Dear Abaqus useres,
In my analysis I use B31OS finite elements integrated before analysis. My profile in Abaqus/CAE is defined by I profile option.
Where can I read the integrated properties of my cross section (total area, moments of intertia, torsional properties etc.)?
Thank you for help.
Dear Ansys users,
I would like to read bending moments from my beam189 elements. In Ansys WB it is easy to plot bending moment diagram as colored maps with legend. It is very inaccurate.
How can I obtain exact results in node / integration point of my beam189 element?
I tried to use User...
Hello,
I would like to ask about Ansys Mechanical Functions.
Is it possible to hide regions of my structure, where stress concentration (for shell elements) and bending moment concentration (for beam elements) are the highest?
Let's say that I would like to hide some finite elements with the...
Hello,
I have got a question about yield strength of structural steel at elevated temperatures according to EN 1993-1-2 and EN 10028-2.
1/ According to EN 1993-1-2, reduction factors for yield strength are very striking. In a different publications we can find informations that at 50°C, yield...
Hello,
According to Abaqus, it is well-known that he needs true stress - true strain input data in the material module.
In this case user have to convert engineering values for true stress - true strain values manually.
What type of data should I use in Ansys Workbench - engineering...
Hello,
I work in Ansys Workbench and got some problem.
What tool should I use to tie degrees of freedom of beams and shells?
Manual Mesh Connection in case of two shells works fine, but when I want to tie beam elements and shell elements it's impossible to use Manual Mesh Connection option...
Hello,
I am going to perform nonlinear analysis of some shell structures - gas ducts in ANSYS WORKBENCH. I would like to take into account:
1/ thermal conditions
2/ pressure
3/ material nonlinearity
4/ geometrical nonlineality (large deflections)
A) What is the best ANSYS finite element type...
Hello,
I work on simple plane stress analysis in ANSYS. I use PLANE183 finite element. My model is simple plate fixed at left end and loaded by concentrated force at right end.
I wonder why I get always the same von Mises Stresses even when I change surface thickness.
Any suggestions?
Hello,
The question is: is in ANSYS equivalent command to ABAQUS *IMPERFECTION command?
How do you apply imperfections in nonlinear analysis in ANSYS.
Thanks!
Hello!
I would ask you about some training materials for finite element method flue gas ducsts analysis.
Can you recommend any good articles or tutorials connected to this issue?
Thank you!
Hello,
Is it possible to obtain loads in bolts(solid model) at some steps of my analysis? How Can I do that?
Should I convert stresses to force? Or maybe there is another, easier way?
Thanks
Hello,
My question is about contact output variables in Abaqus and differences between them.
I need to find what part of my model is in contact, to do that I use CSTATUS(visualisation) and CPRESS(visualisation & node values) variables. I can simply vizualize this output.
The problem is with...
Hello,
Dear Abaqus users, my qestion is connected to a plasticity problem.
In my analysis I use C3D8R elements. I want to perform only elastic analysis.
Let's say that my analysis material is steel(E=210 GPa, fy=275 MPa, fu=315 MPa).
I want to stop the analysis when the first yielding occour...
Hello
My question is about contact problem using C3D8R elements, surface to surface contact, hard contact.
I have made simple t-stub model. Included images show effect of the analysis in two ways - with different scale factors(1:1 and 5:1).
What do u think about second image, is it ok that in...
Hello,
I have modelled beam using B31OS elements(3D structure).
I got only S11 stresses for all the elements.(i.e only one direction)
Is it possible to get the other stresses in all other directions also (i.e S22,S33) ?
Thanks.
Hello,
I have the sketch with parametrized curve(sinus function). Is it possible to approximate this curve by let's say 100 lines?
I want to divide(approximate) this curve into single lines(I don't want to make reference points and the sketch the lines because I belive there is fastest way to...
Hello,
I need to connect beam element along the shell elements edge. Just like that:
|____________| shell edge
-------------- beam element
|------------| shell edge
Is Constraint with TIE option correct approach in this case?
Thanks.
Hello,
I'm modelling simply supported shell element I-beam.
In my previous analysis I have used *IMPERFECTION command with results of linear buckling analysis(eigenvector). The result of this type of analysis was distorsional buckling(torsion and translation of my I-beam cross-section).
Now I...
