Hi Mustaine
Thank you for your answer. When i go to the 'Select geometric regions', i cannot see any other options to allow me to select or toggle to faces. I know they used to be in the previous versions of abaqus, but i cannot see them in Abaqus 6.14. Pleae have a look at the picture.
Any...
Hi All
For some reason i am not getting the Surface Area properties from the Tools--->Query. I have created a simple 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 cube. When I click on the Mass properties, I can only get
Mass properties:
Volume: 0.00100
Volume centroid: -0.01000,0.01000,0.0500
Mass: 7.70
Center of...
Hello All
I am trying to drill a small part where the rotating drill goes inside the part nearly half of the thickness of the part. So far the simulation worked fine however the elements are deleted from only the first layer of the part mesh not further on (irrespective of the mesh density). I...
Hi All
There are two questions please
1) I have two Abaqus Explicit v6.12-2 simulations where i am trying to cut a workpiece. One is turning and the other is drilling and as their names suggest, in turning the workpiece is rotating and the cutter comes in contact axially in the Z axis whereas...
Hi
If you want to change properties in different steps then one method is to first make separate elements of the same part, assign each of them with the different materials using fields as, field '1' as the first material and field '2' as the second. After that call them in the keywords editor...
Hi IceBreakerSours
Thank you for your reply and aplogies couldnt get back to you as i was away. For the time being i have turned back to the version 6.7-1. What i have noticed is if i increase one of the thermal expansion coefficients (still within the legitimate range) the results seems fine...
Hi hadiandfem
Yes you are right, I have found out that there have been changes in the solvers since every upgrade such as from 6.5 to 6.7 and to 6.12 and so on. However i would not have expected the reduction in the numerical value to almost 10um in my case. This can however be corrected if i...
Hi hadiandfem, I am not too sure how can i know about the solver, could you guide me please?
The results difference is:
Heat transfer simulation is accurate
Displacement simulation (where the temperature simulation file is read into the model) the thermal expansion is less i.e. one parameter...
An Update
I have tried writing the input file and ran it on Abaqus 6.12-2. The results have become more unrealistic.
The .cae file conversion from 6.7-1 to 6.12-2 worked with a simpler model but did not work with my model (it is an assembly of a machine tool where some parts are 0with...
Hi sdebock
Yes it is the .cae file. By 'converting' i meant the Abaqus 6.7-1 file when openned in Abaqus 6.12-2 or any later versions, the software asks to convert (upgrade) the file to make it compatible for the current new version. (This upgraded file then cannot be opened back on 6.7-1 as...
Hi hadiandfem
thankyou for your reply. I have done this trial test using two solid rectangular bodies interconnected. Done on 6.7-1 and converted the database into 6.12-2. Both the temperature and expansion results are same on both versions.
This means that it works fine for a simple model but...
Dear All
I have come across this interesting issue. I created all my thermal models and simulated using Abaqus 6.7-1 version to see the displacement. I was very happy with my results until i installed Abaqus 6.10-EF2. The version 6.10-EF2 converted the database. After re-running the simulation...
