@FEA way I have tried to use the following line in the Abqus routine, but I don't see differences. *ELEMENT MATRIX OUTPUT, ELSET=Plate, OUTPUT FILE=RESULTS FILE. (Plate is the name of the interested set)

@FEA way The DS knowledge Base for answer QA00000008126 doesn't seem to be available. I went to 'Simuleon by Technia' site and found a blog in which they talked about a plugin called 'Abaqus material and section definition copyer'. Is that the plugin I need?

Hi everyone! I have to make a confrontation with Abaqus, which made a structural analysis of an anisotropic plate, and in order to do that, I need the lamination matrices A,B,D,Ashear computed by it. Can someone tell me how to obtain them? Thank you in advance.

@FEA way the simulation appeared, but the results are different from the version I used. I will check deeper. Thank you very much for you help!

@FEA way Excuse me, which are the command lines to open directly the .inp file in Abaqus? Thank you.

@FEA way I have submitted the .inp file you just gave me, and I received the same error as before, plus a new one: 1) Unknown assembly level element set SETVAT1. 2) AbaqusException: Invalid variables are specified in an output request. An output request cannot be created in a step where some...

@FEA way of course. Here it is: https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=3f119e32-c0e8-4b52-bb69-f03833a41771&file=SSSS-0000-0000VAT_simplified.inp edit: In this version, there are 8 plies assembled together. I hope it will not complicate too much the...

@FEA way I also tried to check the box of: 'Do not use parts and assemblies in input files' but, again, nothing changed.

@FEA way I removed all the instances names, and obtained expressions like this: *Elset, elset=SETVAT1, generate 1, 9, 1 but the error is still the same.

@FEA way I've already tried exporting the interested sets, and put them in this shape in the .inp file: *Elset, elset=SETVAT1, instance=plate-1 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or : *Elset, elset=SETVAT1, instance=plate-1, generate 1, 9, 1 and I put the instruction right before the...

@FEA way Ok. What about the elements? How can I define them in sets before giving them to the *distribution? As you can see in my file, I have put the elements in the distribution in a very non-efficient way. For example, instead of: 1,165 2,165 3,165 4,165 something more convenient would be...

@FEA way How do you change the default value?

Hi. I am using Abaqus to perform an anlysis on a variable tow angle laminate, and I am having some problems when I start the simulation. The errors are: 1) THE DEFAULT SHELL THICKNESS DEFINED IN DISTRIBUTION ASSEMBLY_PART-1-1_PART-1_THICKPLY1 MUST BE POSITIVE AND HAVE MAGNITUDE GREATER THAN...

@FEA way Thank you very much, I will try it.

@FEA way Which compiler should I use? Matlab? edit: are the code lines I need to insert in the compiler like this? 1) Abaqus.exe 2) routine.exe 3) subroutine.exe
