find a way in CAE to do this without calculating what this rotation corresponds to around the x-, y- and z-axis. In the load module it is possible to apply forces and moments along a boundary (using "shell edge...
Hi.
In the Abaqus manual it is explained that the elastic foundation (i.e *FOUNDATION) acts in the element normal, and follows the deformed configuration during large deformations. My question is if it is then necessary to turn on NLGEOM in order for Abaqus to use large deformation theory and...
