    extract output/process it/update geometry

    Hi there, all of the things you describe (extracting output and do parametric studies) can be done using scripts. You can find a detailed description of parametric studies in chapter 16 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Manual and more information about the python scripts in general you can find...

    ABAQUS Python script: how to select multiple entities within a region?

    Hello, I'm writing an ABAQUS Python script for a parametric study on 2D axisymmetric models of threaded connections. I have the following problem: In ABAQUS CAE it is very simple to select all edges in a rectangular region using the selection feature "Select Entities inside the Drag Shape" In...

    API 5B Dimensions for Line Pipe thread vs NPT

    Hello, I'm looking for a tool to produce API Line Pipe thread (8 tpi) on 4" pipes. But I can't find any company that sells such tools. What I see in catalogues is that NPT threads are very similar to API Line Pipe threads: values of taper angle, and thread length are within the tolerances of...

    API Line Pipe thread

    These kind of connections are used in offshore and pipeline applications (drill pipes, transportation lines and tension legs- so called 'theters'). This connections are used as an alternative for welded pipes because they are more easy to connect at sea and you won't have weld defects. And in...

    Coupling diameter and wall thickness of API Line Pipe thread

    Hello, I currently looking for some data of API threaded connections, more in particular API Line Pipe. I know you can machine Line Pipe threads on any pipe which is standardisized according to API 5L. So you can choose from different wall thicknesses per diameter. But what type of pipe...

    API Line Pipe thread

    Hi, API Line Pipe threaded pipes are used with different standardisized wall thicknesses per diameter (you can use any pipe which is standardisized according to API 5L, I think). -But what diameter (inside and outside diameter) should be used for the Line Pipe coupling? Are there as well...
