    Abaqus Analysis Machine Spec Help - GPU Acceleration

    Take a look at that: http://h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/GetPDF.aspx/4AA4-8611ENW.pdf Generally, I can say that there is only a benefit in several implicit jobs. I rather put my money in faster Xeons. My local machine has 2 x Xeon 2643 v3 and 2 x Quadro K5200. T. Tsur G., Medinol.com

    Help meshing a complex part: Part 2

    OK, Now I'm getting to understand the problem. If it is a repeating cell structure, and you are interested in the whole structure response and not necessarily into the rods behavior, you might want to consider using sub-structure in the form of Abaqus Substructure or defining unique material...

    Help meshing a complex part: Part 2

    First, it would be easier to understand with a figure of a unit cell. I'm still trying to understand your decision not to use beams. I couldn't find the thread you referred to. As far as my understanding goes, the rods are not contacting in the joints - they are connected. Hence, no contact is...

    Help meshing a complex part: Part 2

    @ShadowWarrior, you mentioned HUNDREDS of those? If there is no complex contact, or unique non-linearity, the global solution will be better achieved by beams. If you concern is with that corner, you can always remodel it using hexa and run a SubModel. Tsur G., Medinol.com

    Explicit general contact exclude edge to edge contact?

    Try to define the thickness of the beams in the general contact to solve the over-closure. Tsur G., Medinol.com

    [ABAQUS] Convergence problems

    Hi, Not sure I got the idea with the two steps. Each one of them is running separately? or just one of them? Anyway, try to eliminate the convergence error by removing interactions or constraints. It seems that there might be an issue with the initial contact at the beginning of the step. Try...
