Hello Vumat and thanks again for the very helpful advice.
Yes that is correct, i am tryin to generate a cylinder. However, i want to generate a cylinder with a changing cross-sectional area. Do you have any advice on how i could do this?
Thanks for your invaluabale advice again. You've been really helpful!!
I want to try extruding the quarter circle to give a quarter cylinder. However, i'm having difficulty in doing this as i'm unsure on how i would do the node numbering. Do you have any tips on how i could do this?
Hello Vumat and thanks for your help.
Do you by any chance have the original input file? (not parameterized).
The thing is that i actually want to perform a parametric study on a cylinder rather then on a circle? If i am able to make a circle from your quarter circle example, then is it...
Hello Mr goldthorpe and thanks for your replies.
However, my real problem is that i don't no how to generate the elements incrementally for the circle.
Do you know how i could go about this? I know how to do this for squares, but i just cant do it for the circle!!
Thanks again an advance!
Hello Vumat and thanks again for your reply.
So yes, i am first creating a 'user-defined input file', and i am using various examples (such as section "8.3 Investigating the skew sensitivity of shell elements") to help me acheive this.
I then want to parameterize this input file using the...
Hi Vumat and thanx for your reply.
Your right. I will be doin my parametric study using python scripting. However i am not completely sure of how i would apply the mesh using co-ordinates. If it's not too much trouble, would you be able to explain this, by applying this to my input file...
Hello
I need to be able to define the circle in the input file as i want to perform a parametric study.
I cannot do this in CAE, as otherwise this comes up as co-ordinate data in the input file, which is far more difficult for me to parameterize.
Do you know how to define a circle in the...
Hello everyone.
Does anyone know how to define a circle (a face) in the input file. I have been able to define the basic shape of a semi-circle, but i am having difficulty with generating the nodes and elements.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank You!
Hi everyone.
I am using abaqus 6.8 and have been able to import Abaqus's user defined input files (For example, the skew sensitivity of shell poblem). However, lately i have been unable to do this, and i am really unsure of why. Now when i try to open the files, I get an error message saying...
I want to perform a parametric study, where the geometry of an object is varied. However, the only catch is that I need to be able to do this by parametrizing the input file. I have given an example below to more clearly explain, what I am trying to say.
Let’s just say i have a cube, and i...
Hi and thanks for your reply.
My cylinder is an axisymmetric deformable model. I have fixed it with an encastre, and a applied a moment at the top edge (I have included an image of this in the attachment). I have also tried to apply the moment from the top of the cylinder center (on the...
Hello everyone.
I need to apply a torsional load to the top face of a cylinder. I try doing this but my analysis doesnt run. I am using Abaqus 6.7 EF-1.
Can anyone help?
