I am trying to use the addData method for a FieldOutput object. I have failure margins values at the nodes of the model in the component directions 11,22,33,12,13,23. I call the method and place the data in the odb and save it, but when I open the odb in abaqus viewer and open the new field I...
I am having trouble partitioning a body for meshing. I have used divide face to divide the face of this part into about 60 different sections and I have a 2D mesh on all of these faces exactly the way I want it. Problem is this is a 3D shape. I cannot just extrude the element faces in the...
I'm trying to do a multi-step analysis with Cohesive elements. I want the damage from the first load step to carry through to the second. The thing is I have two global models (one for each step). Is it possible to declare a sub-model boundary condition in both steps that refer to the correct...
I am using pressure Fields in an FEM that I have. I add a spatial pressure field to the sim (Insert->Predefined Table Field->Spatial Pressure…) and import the data from a file. If I choose Delaunay - Accurate it takes forever for the field to calculate (still going actually...). I don't...
I'm trying to create a view of an assembly where most parts are transparent and a few select parts display normally (shaded with edges). (like This). NX 8 documentation says "Important objects including highlighted objects, are displayed as usual"... But if I highlight objects and click the...
I had a few questions about post processing in NX.
1. I have results from an ABAQUS run in both *.fil and *.odb format. I made the run twice to obtain *.fil files with both stresses at the integration points and stresses at the nodes. The odb file contains both of these by default. I would...
I'm try to build a complex shape using NXOPEN (in vb) and a text file. The text file contains 455 cross sections with 33 points on each cross section. The values are listed in a csv xyz format in a single file. I have written a journal in vb to import the points at each station (cross...
