Hi everybody. I've a question. I know that there are several way to lock the mesh, i.e. shear locking or volumetric locking. But I would like what locking means exactly, if somebody could explain to me. Thanks in advice, Jam3s

Hi looki3000, can you explain better these commands?

Hello to everybody. I've question and I hope somebody can help me. I'm sure that somebody helps me. I've learned to use script to extract data in an automatic way. In this case I need to extract the PE Max.Principal but I can't understend how Abaqus saves this information. If I look at result...

Hi Rob, I've had some problem with my internet connection. During these days I've red the Abaqus documentation about scripting and I wrote a simple script that extract the information that I need to a .txt file. I think that this solution is the solution that you suggested me. I think that...

Hi Rob, I'm very grateful for your reply, but can you explain better this idea? I try to give you more details: I need to extract displacement (along three direction) of a point that I marked with a set. Meshing the part, Abaqus give a number to this set, using some rules that I don't discover...

Hello to everybody. I'm working on Abaqus to develop a parametric study using an interface with SolidWorks and an optimization software. The point is that I've to change my abaqus model several times and Abaqus should mantein partition, force, boundary condition, etc. To do this I need to force...

Hi, I've a problem with the trasfer of a part from Solidworks to Abaqus and I hope that somebody can help me. Solidworks Abaqus Associative Interface gives me the possibility to trasfer part manteining features like partitions or mesh and it's a powerful tool; the problem is that I would to...

Hi glassyoffshore, thanks for the reply. I had a look at your post and at the file that you attached and I would ask you some questions because I haven't solved my problem (perhaps, simply I don't understand your reply). I tried two ways: first, I've change my .inp file simply introducing some...

Hello, I've seen that there are some topics about this problem but I haven't found an answer for my question, so I explain my problem. I need to model nitinol; in literature I've found a lot of parameters that describe nitinol and I've extract some of them that I think they are sufficient for...

Good, now I understand also Abqaus PDE. You are very helpful and competent and I thank you very much. I have another problem: I explain my question to you and, if you can't answer, I will start a new topic. I need to model nitinol; in literature I've found a lot of parameters that describe...

Thanks for the replies, I've tried all the methods that you suggest to me and the solution of my problem is the *anneal keyword; this is a simply function that execute what I want, but it's guaranteed that I'll try to write also a phyton: first I must study the chapter "Abaqus Scripting User's...

Hi akaBarten, thanks for your reply. The script I'm talking about is the script that you said: evidently I don't understand the description of the script that I've found. If I can, I ask you other details about this. First, if I don't change anything, how does it work? And when I run it, why...

Hello, I red a lot of posts on this forum and I found them very useful , but now I have a problem that I can't solve so I hope that somebody can help me. I would to extract the deformed coordinates of my job on a file that I'll use to create a new geometry without stress and strain; I found a...
