    Abaqus - Riks

    hey friends, does anyone know how to view stresses and deflected shapes for a certain Arc Length (i.e. certain input load) from the final result. thanks

    mesh convergence for a free mesh (ABAQUS)

    Nevermind, I should have clicked the number of nodes .. and plotted 'no. of nodes vs stress at a point' For anyone interested : Tools - Query - Mesh - Select face although I am pretty sure you all know this ... but my name is Chuck Norris .. so do it !

    mesh convergence for a free mesh (ABAQUS)

    Thank you for the reply, I guess, I am looking unnecessarily for a nice smooth curve like the one below (but with stress): http://postimg.org/image/ot2wjp8lv/ so I should work with percentages ? rather than trying to get a smooth graph. because the stress went up and down on these global...

    mesh convergence for a free mesh (ABAQUS)

    hello guys, How do you go about doing a mesh convergence test for a mesh created through free meshing? I picked a specific point in the model and tried to do a von mises stress convergence at that point. But the problem with this is that I have only approximate global mesh size on the x...

    Abaqus - XY data extraction for shell element

    oh I am sorry, I should have mentioned this before, I am trying to extract the stress values at a certain co-ordinate. It is not at a node. Essentially, this co-ordinate could be in the middle of an element. Thanks

    Abaqus - XY data extraction for shell element

    Hello all, I have tried extracting a stress value at a certain co-ordinate for an equivalent 3d model. I created a path of only 1 node and extracted the von mises stress there. It worked well. However, when I try the same for a shell model, the software says that 'no results could be found for...
