    CSTRESS History Output in Explicit?

    Hi there, Does anyone know why the CSTRESS output is avaiable as both History Output and Field Output in a Static/General step, but is only available as a Field Output in a Dynamic/Explicit? I can't seem to find any mention of this in the manual or online - is there any way around this? The...

    Axisymmetric Penetration

    No luck with assigning a point mass to the rigid body either unfortunately. Thanks for the help anyways.

    Axisymmetric Penetration

    I use the 2020 version, but I am running it on a supercomputer which uses a 2018 edition I believe. I guess that explains the error. I know that this problem has been modelled before using a surface-to-node interaction, so I am hoping I can figure it out using this interaction. It's strange that...

    Axisymmetric Penetration

    Hi FEA way, thanks for the reply. The problem is I receive this error when trying to use general contact, so I have been trying to avoid it: ***ERROR: *CONTACT cannot be defined on 2D element facets. If the model contains 2D or axisymmetric elements then *CONTACT INCLUSIONS, ALL...

    Axisymmetric Penetration

    Hi all, I have been modelling, with Abaqus Explicit, an analytic rigid body contacting a solid deformable body that is partitioned into two seperate materials. The interaction used for this contact is a surface-to-node interaction, with the master surface being the rigid body and the nodal...

    Abaqus ODB part import issues when using antialiasing?

    Hi all, I am trying to import the deformed geometry of a part from the final frame of an ODB (Explicit analysis) into an Abaqus Standard analysis. I have successfully done this before using the File > Import > Part, however, I receive an error when importing from this particular ODB 'No valid...
