Hi! I was wondering if any of you could tell me the python comands to get the step names from an odb file. Also, I would really like to get the numbers of the elements that have specific and same element type, from parts or instances in the assembly. Is it possible to script it? Thank you! Oriol

Sure, Nileo2005. But do it just once. Then create a set and you will be able to reach it whenever you want much easly. Oriol

Thanks Jlog50 and corus. In fact I'm running it remotely. The computer node were I'm trying to submit the job has 32Gb of memory. That is why I though could be related with some setting in the .env file. Perhaps all files together during pre-processing exceeds 32Gb and the unit10 'file' is the...

Check in the 'Selection toolbar' if, while selecting the cell, you have the option 'Cells' or 'All'. Oriol

Hello Jlog50, In fact I followed step by step the example from the presentation of abaqus 6.10 in simulia but anyway, as far as I understand we have: - For the stuctural model: ** Interaction: Int-6*Co-simulation, name=Int-6, controls=Int-6_Ctrls, program=MULTIPHYSICS*Co-simulation Region...

Hi! I'm trying to perform a simulation with a quite, lets call it, big model. The fact is that while performing the pre processing the simulation fails and I get a message in the .dat file that says: ***ERROR: THE FILE SIZE EXCEEDS THE 16 GB LIMIT ON UNIT 10 Does any one know what can be...

Hi, you have to create a set containing the cell. Then, using "create display group tool", you will be able to selected more easily. Oriol

Well, I was testing quickly how is co-simulation working on an example last week. I succeeded runing it but still a lot to do in order to get what I really want but if it helps, here you go: .inp for CDF: *Surface, type=ELEMENT, name=_PickedSurf7, internal __PickedSurf7_S4, S4 __PickedSurf7_S6...

What loki3000 wanted to tell you, I think if not correct me, is that in abaqus.rpy file located in your working directory, you can see every python command abaqus executes when you do something clicking on the abaqus interface. In this way, you can script and then to modify some values... and...

Hello! I performed a stress simulation which has as a predefined fied temperatures from a previous heat transfer analysis. Does anyone know if I can see/visualize the read temperatures from the stress.odb file? Using abaqus for results visualization. Thanks a lot! Oriol

Ok! Will check that. Sorri Niranjan :) Oriol

Hi, I guess it depends how you modeled the surface. I'm modeling contact with a surface as well and my surface is a 3D analytical shell. Then I made it rigid because I didn't care how the surface itself reacts or deformes but how is the solid that gets in contact with the surface. The contact...

Hi! I will need to cancel one job because I'm gonna run out of memory. I do not want to change anything from previous analysis, just to use more computer-nodes to perform the analysis. I have read the documentation but one think isn't clear for me: The new .inp file that I have to create, do I...

Thanks! You helped me a lot. Regards

well, it would be a possibility but it's a bit too dificult at the point I'm now in this project. thanks anyway. I think a possible solution will be to add a friction coeffitient in the contact property. i guess i understood wrong the wires funtion. i thought i could keep to points from...
