    Crack propagattion and Cohesive Elements in Abaqus

    Hi, actually this article is copyrighted by wiley press. I can not post it here. But you can find it in International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering Volume 50 Issue 7, Pages 1701 - 1736 Published Online: 26 Jan 2001 It should be available at every technical university...

    Abaqus Script: SET definition

    Hi, as far as i know, f.getSequenceFromMask(...) is a CAE intern representation of some .findAT(...) commands. I was not able to use this command properly but you can expose the explicit commands in the rpy-file by typing session.journalOptions.setValues(replayGeometry=COORDINATE...

    Abaqus Script: SET definition

    Hi Valerio, unluckily I don't know any further source of python scripting than the manuals. A good starting point is to try things in CAE and figure out from the rpy-file how it was realized in python. You can find the faces as mentioned above getting myPart.faces[i:i+1] for the ith face...

    Crack propagattion and Cohesive Elements in Abaqus

    Hi Malik, unluckily I'm out of office , so I can't check your settings with ABAQUS. There are two things you can check with your model. First, there is an output field variable called sdeg that shows the degree of damage in the cohesive element. You can also check for quads (or something...

    Abaqus Script: SET definition

    Hi, the findAt()-method returns a face object. The argument for the Set()-method is a sequence, in your case a sequence of faces containing one face. I think this could be the error. Try something like: face1=myPart.faces.findAt(face1center) i = face1.index set =...

    Crack propagattion and Cohesive Elements in Abaqus

    Hi, as far as I know, if you define a solid section as crack path using a material damage law is only possible in ABAQUS/Explicit. In your case, I would use a traction-separation-law. This is explained in section 26.5.6 Defining the constitutive response of cohesive elements using a...

    how to data for a surface

    The suggestions with the partition worked very well. Thanks again! But actually I was not able to get the coordinates for the respective integration points. Do I have to compute those coordinates by hand or is it possible to get it from the odb? I considered VTK for other purposes, but did not...

    how to data for a surface

    I don't need the graphical representation in the CAE. What I need is a list of values that I can further process with python. I try to do it with the xxx.getSubset(...) but I thought there would be a more convenient way. thanks for your help.

    how to data for a surface

    Hi, I'd like to have the values for the stress components for a cut through a body analog to a path in 2d. Is this possible an how does it work. Thanks
