i would like to submit jobs to our server as it has more memory can this be done

i had patterned a part about 60 times so it name came up rad1-rad1-pso1 pos1 and the names of the final patterned parts had names longer than 80 characters

i am using abaqus to design and test new products, now i have a product tested i want to make it on the cnc machine which only accepts dxf files does anyone know how to make a dxf file or know of a free converter?

i have has this problem aswel. i have a systel with 4gb ram and it wanted a contigious block of 923mb ram and only 920 was available, i reduced the elements and it came up wanting 915 and only 910 available, i simply submitted it to a server after that and it took many more hours than my...

i have digitised a helmet with a microscribe and imported it into abaqus, problem is its 100 times too big, importing it into scale makes the part invalid which cannot be repaired, can you scale parts after importing?

this works, thanks guys exactly as you said 1 initial 3.42ms 2 drop 1 3 velocity 5.42 4 turn off v5.42 - impact 5 velocity 5.42 6 off v5.42 then impact

Thanks I will try this when I get to work in the morning

Why is there 3 surfaces . I have only one surface. Do I need 3

is there any chance you could explain it step by step

elabbasi, i have done as you have suggestedbut now i have anew problem, after the helmet has impact once it goes back for the next impact but noe the helmet judt goes straight throught the impact surface as though its not there, or as though my general contact interaction no longer works, but it...

i am attemting to model a helmet for an american polo standard where the helmet is dropped 3 times onto the same spot, after the 1st impact the eps liner deforms and the the protection to the head decreases, the next drop is faster at 5ms and yet again more deformation and less proetection. the...

i am modeling a helmet that needs to undergo 3 drop tests in one analysis it needs to drop at a velocity 3m/s where i request the deceleration data, it then needs to drop 5.9m/s and then a third drop of 5.9m/s, how do i do this as i cant add a step after the 1st drop that will allow me to change...

i am getting this error when trying to run an analyis ***ERROR: VALUE FOR PARAMETER ELSET CANNOT BE MORETHAN 80 CHARACTERS does anyone know how to solve this?

i am conducting impact tests on a plastic material the plastic is on an anvil and a striker hits the material. the actual bsi test house has the anvil on a force transduser that measures the force transferred to the anvil how could i model the force transducer, its piezo electric crystal by the way

right i have taken the deformation over original length to get the strain ascending and this seems to be working. now all i have to do is work out how much force is transfered to the anvil, i need to replicate a force transducer, any ideas, i have an impactor falling onto the anvil with the...
