    Really basic questions about warnings...

    Whenever I get a warning that refers to an error with particular set of nodes it always says "....The nodes have been identified in node set XXXXX..." Where can I find this identified set ? I have looked in the 'data file' but I cant seem to ever find them? For example.. "Boundary...

    Using tie constraints

    Thanks, I got it working. I really appreciate everyones help, this forum is proving a life saver for me!

    "..zero FORCE everywhere" & "..zero VOL. FLUX everywhere...&q

    I keep getting these two warnings when I try to submit my analysis and I cant understand what the mean. I know its a little bit useless if you dont know what my model is but can anybody help me interpret what these mean? "There is zero FORCE everywhere in the model based on the default...

    Using tie constraints

    I am using an axisymmetric model and I had to create a 'mesh-part' in order to add springs between the nodes of my model. So I have two separate parts in my model now. My main problem is that I dont want two separte parts, I just want one part with the springs between the nodes, but it wont let...

    Adding springs to an axisymmetric model

    Thanks again for the responses, I thought I had figured it all out until I looked at my results and I realised that when I apply a displacement, it will only apply to one part or the other, but not both together. Also I get a warning during sumission telling me that I have two unconnected...

    Adding springs to an axisymmetric model

    Thank you. That was a very helpful explanation.

    Adding springs to an axisymmetric model

    Im trying to create a porous viscoelastic model of cartilage.. I am modelling a small cylindrical plug so I am using an axisymmetric set-up. I drew my section and I needed to add springs between nodes to model cartilage fibres but when i tried to add the springs, the elements/nodes didnt show...

    Creating Sets?

    I am having some problems with assigning initial conditions to particular sets in my model. I have two parts in the model, one was a 'mesh-part' created from the original part, so they are both essentially the same part, I think..? What I need to know is, what is the difference in creating sets...

    Elements have missing property definitions??

    Thanks for the response. The thing is im not sure how to actually assign the section to the parts? When I create the section I dont ever get any option on assigning it to the part and I havnt been able to find it when I try to edit the section either?

    Elements have missing property definitions??

    I am quite new to ABAQUS but.. I am trying to submit a job and I keep getting the same error, "400 elements have missing property definitions" As far as I know I have created the appropriate section but maybe not. I created the section but im not sure if I need to assign it to the parts? I...
