I have a model wherein I have 92 cases of Linear Perturbation Static steps. Each step produces a map of Von Mises Stresses S. I want a composite map , showing the Max Von Mises Stresses over all the 92 steps. I used toolset "create field outputs from frames " in the vsiualization mode. There...

I will answer your queries as per the points mentioned in your post, plus some more. 1) Analysis This part is nearly flawless in all self respecting software. This is so, because the formulation is all mathemetical, and computers can handle this part very well. If there are exceptions...

Hi All, I would like to know the required current density for a marine pile in seawater surrounded by Mudstone Formation. The Mudstone description is as follows : " Very weak to moderately weak, massive, light brown greenish gray and rosy brown, fine grained MUDSTONE. Extremely close spaced to...

Thanks Mustaine for your valuable suggestions. I made a slight change to your suggestions and carried out the following steps. 1. First I used Excel to manufacture Load Steps from "Basic " Loads. There were about 22 "Basic" Loads and I manufactured 30 "Load Combinations out of them. 2. Next I...

Hi All, I know of only one way of affecting the load combinations . Accomplished by running each step as linear perturbation and then applying combinations in visualization mode. Create field outputs from frames. Is there any simpler way, other than the one described above? Rgds Shindey

Thanks Mustaine! So foolish of me to ignore that option.

Hi all, Is it possible to change a General Static Step to Linear Perturbation step? Rgds Shindey

So many thanks Mustaine.

Hi, In a particular .cae file , I'm having trouble copying any model residing in the model database of cae file. The error reported is that Module in which the copy macro is being run is not appropriate. Note that in other .cae databases the model copy command does work, but Iam having trouble...

Thanks Mustaine. Managed to cobble up a VBA code to do the needful.

I'm wondering whther there is any easy way of inputting joint loads into Abaqus, directly from a list either in text format or from excel sheet. Iam aware that it is possible to generate joint loadings through python scripting, so that I can write a python script to read off from a text file or...

There are 6 points to be loaded with load sixtet(FX,FY,FZ,MX,MY,MZ). I have been provided the loads in tabular formats. If I want to input the load in ABAQUS, I have to create 12 loads. 6 point x 2 loads for each point( one for inputting the concentrated force, and the other one for inputting...

KootK & TehMightyEngineer, So many thanks . Pryout failure completely escaped my mind as i was focussed on breakout failure only. Rgds Shindey

Hi, Am I wrong in assuming that ACI 318 14 deals with Shear design of anchor bolts in which the shear force is in a direction of critical edge. Can I neglect the cases where the shear force is directed away from the critical edge? What about the case when it is not clear that Shear is neither...

Hi, When I export a part or assembly from Abaqus as a .sat file, the .sat file is unable to be read in by AutoCAD. Is this s common error and is there any way around it? Rgds Shindey
